What happens if we get interrupted during a Helpdesk session? Our Helpdesk technicians are specially trained to work with businesses they understand that from time to time, interruptions are inevitable. Your agent will work out a plan with you on the phone that may include getting your permission to continue working in the remote session, or wait for you to instant message if the session can resume shortly, or arrange a call-back appointment later that day or on a different day as you prefer. If a follow-up appointment is made, a follow-up email will confirm the new call-back date and time. What happens if a customer interrupts a support session? At Helpdesk, we understand your business is priority number one. If you need to interrupt a session, or if it is taking longer than anticipated, we will schedule a call-back time. To make your time efficient, we often research a complex problem and then follow-up via chat, call, or reschedule meeting to finish the technical help session when you have time. With your permission, remote desktop sharing can also allow you to work on other things, or support your customers while our Helpdesk agent works on your support session. What are the Helpdesk Services hours of operation? Helpdesk Services call center agents are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for technical assistance. Is it easy to use? By allowing a remote technician to access your computer through the Internet we are able to perform work on your computer directly. You can simply sit back and watch. Or, you can work on something else while the technician is fixing your computer. Remote computer support is simple, convenient and, best of all, it's hands-free. Simply call our Helpdesk line, initiate a secure desktop sharing session with our technician, and then let go of the mouse and let us help you. How long does an average support session last? Online support sessions can last anywhere from a few minutes to much longer, depending on the type of help you need. In some cases, a computer may need a comprehensive tune-up, such as with a severe case of spyware which can take over an hour. In other situations, you may be looking for quick set up and support for a new personal printer in a digital camera. These sessions may be as short as 30 minutes. For simple problems, like locating a lost file or fixing an email problem, you can typically get help in as little as 15 minutes. 3
Can you get back into my computer after my session is over? No, not unless you log in again and request service to resume. When you log into Helpdesk Services' secure online sharing tools, you are prompted to download a temporary desktop sharing application, and supporting tools that allow us to view and interact with your computer. However, once your service is complete and you log off, the temporary application and accompanying tools are automatically deleted from your PC. We can no longer see or access your computer. Is it secure? We use a 128-bit encrypted connection between your computer and the technician's computer. This sets up a unique one-to-one session that prevents others from viewing or accessing the session. In addition, you are in control only you can initiate a remote support session, and you can end a session anytime by simply closing the support window on your desktop. Also, you are always in control of your mouse (cursor). During your session you will see the technician using your cursor to locate and fix problems, but at any time you can over-ride mouse control by simply moving your mouse. Are your technicians qualified to work on my computer? Our computer technicians are Microsoft application and product specialists and HTML developers. Every technician has extensive multi-brand PC and technology experience, is pre-qualified, has 3+ years experience in a help desk environment, and completes an extensive 2-week training course on excellent service delivery and the virtual interface. Additionally, we provide training specifically on supporting business customers, including business software and security needs. With Helpdesk Services, you're in good hands! Do Helpdesk technicians understand my business environment? In addition to technical certification, our agents are trained specifically for our business program and our Helpdesk professionals are primarily based in North America. Our Helpdesk agents are specifically trained to provide business support, and specialize in handling business scenarios, security, and technical issues. 4
Where are Helpdesk technicians based? North America. How do I know if you support the software I use most often at my business? Our Supported Products section is where you can find a detailed list of software you can expect to get good technical advice for. We provide full application support for Microsoft Office Suite. If you are calling about a Major Database or Line of Business Application, we do require you to have a current support agreement in place with the manufacturer. Customization of these applications from one small business to another is significantly complex, and may require specialized technical support above and beyond what Helpdesk can provide. But, you will get an assessment from Helpdesk on whether the problem can be solved, and what kind of request you might need to make of technical support for more complex issues requiring programming or software break-fix support. We can help make sure most business applications are running properly on an approved operating system, and we can provide how to assistance for many operating system common functionalities. But advanced support specific to a software product may also require the manufacturer s expertise. Similarly, for Cloud based solutions and apps, we can provide technical Helpdesk troubleshooting and support, so you know what steps you need to take to follow-through with issues requiring the cloud provider s support. In summary, although we have a list of common software applications we support, many small businesses customize their applications. Our HP Helpdesk technicians can still help your business staff with common platform usability questions (such as, exporting, importing, formatting, file issues, security questions) and will help your staff identify when to escalate and how to describe the issue to technical staff trained specifically in customized business applications. Software and applications change all the time if you have a specific question about coverage for a specific software application, call our Helpdesk to discuss details with a technical agent. Is Helpdesk Services just for problems or can it help me with installing new software or networks? Helpdesk Services can help with technology problems including help with installing new software or with network configuration. 5
