Service Desk Software
Giva eServiceDesk
The rapid pace of business means that all parts of your organization must be responsive to requests for
service — from Finance, Facilities, and Human Resources to Operations, Payroll, and even the Copy Center.
To help you maintain your competitive edge across your entire organization, you need an integrated
service request tracking and reporting system — an "operating system" for your customer-driven organization.
With Giva eServiceDesk™, you can implement multiple, independent service desks that share a single employee or customer database. All your service organizations can manage their operations independently with the same application which can be uniquely customized for needs of each department.
Giva eServiceDesk™ is the most powerful and at the same time the most easy-to-use service desk application.

Why Giva?
Giva eServiceDesk delivers more than just a powerful, easy-to-use
service desk software solution. Built on a world-class infrastructure,
it offers:
- One-week deployment
- Best-in-class usability
- Three editions to meet your needs
- Deployment with either the hosted Giva On Demand
Software™ option or local installation
One-Week Deployment
With easy set-up and configuration without programming, you can be
up and running on Giva eServiceDesk quickly. In fact, existing Giva
customers have deployed Giva eServiceDesk on a worldwide basis in
one week – an Internet connection and a standard Web browser
are all you need. In contrast, according to Aberdeen Group, other
service desk software solutions typically require trained experts
for set-up and customization, which may take three to six months.
Best-in-Class Usability
The Giva eServiceDesk user interface is based on common Web navigation
metaphors and familiar icons, drastically reducing training time.
In fact, many Giva customers get up to speed on Giva eServiceDesk
with only a single one-hour training session.
Three Editions to Meet Your Needs
Giva eServiceDesk is available in Standard Edition, Professional
Edition, or Enterprise Edition. All are world-class service desk software
solutions, and each includes a combination of powerful service desk
features to meet the unique needs of your company.
The edition that is right for you depends on the size of your team,
the application components you need, and the level of customization
and integration you require.
Hosted or Locally Installed Deployment
As a true Web-native solution, Giva eServiceDesk is available either
with the Giva On Demand Software option hosted by Verizon Business
or locally installed on your infrastructure.
While some organizations prefer installing and running applications
internally, the Giva On Demand Software option gives you an alternative
– with this hosted service dersk software solution, you can
immediately access services built on a world-class infrastructure
and delivered via the Internet.
With the Giva On Demand Software option, Giva eServiceDesk does not
require any client software, Web or database servers, reporting applications,
databases, or VPN equipment at any of your sites. Your users simply
securely log in to Giva eServiceDesk over the Internet and get right
to work.
