IT Service Management self-service portals are becoming increasingly popular in the modern workplace. They offer users a convenient way to access IT services without needing to contact the IT support team. Through these portals, users can manage their own accounts, troubleshoot issues, and quickly find answers to their questions.
The advantages of a user-friendly service catalog have been recognized by other service delivery departments, leading to the expansion of self-service portals beyond IT into areas like HR, Facilities, and Finance.
