Enterprise Service Management

With the rise in popularity of on-demand, accessible service delivery and the resulting change in customer expectations, businesses are pressed to rethink the ways they provide and consume services internally.

IT Departments have long relied on Service Management principles such as ITIL to deliver better services and user experiences to their customers. Beyond IT, many business divisions have come to realise the benefits of adopting established IT Service Management (ITSM) best practice to drive value across the entire enterprise.

By adopting an Enterprise Service Management (ESM) approach, as opposed to a more parochial IT Service Management focus, organisations can extend service management theories and principles into other core business functions.

The Benefits of Enterprise Service Management

There are a great many advantages to implementing an Enterprise Service Management approach across the business.

Extending Service Management principles beyond the IT domain can:

• Improve efficiency and reduce operational costs
• Reduce point solutions and improve ROI on ITSM tools
• Drive self-service efficiency
• Improve cross-departmental collaboration
• Optimise workload management
• Allow for a better understanding of what services are needed and provided
• Improve accountability across business function boundaries
• Allow for better governance and control
• Increase customer satisfaction
• Increase process efficiency within service domains
• Enhance reporting and analytics capabilities
• Improve integration capabilities
