Serving and Supporting New Ways of Working Better

So much has happened socially and in the workplace in the last few years. As a result, various factors have changed the corporate demands on IT service management (ITSM). There’s the increased corporate reliance on technology, new ways of working (usually based on digital transformation, which increases the dependence on technology even more), the need to reduce costs, and higher employee expectations of IT service delivery and support.

Aligning ITAM with Corporate Asset Management Needs

IT asset management (ITAM) is an increasingly popular IT management discipline, with 2022 Axelos research data showing that ITAM is the seventh most adopted IT service management (ITSM) capability (ITAM was added to ITIL in ITIL 4): But it’s such a wide-ranging IT management capability that it can be challenging to understand where to start and how to ensure that initial ITAM investments deliver sufficient benefits to engender future ITAM growth.

How Best to Select a New ITSM Tool

Much has changed in the world of IT service management (ITSM) over the last few years, and your organisation has likely wondered whether its existing toolset (which might be a “homegrown” ITSM tool) is still fit for purpose. It would not be alone if this were the case, and if so, ITSM tool selection can seem pretty daunting, especially if it’s not that long since the current tool was selected.

What We Learned About ITSM in 2022
