A universal service desk (USD) is the central point of contact between a service provider and users for everyday activities, and within an organisation for all requests for and enquiries about the services provided to customers, both internal and external.
The USD is a concept of service delivery and resolution through different channels (Internet, post, intranet, phone, email, physical counter). It also covers account management and its focus on customer relationships at different levels in the organisation.
The Universal Service Desk (USD) – Implementing, controlling and improving service delivery defines what a USD is, why it is valuable to an organisation and how to build and implement one. This practical guide gives advice about:
- The use of software tools;
- Service sites;
- Self-service;
- Call centre functionality;
- Account management;
- Processes between the USD and back office;
- Quality management;
- Competence management;
- Capabilities; and
- The service catalogue.
It also discusses the evolution of the USD as part of integrated workplace management.
This book is ideal for those working in service management and the service desk industry, from managers to employees, and can also be used by students to understand all the components that relate to a USD.

He has written a number of books on ITIL®, the software life cycle and the role of IT in business. When he isn’t working or writing, Brian’s passion is playing football.
Léon-Paul de Rouw studied technical management and organisation sociology. He worked for several years as a consultant and researcher in the private sector. Since 2003, he has been a programme manager with the central government in the Netherlands. He is responsible for all types of projects and programmes that focus on IT and business (outsourcing, implementation and change).
Currently, he is the project manager for a multi-million euro project on the nationwide implementation of IT-driven business services.
In general, his interests include policy development, innovation, design and implementation, and management, mostly in the field of IT. Because of this, in addition to his professional career, he also writes, teaches, consults and delivers workshops and masterclasses.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
