ITXM Summit

This webinar discusses human-centric IT experience management and its importance in understanding how employees feel about IT services.

Join our webinar and discover the latest IT experience benchmarks & insights!

The latest edition of our Global IT Experience Benchmark Report is available at happysignals.com/report. The data in this full-year 2023 report is based on 1.86 million end-user responses from 130+ countries.

Within it, we examine happiness and perceived time loss among various industries, company sizes, and service desks (internal vs. outsourced), as well as global variations in IT support profiles.

Key findings in the report:

- Finance & insurance is the industry with the happiest end-users who lose the least time.
- The larger the organization, the more time end-users perceive losing per incident.
- Support Profile distribution varies a lot between geographical regions.
- For the first time, remote work satisfaction surpasses IT service satisfaction, indicating strong end-user appreciation for remote work capabilities and benefits.

The HappySignals IT Experience Benchmark tells the story of internal end-users’ experiences with IT from a human perspective and identifies how people feel about IT across different IT touchpoints. Every response in the data represents a real person relying on IT to do their daily work in large enterprises.

• Want to improve business productivity and happiness with no idea where to start? 

Join us for a full introduction to human-centric IT experience management and how it will help you to gain happier end users, improve decision-making, and increase productivity. This webinar discusses human-centric IT experience management and its importance in understanding how employees feel about IT services.

There's plenty of discussion about experience level agreements (XLAs) but very little practical guidance for IT service leaders on how to incorporate XLAs into their outsourcing agreements. For years, this topic has sparked ongoing debate and confusion among industry professionals. That's why HappySignals and Bright Horse teamed up to develop recommendations and best practices. Hear about real customer examples and gain practical advice and valuable learnings to transform your outsourcing strategy.

1.  Learn what a contracted XLA looks like 
2.  Understand the contractual governance differences with XLAs and traditional metrics
3.  Learn the options for contracting XLAs alongside the recommended approach 
4.  Learn how best to manage penalties/rewards

How to Incorporate XLAs into Outsourcing Agreements

If you’re an IT leader or service owner who needs to deliver great IT experiences to end-users in 2023, you must start making informed improvement decisions based on experience data. Instead of relying on the loudest voice or a gut feeling, tap into experience data to understand the current issues and costs of IT services. This enables you to confidently make decisions that will bring long-term business value.

In this session, Sakari Kyrö will explore how Experience Data can be used for optimal IT organization decision-making. Through harnessing this data, our customers have been able to not only identify service desk problems and their root causes but also strategically align improvement investments with what's important most - allowing them to demonstrate the worth of their IT services in terms of business results.

Presentation key takeaways:
1.  Examples of how experience data and insights have unearthed employee issues (with IT support) and improvement opportunities that went unnoticed with traditional IT metrics
2.  Real-world examples of how experience management has improved IT service desk operations and business outcomes in other organisations
3.  How to use ITXM Framework to get started with experience management.

How Does IT Experience Management Drive Better Decision Making?

If you want to get the attention of senior executives in any organization, show them the money. How does money flow through the organization? Where is value added and lost? Those indirect costs are tough to pin down, but they're there - and you can find them.

Traditional IT support metrics have been focused on IT itself, producing what many call inside-out thinking and vision. These days, businesses mistakenly believe that cutting IT spending is good and doing more with less saves money. But we can't improve what we don't measure, right?

Join our webinar "Measurement, Management and Money" with Roy Atkinson, CEO at Clifton Butterfield, on Tuesday 20th June at 8 AM PT |10 AM CT | 11 AM ET | 4 PM BST. 

You will learn:

- The staggering costs of lost productivity we do not see
- How siloed thinking limits our visibility into spending
- How ITXM™can help break down silos and gain better understanding of spending 

Join us online! See you there.
