Service details

What Support Operations includes

Support Operations is BackPR’s managed help desk, publishing, and escalation backbone. We build and run multi-channel inboxes—for families, staff, and students—backed by SLAs tailored to your plan. Every request is categorised, prioritised, and routed through BackPR HQ with clear ownership. Playbooks handle policy clarifications, incident escalations, content updates, and urgent notifications, while optional live chat and phone coverage extend support beyond school hours.

Why Support Operations is important

Families expect immediate answers, and staff cannot afford to chase email threads or duplicate updates. Without a structured support function, key announcements slip, incidents stall, and trust erodes. Support Operations provides reliable response times, documented resolutions, and feedback loops that inform leadership decisions. Publishing SLAs ensure websites, LMS modules, and portals stay current—even during evenings, weekends, or crisis windows.

Why to use Support Operations
