In practice, however, they often work in separate worlds. The customer in their own ITSM tool, the MSP in their own TOPdesk environment. Without proper alignment, this inevitably leads to duplicate work, higher costs, and a loss of control.   <\/p><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">The solution does not lie in forcing a single system, but in creating an integrated service chain, where both parties continue to work in their own ITSM tool while processes, tickets, and statuses are automatically connected.<\/p><h3 class=\"article-editor-heading\"><strong>The hidden costs of non-integrated collaboration<\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">Many MSPs recognize this pattern:<\/p><ul class=\"article-editor-bullet-list\"><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">Tickets are manually transferred or forwarded<\/p><\/li><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">Status updates are copied between systems<\/p><\/li><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">SLA agreements are difficult to monitor across the chain<\/p><\/li><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">Reporting requires additional consolidation<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">What is often less visible, but weighs at least as heavily, are the financial and administrative consequences of the ITSM licensing model.<\/p><h3 class=\"article-editor-heading\"><strong>Duplicate licenses and duplicate users<\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">Due to the business model of many ITSM vendors, including TOPdesk, this situation quickly arises without integration:<\/p><ul class=\"article-editor-bullet-list\"><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">Customer administrators must be registered as operators in the MSP&#8217;s TOPdesk environment<\/p><\/li><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">Those same individuals are also operators in the customer&#8217;s own ITSM environment<\/p><\/li><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">Both environments require separate licenses<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">The result:<\/p><ul class=\"article-editor-bullet-list\"><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">double licensing costs<\/p><\/li><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">additional user management<\/p><\/li><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">increased complexity during offboarding and audits<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">For MSPs with multiple customers or co-managed IT models, this adds up quickly.<\/p><h3 class=\"article-editor-heading\"><strong>One chain, without duplicate accounts<\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">In an integrated service chain, this is not necessary.<\/p><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">By synchronizing incidents, service requests, and changes system-to-system:<\/p><ul class=\"article-editor-bullet-list\"><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">Customers continue to work in their own TOPdesk, Ultimo, or Freshworks environment<\/p><\/li><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">MSP teams work exclusively in their own TOPdesk<\/p><\/li><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">Tickets are automatically created, updated, and closed<\/p><\/li><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">There is no need to register users twice<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">Collaboration happens at the process level, not through shared accounts.<\/p><h3 class=\"article-editor-heading\"><strong>Not just TOPdesk: also Ultimo and Freshworks<\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">This chain model is widely applicable.<\/p><ul class=\"article-editor-bullet-list\"><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">TOPdesk \u2194 TOPdesk for MSPs and customers who both use TOPdesk<\/p><\/li><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">TOPdesk \u2194 Ultimo, including an existing connection via the TOPdesk Marketplace<\/p><\/li><li class=\"article-editor-list-item\"><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">TOPdesk \u2194 Freshworks, ideal for MSPs with a diverse customer portfolio<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">This creates one consistent service chain across IT, facility, and support, without parties having to abandon their own tooling.<\/p><h3 class=\"article-editor-heading\"><strong>Why service automation makes the difference<\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"article-editor-paragraph\">Integration alone is not enough.
