Question 1

What is a 'ticketing system' and why is it essential for service provider operations?

Accepted Answer

A centralized platform to log, track, prioritize, and resolve customer requests and incidents

Answer

A ticketing system provides a structured, auditable way to manage all customer requests and incidents, ensuring nothing is missed, SLAs are tracked, and customers can be updated.

Question 2

What is 'CSAT' (Customer Satisfaction Score) and how is it typically collected?

Accepted Answer

A survey-based score measuring customer satisfaction with a specific interaction, usually collected post-ticket closure

Answer

CSAT measures customer satisfaction with a specific interaction (like a resolved ticket) through short post-interaction surveys, typically scored on a 1–5 or 1–10 scale.

Question 3

What is the purpose of a 'knowledge base' in service provider customer operations?

Accepted Answer

Provide a searchable repository of solutions, guides, and FAQs enabling self-service and consistent support

Answer

A knowledge base stores documented solutions and guides that both customers (for self-service) and agents (for consistent support) can reference to resolve common issues faster.

Question 4

What does 'proactive communication' mean in a service provider customer operations model?

Accepted Answer

Notifying customers of issues, planned maintenance, or relevant changes before they are impacted or ask

Answer

Proactive communication means reaching out to customers before they are impacted — such as notifying them of planned maintenance or a detected issue before they call.

Question 5

In ITIL, what is the difference between an 'incident' and a 'service request'?

Accepted Answer

An incident is an unplanned disruption; a service request is a routine request for a new resource or information

Answer

An incident is an unplanned interruption or quality reduction of a service, while a service request is a formal request from a user for something new — access, information, or a standard change.
