Everyday service desk operations are constantly producing an abundance of meaningful information. When used smartly, it offers a wealth of opportunities for optimizing processes. Typically, IT Service Management (ITSM) software comes with built-in analytics that cover most of the necessities for a help desk manager. However, there are some cases where they might need to cross-reference multiple databases, some inside the tool and others outside it.

Virtual machines (VMs) located on cloud instances allow organizations to run diverse workloads on a shared physical server, optimizing resource utilization and adaptability.
