Almost all organizations have challenges, particularly in providing services in a consistent manner for all employees and customers using them to be productive in their jobs. Usually, individual service departments are set up to provide these services. Each department, however, has different methods and ways to request services, and the processes for tracking and communicating with the original requesters are often manual and cumbersome.
