Features
With the server installed on any Windows PC and utilising Microsoft SQL Server technology, you can access NetSupport ServiceDesk through a web browser from your desktop or mobile device, helping to minimise the amount of system downtime whilst providing effective support for all users of IT assets.
Suited to any type of organisation, regardless of its size, NetSupport ServiceDesk supports the key areas of ITIL’s best practice framework: Incident, Problem, Change and Service Level Management.
