Use Cases and Deployment Scope
TOPdesk is mostly used by my customers within several market types like Health, IT, Telecom. The last couple of years I’ve seen the struggle that most health organizations have with their service management processes. Using a TOPdesk configuration that actually works effectively in relation to the organization processes. Most of the health organizations I’ve seen do not take the time to determine their SR needs and just start with a TOPdesk configuration and don’t evaluate enough to adjust their processes.
Pros
Knowlegde items are greate
Overall TOPdesk as Servicemanagement tool
Cons
Motivate customers to not just start but do an indekt analysis which might take more time but in the long run is much more efficient for the organisation
Continiously check with customers to see how they are developing
Return on Investment
Organisation is getting used to fixed TOPdesk relaxed processes
Alternatives Considered

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use TOPdesk as both a ticket management and asset management system. The problem is that we only have two Functioneel Beheerders at ICT for this application, and they have only limited knowledge. There is no focus on building it bigger and better. I would like the organization to focus on the TOPdesk Selfserviceportal, on how people submit their questions or problems. Not by e-mail.
Pros
How to register a ticket.
How to register a change.
Single Sign On.
Cons
More options in my request to filter, like date, sub categories, etc.
Parent child relegations and how you want it to view.
AI tool in Selfserviceportal.
Return on Investment
One place for tickets.
Prioritizing
SLA

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It's our main ticketing and time registration tool for the helpdesk. It was very customizable to our needs which we appreciated a lot since we had 1st, 2nd, 3rd line support and a separate offsite helpdesk team as well. With the templates and saved messages we could escalate tickets very easily and this saved us a lot of time. We could easily make a new project and start booking time on it and afterwords used some reporting to report it to management. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a tool that just works and does what it needs to do.
Pros
Customization
Project management
Ticketing flow
Time registration
Cons
Out of the box experience might be too basic for some advanced users
Return on Investment
Cost saving with all of the features TOPdesk has provided
Vastly improved efficiency compared to our previous tool (over 30%)
Much faster resolution and response times to our end users
