Processes
Service Desk Process
As a single point of contact, the Service Desk extends the range of services and offers a more global-focused approach, allowing business processes to be integrated into the Service Management infrastructure. It not only handles Incidents, Problems and Questions, but also provides an interface for other activities such as Customer Change Requests, Maintenance Contracts, Service Level Management, Configuration Management and IT Service Continuity Management.

Incident Management
The primary goal of the Incident Management process is to restore normal service operation as quickly as possible and minimize the adverse impact on business operations, thus ensuring that the best possible levels of service quality and availability are maintained. 'Normal Service Operation' is defined here as service operation within Service Level Agreement (SLA) limits.

Problem Management
The goal of Problem Management is to minimize the adverse impact of Incidents and Problems on the business that are caused by errors within the IT Infrastructure and to prevent recurrence of Incidents related to these errors. In order to achieve this goal, Problem Management seeks to get to the root cause of Incidents and then initiate actions to improve or correct the situation. The Problem Management process has both reactive and proactive aspects.

Change Management
Changes arise as a result of Problems, but many changes can come from proactively seeking business benefits such as reducing costs or improving services. The goal of the Change Management Process is to ensure that standardized methods and procedures are used for efficient and prompt handling of all changes, in order to minimize the impact of change-related incidents upon service quality, and consequently to improve the
day-to-day operations of the organization.

Configuration Management
Businesses require quality IT services provided economically. To be efficient and effective, all organizations need to control their IT infrastructure and services. Configuration Management provides a al model of the infrastructure or a service by identifying, controlling, maintaining and verifying the versions of Configuration Items in existence.
