What is a Service Desk Software?
A service desk software can do everything that a help desk software does while also enabling the planning, structuring and delivery of IT services at the same time, rather than simply reacting to incidents.
Similar to help desk software, a service desk is also a single point of contact, but in this case it serves as such for end-users as well as for IT service providers.
Rather being singularly focused on meeting the needs of end users, a service desk also aims to meet IT objectives as well as to manage and improve service processes. As such both end-user to IT communications and internal IT communications take place through a service desk.
Purpose of Service Desk Software?
The purpose of service desk software or IT help desk is to automate as many of the common functions of a service desk as possible in order to streamline those processes.
These might include problem management, change management, Asset/ CMDB – configuration management, release management, security management, service level management and availability management.
