Proactive Service Desk for today’s complex infrastructures
Implementing a proactive Service Desk is a key part of an effective ITSM strategy. Combining the optimal service desk system – for your organizational needs – with skilled resources, ensures day-to-day operations run more smoothly, users get timely support and IT issues are resolved quickly and effectively.
In today’s multi-sourcing environments, a central Service Desk with a single point of contact (SPOC) for users is essential. A central Service Desk with high domain knowledge is also able to handle more complex issues. This leads to faster lead times and higher customer satisfaction.
Unless you have a dedicated team of service desk experts, outsourcing operations will deliver efficiencies in day-to-day operations, facilitate business, and enable you to focus on core activities.
At Ductus we manage the Service Desk for public and private organizations both on-prem and off-prem from our offices around Sweden.
We can help you in several ways:

Scoping your Service Desk needs
We analyze the organization’s needs and identify the necessary steps to meet them. Using our Service Desk Readiness Assessment we perform a GAP-analysis regarding vision, status and goals. We then develop a clear and achievable roadmap for a proactive Service Desk.
A Service Desk Readiness Assessment covers:
- Business & Operative objectives
- ITSM strategy
- Existing contracts and SLAs
- Governance models
- Collaboration model
- Service Desk delivery model
- Current tools and support setup
- Service integration and management
- Roles and responsibilities
- Best practice processes
- Recommendations
With the analysis complete we then recommend the ideal Service Desk for your needs including the necessary features and requirements.
