1 IT person for each 100 people they are supporting. Make sure when entering the amount of time worked on tickets it equals at least 80% of the workday. Average production of a worker is actually about 70 to 75% of the day. The remaining time is typically spent on research, admin, etc. Include in your time on your tickets all the time spent researching a problem, waiting on hold for a SME/Vendor support, etc. Also ensure they know that if there are only 2 of you the probability of lack of support at any given time will go up. One person is sick and the other has a doctor appointment or goes to lunch, etc. there is zero support during that hour or couple hours. Hope this helps. Oh and let us know what your new job is. Merry Christmas!
