An IT helpdesk primarily focuses on addressing immediate technical issues and troubleshooting problems faced by end users. It often deals with tasks like password resets, software installation assistance, and connectivity issues. The goal is to provide quick resolutions to common technical issues.
IT support offers broader assistance, including not only handling day-to-day technical problems but also maintaining systems, managing infrastructure, and supporting more complex IT projects. IT support often involves proactive maintenance, system updates, network management, and long-term strategic planning.
