A USD is the central point of contact between a service provider and users for everyday activities, and within an organization for all requests for and inquiries about the services provided to customers, both internal and external.

The USD is a concept of service delivery and resolution through different channels (Internet, mail , intranet, phone, email, physical counter). It also covers account management and its focus on customer relationships at different levels in the organization.
