Explanation
A ticketing system (help desk platform such as ServiceNow, Zendesk, or Jira Service Management) is the industry-standard solution for managing high volumes of IT support requests. It enables tracking, prioritization, assignment, escalation, SLA enforcement, and reporting - all essential when volume is overwhelming a team. A support portal (A) helps users submit requests but is a frontend for a ticketing system, not a replacement. An automated callback system (C) only addresses phone communication, not the underlying request management problem. Submitting tickets through email (D) is unstructured, difficult to prioritize, and prone to requests being lost - it does not solve a volume management problem.
