2010–2016

Six years watching good technicians do bad work, on purpose.

Tessa Dunmore spent six years running tier-1 operations for a large offshore outsourcing firm, the kind that promises MSPs cheap 24/7 coverage and delivers it by handing technicians a script for tools they've never actually used. The technicians weren't the problem — most of them were sharp, and frustrated by how little they were allowed to actually help. The problem was a business model built entirely around average handle time, where getting a caller off the line mattered more than getting their issue solved.

2016

A different bet: quality and invisibility aren't in tension.

She founded Service Desk Center on a specific bet: that a white-label service desk could be genuinely good — technicians actually trained on each client's specific PSA, RMM, and documentation setup, measured on resolution quality and CSAT rather than call duration — and still be completely invisible, answering every call as the client's own team, from a script that sounds like the client wrote it because, in practice, they did.

The name is deliberately plain. When an MSP is deciding who to trust with their after-hours line, "Service Desk Center" is not trying to be clever about it.

What We Hold To

Four things that haven't changed since 2016.

01

Trained on your stack, not a generic one.

No technician touches your tickets until they've been onboarded on your specific PSA, RMM, and documentation setup — not a generalized version of "IT support."

02

Measured on resolution, not handle time.

We track first-call resolution and CSAT as primary metrics. Average handle time is monitored, but it has never been a target anyone here is paid against.

03

Invisible means invisible.

Every call, chat, and ticket response goes out under your brand. If an end user ever realizes they're talking to a third party, we consider that engagement a failure, not a minor slip.

04

The pilot period is real, not a formality.

We don't take over your full ticket volume until a genuine pilot period has run its course and you've seen the metrics for yourself.
