After-hours IT helpdesk support your teams can reach

What we handle

Tier 1 coverage for the hours your helpdesk is closed

We extend your helpdesk, not replace it. Your team keeps ownership of systems and fixes. We make sure every call after hours is answered, logged, and routed correctly.

Password resets and account unlocks

Agents verify identity with your script and, where your security policy allows, resolve common access issues on the first call.

Incident intake and classification

Calls are logged by system, impact, and urgency. AI-assisted routing helps group related calls into a single incident.

On-call escalation

Severity rules decide who gets woken up. High-impact incidents reach your on-call engineer fast, with clear notes.

Holidays and emergency closures

Statewide closures, storms, and holidays are covered, so employees and residents still reach a person.

Network and application call trees

We follow your call trees for network, email, and line-of-business applications, and update them as your systems change.

Support in every language

When a caller needs another language, a professional interpreter joins the call, so nothing gets lost in a technical explanation.

How it works

How an after-hours helpdesk call runs

The call is answered

A Tier 1 agent answers your helpdesk line with your greeting, at any hour.

The issue is triaged

The agent verifies the caller, captures the system and impact, and classifies severity under your rules.

Resolved or escalated

Routine issues are resolved on the call. Everything else goes to your on-call team with the notes they need.

Your knowledge base, your scripts

Agents work from the procedures and tools your team approves.

Severity-based escalation

Only the incidents that meet your threshold reach your on-call engineer.

Morning handoff report

Your team starts the day with a clear record of every overnight call.

FAQ

After-hours helpdesk answering, answered

It covers Tier 1 support when your own helpdesk is closed: password resets and account unlocks, incident intake, severity classification, and escalation to your on-call team. Ad Astra answers your helpdesk line on nights, weekends, holidays, and during emergency closures, and sends your team a clear record of every call.

Yes, where your security policy allows it. Agents verify the caller with your identity script and use the tools and access your team grants. Anything outside that scope is logged and routed to your team, so your systems stay under your control.

You define the severity rules before go-live. Agents classify each call by system, impact, and urgency, and AI-assisted routing helps group related calls into one incident. Only incidents that meet your threshold are escalated, with call notes your engineer can act on immediately.

No. We extend your helpdesk into the hours it is closed. Your team keeps ownership of systems, fixes, and tickets. We make sure every after-hours call is answered, triaged, and handed back to you in the morning with full notes.

Yes. When a caller needs another language, a professional interpreter joins the same call. Ad Astra supports more than 300 languages and dialects, so employees and residents can explain a technical problem clearly in the language they speak best, without waiting for a callback.
