Creating Extraordinary IT Service Delivery Opportunities in Unprecedented Times
With the COVID-19 Pandemic creating what we ubiquitously refer to as, “unprecedented times”, we have also been presented with extraordinary opportunities. The silver lining for many service management and IT teams is that the value we provide is increasingly relied on as remote work, digital transformation, and enterprise service management become the norm.
In this panel, we will hear from some of EasyVista’s customers as they share their own experiences and the amazing, innovative, things they have been able to create. This session will provide both a first-look at some of the things EasyVista customers have created, as well as insight into how they were able to use the platform to rapidly deploy these solutions to help their company reduce friction and maintain productivity.

During the current pandemic, companies and organizations have been acting fast to get people working productively from home or other remote locations. The demands for speed and flexibility have put tremendous stress on service desks and technical support centers, which are also dealing with their own departure from familiar offices with ready-access to systems and each other. At the same time, contact volume has increased dramatically as those not normally equipped or trained to work from home are working with systems and tools that are new to them. To lessen the strain on support, organizations need to ramp up self-service and self-help tools as rapidly as possible, while still providing end users with accurate and useful information.
Organizations should consider 3 technologies to enable better self-service:
- Robust self-help to capture and deliver knowledge as well as provide solid metrics about its use
- Omnichannel support to provide knowledge to users wherever they are—in applications, websites, or messaging tools
- Chatbots and/or virtual agents that use Natural Language Processing (NLP) to keep knowledge contextual and provide guided support
According to HDI research, the 10% of organizations that saw a decrease in support contact volume named the top two factors driving the decrease as self-help and the knowledge base.

Automation has been on the roadmap for many IT departments over the past few years, but the coronavirus pandemic accelerated the pace of digital transformation as organizations needed to address the changing work environment. Organizations planning to deploy ITSM automation are eager to realize the benefits that include cost efficiencies, improved IT operational efficiencies and faster incident resolution, but often are uncertain what ITSM processes to target and where to begin.
Join EasyVista’s Product Marketing Director, Bob Rizzo, to learn more about ITSM automation, including:

During the coronavirus pandemic, businesses quickly saw the value in the IT service desk and ITSM software and teams. In many cases, the IT service desk was responsible for helping organizations quickly pivot to remote work, often left to contend with high ticket volume while experiencing challenges in their own work style and balance. Despite the challenges, service desk teams across the world have shown incredible resilience and have proven, in many cases, to be the backbone of the business.
As 2020 comes to a close and we reflect on trends and look to the future, it is clear that in 2021 the service desk will continue to play an important role. It is more important now than ever to align with business goals and focus on tactics that truly empower employees – both on the user/operator side and the end-user side, including service desk employees and customers of the service desk.
Join EasyVista’s Bob Rizzo for this webinar to learn key tactics to empower and enable employees to excel in 2021, including:
• Techniques such as “swarming” to streamline ticket handling, and enhance collaboration
• Leveraging AI technology and automation
• Ways to improve the people-experience in the digital-first era

In the post-COVID-19 “new normal,” there’s a need for IT service desks to quickly adapt to the new ways of working and new employee expectations. There’s also the necessity to focus on costs – reflecting the harsh commercial realities of the crisis.
However, after a decade of cost-cutting, many service desks had evolved their strategies and operations to focus on value rather than cost. Now, it’s important to maintain, or potentially to start, this despite the immediate need to cut costs – with cost optimization the way to do it.
Please join EasyVista and Stephen Mann, of ITSM.tools, for a webinar that shares:
- The four key facilitators of IT service desk cost optimization
- The benefits of focusing on each of these five areas
- Practical tips to help your organization successfully optimize its service desk costs.
