Oracle transforms global sales operations with Oracle Help Desk

Oracle Communications Sales Operations supports a wide range of quote-to-fulfillment activities for regional sales teams and field reps across the globe. From booking status inquiries and quoting escalations to fulfillment logistics, the team handles hundreds of support requests each quarter. With previous ticketing systems, it was difficult to track ownership, provide continuity, or understand the root cause of recurring issues. Reporting was manual and inconsistent, limiting the team’s ability to identify process gaps and optimize performance. The team needed a scalable, secure, and intuitive system that could consolidate support workflows, facilitate cross-functional collaboration, and surface meaningful insights to drive smarter decisions and faster execution.

“Now that we can actually report on trends, we’re not just reacting—we’re spotting issues early, targeting training, and improving how we support the field.”—Tamiko Arbuckle, Sales Operations Senior Manager, Oracle Communications

To enhance support and bring structure to a high-volume, fast-paced operation, Oracle Communications Sales Operations implemented Oracle Help Desk, giving the team a centralized workspace to manage incoming tickets, collaborate internally, and maintain visibility across the lifecycle of each request.

With built-in reporting and analytics, they can now easily track trends across categories such as quoting, booking, fulfillment, and partner onboarding. Automated dashboards have eliminated hours of manual effort and helped the team identify and prioritize improvements using real data.

The help desk solution also integrates with Slack and provides smart text templates, summary views, and real-time Slack notifications about high-priority tickets, helping the team communicate quickly and effectively. Internal notes and separate conversation threads allow team members to pick up where others left off—reducing cycle times and helping ensure no request falls through the cracks.

Oracle Communications Sales Operations now uses Oracle Help Desk to manage thousands of requests annually across global regions. The average ticket resolution time dropped from 13 days in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 to 9 days in the second quarter, and it has remained steady even as volume has increased.

The team has also seen measurable gains in staff productivity and consistency. Templated responses and automation have replaced many formerly manual tasks, and Oracle Help Desk serves as a central repository of resolved issues, allowing the team to quickly refer back to proven solutions when similar issues arise.

By using Oracle’s own technology, Oracle Communications Sales Operations now delivers faster, smarter support for global sales teams—accelerating issue resolution, reducing friction, and supporting business growth by providing expert guidance and timely assistance to help close deals.
