Modern businesses must offer essential services and support to internal and external clients and employees to run efficiently. Unfortunately, not all service requests are easy to understand. Employees might need additional direction from the service provider and expectations about the caliber of service they can expect to use the service offered fully.
Service request management, a crucial element of the ITIL framework, aims to highlight critical service request data, create customer expectations, and efficiently handle employee-initiated service requests. To manage service requests, a user must submit a request for anything new, such as access to a service, a new phone, or information.
What is a Service Request Management?
A formal request for assistance is referred to as a service request. These requests are made by employees, clients, or suppliers to a service team, such as IT or HR, which then gives a list of preset services that are within their purview for them to handle. Employees can submit a service request for the following services, for instance, that your IT staff might offer:
- Request for new hardware or software
- Requests for password resets
- Requests for access
Maintaining team productivity and ensuring corporate success depends on efficiently administering service requests. Service request management refers to the techniques and equipment that enable all organizational divisions (such as compliance, IT, marketing, finance, and human resources) to accept, monitor, address, and conclude a range of service requests from clients, staff members, and outside vendors.
Your team can provide exceptional service even when there are many service requests by establishing a set service request management method. It facilitates your ability to:
- Manage and improve the way your staff responds to service inquiries.
- Assign requests to the appropriate team member, quickly triage, and document them.
- Confirm that employees are satisfied with the assistance they receive by following up on service requests.
- Ensure that your staff is aware of requests by protecting their bandwidth.
- Use a service catalog, which lists the services provided, to standardize requests.
- Keeping track of service requests from submission to resolution so you can observe what work is being done and how quickly your staff responds to inquiries.
