  1. Smart Meter Texas (Draft)Help Desk • SMT Help Desk The Help Desk receives, fulfills and closes end user requests for service, incidents, resolution of problems, concerns, questions, and to request services related to hosting, access, and end use of the services. If the Help Desk cannot directly resolve the incident or fulfill the request it is passed to the appropriate support group for resolution or fulfillment. IBM Help Desk Function is based on a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) concept. As such, the first point of contact for contracting TDSP’s personnel or users of the SMT Portal to IBM is via the Help Desk. IBM PIM (Process Interface Manual) Revision 1.0 final Revision date 07 Jan 2010.

  3. Smart Meter TexasHelp Desk Recommended Resolutions Iss-003 See Slide 4 and 5 and associated handout Iss-004 The original scope of work for IBM did not include an email portion. There is a possibility that its technically feasible to add, but certainly not cost justifiable at this time. All tickets can be tracked from the moment they are issuedand a final disposition email is sent to the calling party Iss-006 There are resources from the TDSP’s, IBM, and Contractors that will be utilized as resources to in-depth questions on how SMT works. IBM and TDSP’s can establish a SME Call List made available to all parties that clearly defines area of expertise and contact information.

  7. Smart Meter TexasHelp Desk Recommended Resolutions Day to day IBM is certainly best suited to develop the day to day strawman process based upon their intimate level of expertise within SMT. Strawman will be published upon completion on Feb 28. Functional Issues and Performance and Accuracy Statistics One potential idea here would be to establish a SMT Help Desk Oversight Team. This team would consist of a TDSP, REP and IBM member and would meet on a monthly basis to look at historical issues. Their role will include review of functional issues and performance and accuracy statistics.