What if I am having trouble with a special software program our business uses that has been specifically designed for my industry needs? Although we have a list of common software applications we support, many small businesses use software specifically for their industry (construction, architecture, dentistry, etc.). Even though these applications may be unique they often have many functionalities that are common to their Microsoft, Apple, or Android platform. Our HP Helpdesk technicians can help your business staff with common platform usability questions (such as, exporting, importing, formatting, file issues, security questions) and will help your staff identify when to escalate and how to describe the issue to technical staff trained specifically in customized business applications. If you have a specific question about coverage scope for a specific software application, talk to your favorite reseller about Helpdesk, or discuss details with one of our technical agents. What if my business uses software that has been custom modified or configured for our business? Many small businesses customize their applications with unique business-specific programming, even in common software applications. Even though these applications may be unique, they often have many functionalities that are common to their Microsoft, Apple, or Android platform. Our HP Helpdesk technicians can help your business staff with common software usability questions and will also help your staff identify when to escalate and how to describe the issue to technical staff trained specifically in customized business applications. If you have a specific question about coverage scope for a specific software application, talk to your favorite reseller about Helpdesk or discuss details with one of our technical agents. Why do I have to check the website for coverage changes? An important part of using your computing equipment is using your software effectively, and software can change quickly. We update our website as needed to keep you appraised of the latest software coverage scope. The website information is to help you see what is covered as new software rolls out. If you have a specific question about specific coverage scope, talk to your favorite reseller about Helpdesk or discuss details with one of our technical agents. 6
I am having problems with a new computer I recently purchased. Will Helpdesk Services handle warranty problems? If you have a new computer in warranty, it is to your benefit to first attempt to use any warranty service offered by your hardware or software manufacturer, as these services are typically offered free of charge for a specific period of time, and you could void your warranty by not following terms. Our Helpdesk agents will assist with troubleshooting but they are not a repair desk. A warranty can help if your new equipment needs repair. However, if you are having an issue using your computer or software that is not related to warranty such as syncing a device, setting up licensed business software, or setting up new templates then our HP Helpdesk agents can help. Can Helpdesk Services teach me how to use my computer? Helpdesk Services can provide basic instruction on use of software, and specific features of your computer, but we are here as technical consultants and our services do not replace in-depth training programs. Our Helpdesk training is limited to how to questions on commercially available applications or peripherals. We do not provide in-depth training on how to write formulas or build a PowerPoint but rather directional assistance to move forward in a program so your employees can get quick answers to specific usability questions. What will I be expected to know about computers to use Helpdesk Services? Our technicians are trained and available to assist users with all levels of computer knowledge. If you prefer, you can show us in a remote sharing session what the problem is, and we ll help from there. Just tell us what your question is in your own words and leave the troubleshooting to us. How do I get help from Helpdesk Services? Our Helpdesk is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by phone. Please go to our main page at hp.com/go/helpdesk for the phone number you should use to contact us. Once we are in a call, we can initiate a remote desktop sharing session which may include chat. We may send you occasional emails if we have scheduled a call-back appointment with you. The primary way to contact us is by phone whenever you need help. 7
Do my part-time employees need their own plan when they only work a few hours a week? Discuss your Helpdesk options with your favorite reseller. If your employees are using multiple computers or multiple primary devices, our Multi-plan is designed to cover your needs. If you have only a single computer covered under your service plan, you will need to maintain a single primary email account and contact number, but you may be able to cover occasional calls from other employees on your device. What if I want to cover my whole office? Discuss your options with your favorite HP reseller. We can set up multiple plans to cover all your office staff. If you have a specific question about office plan coverage, talk to your favorite reseller about Helpdesk, or discuss details with one of our technical agents. What geographies are covered in my Helpdesk plan? Our U.S. Helpdesk service is 24x7 coverage for customers in the U.S. and is primarily serviced by North America-based Helpdesk staff.
