Save Time
and Money

How Does it Work?

When your teachers or staff run into a technical issue, they can immediately launch into action by opening Virtual Help Desk on their desktop, browser, or mobile app. Users can choose to begin a live chat or create a ticket if the problem seems to be complex or if it is outside of live chat hours
(7am – 4pm ET).

Tickets are automatically created when a live chat begins, logging the information for future reference. If the issue can’t be solved via live chat, tickets will be dispatched to the onsite IT staff members for further action.

Proactive Ticket Monitoring*

Five Star’s Virtual Help Desk team constantly monitors tickets coming through the portal to help solve issues or dispatch onsite IT staff when necessary. However, if your school has purchased time block hours with Five Star, our team can dispatch extra hands if needed.  If your school purchases or has an existing Engineering contract, we escalate complex issues to our Engineering team for further support.
