Understanding the
Global Enterprise
The challenge for many global enterprises today is establishing the
best way to link their service desk services with their enterprise
technology and business strategy, anywhere in the world, at any time.
The primary needs of most organizations are simple: faster responses
to resolving their problems, a personal touch to their service, and
cost-effective solutions that can be quickly and easily implemented
along with successful, ongoing delivery. Businesses also require 24x7
support across all time zones and a consistent service experience for
all users, regardless of when and where a service call is placed.
