Sorry if this has already been asked but I haven't been able to find anything. I was hoping to get some feedback/discussion/ideas on best practices for fulfilling service requests - specifically when they can't be fulfilled by the service desk and are handed off to a different group.
We aren't using an official service desk software system right now which is part of the problem. Currently, a request comes in and a ticket is created. Depending on what it is, it then has to go through a couple of approval/review steps and then to IT/OPs group for estimation and fulfillment. It then goes back to the Service Desk.
The problem is what to do when it is handed off? If we assign the ticket to one of these different groups, the Service Desk team loses visibility of it.


Anything you can provide is greatly appreciated.
