ISS

ISS, one of the world’s leading facility services companies, was supplying The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) with a Facilities Management service desk.

Challenge ISS were receiving complaints from FCO employees about the service desk and how they were sometimes difficult to understand or be understood.

To address the issues reported to them by the FCO, ISS started looking around for an alternative supplier to provide the FCO with a suitable service desk which would address all the current issues. ISS were looking for a supplier that could provide a suitable solution without being a large faceless organisation. The service was quite specialised and more suited to a small to mid-sized support provider that could tailor a bespoke service for them, rather than a large provider that would provide a fixed/standard service desk with no room for adjustment to suit.
Result TCISUK (formerly Merlin Information Systems) were approached to propose a suitable solution. The new TCIS team went live in July 2012 supporting FCO on behalf of ISS.

Due to the success of the FCO service, in September 2012, ISS awarded TCISUK with the ISS Barclays contract. Another service desk team based in Manilla, Philippines, supporting Barclays Asia Pacific & Middle East locations with a facilities management service desk.

To compliment the above services, TCISUK also provide data entry capabilities to ISS for FCO and Barclays (USA), recording the sites energy usage and reporting these figures to the relevant departments.

To date, across all the ISS sub-contracts, TCISUK supply 24 agents out of our Manilla, Philippines offices.
