IT Service Desk Starter

A simple service desk for a small IT team. Log incidents when something breaks, take service requests from a catalog or by free text, and move each ticket from new to resolved to closed without a heavyweight tool. Turn on a knowledge base so common answers get written once and reused, a request catalog so people ask for the right things, and SLA clocks so nothing sits too long, each when you are ready. Start with just tickets and grow into the rest as your team and your process mature. Built for IT teams that want ticketing and self-service without standing up a full enterprise service-management suite.
