3086.0. "Whence Solutions Desk?" by MROA::BERICSON (MRO1-1/KL31 DTN 297-3200) Thu May 19 1994 19:50

    Does anybody know what or where the "Solutions Desk" is?  I have
    started getting calls from customers on my line for the solutions desk
    and I'm unable to help them.  Making me a dufus and giving cutomers the
    run around.
    
    Thanks

    The solutions desk is DTN 275-3200 or 264-3713 (the later for PC's),
    I'm not sure where there located, but I don't know how your customer
    would be aware of the "solutions Desk"....  What they are....A group of
    people within US Logistics Services that assist CSC's SALES, Business
    OPs, etc., expedite, track, trace, etc., orders placed for or by
    customers.  I believe that probably 90% of their calls are from CSC's
    (Customer Support Consultants).  It looks like they've got the wrong
    DTN Prefix (or outside); but the 3200 is correct.
    
    Hope this helps......

 20 desks) at the DTN posted in .1

3086.4264-3713 PC Hotline in MKO1AIMHI::HARMANFri May 20 1994 16:2222
    Hi,
    
    The correct number for the PC Hotline ( a.k.a. Solutions Desk ) is
    DTN :: 264-3713. As stated in other replies, these folks are there
    to provide PC Order Support. They basically act as the "middle person"
    between the Sales Rep ( Field, DDD or Desktop ) and Fulfillment &
    Distribution ( Logistics ). 
    
    Specific work functions include; order status, expedite, shipment
    tracer, cargo claims, post-ship invoice corrections, et.al. They
    do not directly "work" MRR or RA issues, but will ensure the
    proper support group is given the request/issue.
    
    Oh, the group resides in MKO01, down the hall from Desktop Direct
    and is functionally aligned with the PC Business Unit.
    
    Any other question, please call me at DTN 264-0370. I am associated
    with that group.
    
    Thanks and keep selling.
