If your organization’s infrastructure is made up of Microsoft enterprise technology – Such as Windows, Active Directory, Exchange, and Office 2007, then you probably know all too well that supporting your organization and making use of your existing technology isn’t easy or cheap. That is, until now.

Meet IgnitionDesk – Lighting the way to a better helpdesk.

IgnitionDesk streamlines and connects staff with tools and resources by integrating with key enterprise technologies, such as Microsoft Active Directory®, Unified Communications®, LANDesk Management Suite, Microsoft Office® 2007 and other enterprise platforms.

Ease of Use – Using the same User Interface (UI) as Microsoft Office 2007, we offer a familiar environment for staff to quickly get up and go with less training than other service desk solutions. Actions are grouped in logical places and the use of softer coloring across the application reduces fatigue and stress in fast-pace environments.
Integration – IgnitionDesk integrates with your organization’s existing ecosystem – Ranging from scheduling meetings, sending email, resetting Active Directory passwords, and remote controlling a workstation.
Pricing – We offer a number of pricing options for organizations large and small, allowing you to support your organization without breaking the bank.
Migration – We understand that most organizations already use a service desk solution of some kind and may need assistance migrating to IgnitionDesk. IgnitionDesk also allows you to import your Active Directory accounts into IgnitionDesk as customers, saving countless hours of data entry.
