HDI's annual Practices Survey is the definitive resource for trending and statistical information for help desk and support center managers, as well as for the vendors who serve the support community.

In 2006, HDI collected and reported on survey data from 1,141 respondents. HDI’s report archives date back to 1998.

“We invite the industry to help us create this important tool for the IT service and support industry,” said Rich Hand, executive director, membership, HDI. “The study is a beneficial resource for help desk and IT service and support center managers and leaders.”
