Have you identified services you didn't know existed?
French GCSE software has been installed locally on two computers and a laptop in Classroom 2. There is no support for this at the moment. We didn't do this so we don't know where the licences are.
  • Identify who has installed this.
  • Locate licences or remove software.
  • Identify supplier.
  • Identify support terms and costs.
  • Review costs with headteacher and head of languages.
  • Can you spot any trends in how work is prioritised?
  • A colour printer has a very fast response and fix time from technical support and XYZ Maintenance, but we can't find out who uses it. 
  • We suspect this is because of the initial high cost of the equipment and the need for benefit to be realised, but that the level of service may not be required (or awareness of availability of service needs to be raised).
  • Find colour printer users.
  • Identify cost of fast response and fix.
  • Review actual response and fix needs.
  • Agree way forward with headteacher.
  • Market service or reduce service levels.
  • Are there any clashes in priority or availability within a service that could restrict its overall service level?
  • Response times for standard off- the- shelf software (email and word processing) is slower than for hardware resolution so could potentially extend downtime.
  • Assess risk and impact.
  • Assess cost of faster response.
  • Review suitability of response times.
  • Have you identified any third-party response or fix time issues?
  • Support hours of third-party suppliers do not match availability requirements (with the exception of ISP Co and LEA).
  • ISP hours are excessive and response times are fast. This may not be required and may be costing us more money than we need to pay.
  • Review requirement.
  • Identify cost of extension.
  • Identify potential savings with ISP Co.
  • Discuss implications and way forward with headteacher
  • Reapportion funds to service providers as agreed.
  • Have you identified any other support issues?
  • Hours of support for interactive whiteboard are not known.
  • Contact Whiteboard Supplier Ltd for details.
  • Review hours for suitability.
  • Update service catalogue.
