Disclosed are methods and systems to automatically integrate work requests from multiple Spoke systems at a centralized Hub system. In one embodiment, a Hub system receives a portion of a work request from a problem tracking system executing in the region (e.g., geographic area or network subnet) of an associated Spoke system. The request comprises enough information for the Hub system to prioritize this work request against other work requests already received from this same Spoke system, other Spoke systems in the same region, or even other Spoke systems from other regions. A Hub user can then be presented with an integrated work queue of requests to service after they have been properly prioritized. The Hub user may be supporting multiple clients in an outsourcing style Information Technology (IT) support model or a call center model. Supported clients can execute on different data center platforms, at the same time.
