    The Challenge

    IT service management (ITSM) is a strategic approach referring to all the activities performed for an organization to plan, design, provide, operate and manage the information technology (IT) services that are offered to its clients and customers. One of the main ITSM challenge is designing and deploying IT services that support business goals and enhance the efficiency of day-to-day operations to deliver high-quality services and improve customer satisfaction.

    Delivering information technology service excellence enables IT to move from simply supporting the business to helping to innovate and optimize the business. Silos of people, processes, information and technology can create barriers of inefficiency and make it difficult to agree on service priorities. Lack of visibility into critical information and inefficient workflows make it difficult to understand service context.
