Service Desk

A service desk is the single point of contact (SPOC) between the service provider (IT) and users for regular everyday activities. This software has the potential of managing incidents and services besides managing user communications for things like outages and planned changes to services. Basically, it is a ticket management system that enables enterprises to implement strong and effective workflows for internal and customer-facing support departments.
