Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) October 31, 2013 -- Cloud vendor, Giva®, today announced the availability of new educational resources to help companies evaluate current IT help desk or customer service processes, personnel and call tracking tools.

Giva has put together a unique selection of our best whitepapers and most popular educational resources and have made it instantly downloadable, said Ron Avignone, founder of Giva, Inc.

This is the time of year that companies are reflecting on and evaluating their IT help desk and customer service operations. They are deciding if it merits changing processes, workflow, personnel and IT help desk or customer service call tracking tools. Some companies are considering outsourcing and others are considering returning a service desk in house or creating a hybrid service desk model. This important analysis can be aided with the help of Giva’s Excel tools and whitepapers and other vendor independent educational resources available on a complimentary basis from Giva’s web site. Giva has made it convenient to anonymously download these tools without providing any contact information. Customer research indicates that service desk professionals like tools and whitepapers without the “catch” of having to provide personal contact information.

“Giva has put together a unique selection of our best whitepapers and most popular educational resources and have made it instantly downloadable”, said Ron Avignone, founder of Giva, Inc.

The following resources can be instantly downloaded until December 31, 2013:
