This has resulted in:
- End users calling the wrong Service Desk, requiring the call tobe redirected to the appropriate group
- Inconsistency in the categorization and classification ofservice requests, incidents and problems, causing confusionand frustration when there are multiple IT departmentsinvolved
- Known Errors being recorded internally within the various ITdepartments, which may in fact have a wider impact on thewhole organization when these are not visible to everyone
