The IT service desk facilitates communication between other service managers and the user community (usually employees and other stakeholders of the organization).

The Different Types of Service Desks: Local and Centralized

A ticket represents a technical problem and encompasses what the user is having trouble with. The ITSM Service Desk manages these tickets. Currently, there are essentially four types of service desks:

  • Local Service Desk: The Local Service Desk serves the needs of small businesses. The location is on or near the company premises. However, it cannot handle a large number of service requests or calls.
  • Centralized service desk: Combining multiple local service desks into one, this ITSM service desk can handle multiple operations with few workforce members
  • Virtual Service Desk: This is the most common type of service desk. A single central service desk handles all tickets from different locations. 
  • Follow the Sun: A single central service desk handles all tickets from different locations.
