Service management needs to change. The philosophies and understanding that gave way to the original concept of ITSM have been overtaken by time and perspective, rendering them outdated and leaving IT managers grasping with how to move forward.

With the widespread adoption of cloud technology, data centers play a huge role in running key applications and business processes for organizations around the world. In 2022, the IT spending on data centers is expected to be $227 billion, and $237 billion by 2023. To run these datacenters profitably and deliver quality service to their customers, organizations are constantly trying to squeeze out maximum performance from the hardware.

The COVID-19 crisis has changed the way we live and work forever. It’s been a rough few years and one of the things that we’re still not sure of is its full impact on mental health. So many IT professionals went to extreme and heroic lengths to keep systems up and running during the pandemic.

“Expect the best but prepare for the worst” is more than a cliché; it's solid operational advice. And that’s why the incident management software you choose will spell the difference between things running smoothly after a hiccup, or you scrambling to get everything back together after it goes down in flames. Time, money, effort, and resources should be spent where they belong: keeping things chugging along and improving constantly.

Do you know how to improve project transparency? ‍ If you are trying to unlock higher levels of team productivity, you need to consider project transparency. When it comes to pushing projects forward and making progress, all key stakeholders must have access to the information they need to effectively complete tasks.

Change can be scary. There's no denying that. And when a company’s entire infrastructure is at play, even more so. Whether you’ve just decided to take your company to the next level by unifying all your teams under the same service desk. or you are looking to transition into a brand new service desk platform, a well organized and smooth implementation process ensures that your foray into this new territory is as hassle-free as possible.

Over time, there’s so much data, not only from your tickets but also your knowledge base, users, and so on. Moreover, the company is comfortable using the software, they know how to navigate and interact with the interface. So, it’s very rational to fear a platform change.
