software? If not, it&#8217;s time to discover the advantages of having a service desk.<\/p>\n<p>The service desk acts as a single point of contact between ICT services and users, where they can submit enquiries, log incidents, obtain help and request change. The terms \u2018service desk\u2019 and \u2018single point of contact\u2019 are often used interchangeably, so we need to be clear about what is meant by a service desk:<\/p>\n<p>A single point of contact can be a notepad, a telephone number, an email address, a person or a computer system. It is simply one point where all requests for technical support help are recorded.<\/p>\n<p>The service desk normally implies that a person \u2013 who may be a technician or admin person \u2013 is present at the single point of contact to receive the support request. It not only handles incidents, problems and questions but also provides an interface to users.<\/p>\n<p>The principal responsibility of the service desk is to enable communication with users, enable actions to resolve events affecting the use of computer systems and to collate information in a single place.<\/p>\n<p>AimThe aim of this section is to introduce the topic of the service desk and to help you implement the process in your school with a minimum of preparation and training.<\/p>\n<p>ObjectivesThe objectives of this section are to enable you to:<\/p>\n<p>understand the role of the service desk in an ICT support structureunderstand the benefits of a service desk in an educational establishmentbe able to articulate the different types of service deskunderstand the functions of the service deskunderstand the roles and responsibilities in service deskunderstand the relationships between service desk and other FITS processes<\/p>\n<p>StructureThe Service Desk material is arranged in the following sections.
