3 Definitions According to ITIL, the definition of a Service Desk is: The Single Point Of Contact (SPOC) between users and IT Service Management. Another definition of Service Desk is a centre that provides a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) between a company s customers, employees and business partners. In essence, the Service Desk is designed to optimize services on behalf of the business and oversee IT functions. Kindly note that while it is imperative that the Service Desk MUST remain the Single Point Of Contact (SPOC), is does not necessarily have to be the First Point Of Contact (FPOC). Also, "User" refers to the actual user of the service, while "Customer" refers to the entity that is paying for service. 3
