Akkodis - Strategic Partner of Choice for Standard Life’s Talent and Service Desk Management


Business Challenges

 

Standard Life’s service desk was manned ten hours a day, six days a week, and staffed by IT contractors — a costly solution that also posed a significant risk. After becoming overly reliant on the knowledge of these contractors, Standard Life’s service offering risked vulnerability to disruption in the face of attrition. To future-proof their services, Standard Life required a 24×7 support structure capable of supporting new technologies, territories, and engagement models, with the resources to retain specific knowledge and improve SLAs at the best possible cost point.
