HDI conducts comprehensive annual research on almost every aspect of the service desk, from hiring, staffing, and salaries to metrics, frameworks, and technologies. This webinar will explore not only the statistics around the service desk, but what they mean in terms of industry trends and changes. How successful has the “do more with less” approach been? Are service desks hiring, or reducing staff? Is the workload shrinking or growing? What are the top metrics being gathered, and what do they mean?

Attendees will learn:

- What do service desks consider “must-have” technologies for supporting customers/users?
- What contact channels are being used by customers to get support and request services?
- What percentage of organizations are hiring for expansion of the service desk?
- Which frameworks and methodologies are being used?
- What are some areas where improvement is needed?

Mark O' Loughling of Cloud Credential Council looks at ITSM and Digital Transformation

A look at ITSM and Digital Transformation with Simon Dorst and Michelle Major-Goldsmith.

If we didn’t have IT service management, we’d be in a right mess. But how do you identify and articulate the benefits of ITSM in terms that business people understand?

Starting with familiar ITSM notions such as utility and warranty, this talk explores how these relate to tangible business benefits such as more sales, higher prices, and lower costs and risks. Is ITSM just about keeping the lights on, and is it just as difficult to relate ITSM effort to business benefits as it is to say how much the cleaner’s broom contributed to last month‘s sales? This talk lets you decide for yourself.

ITIL 4 includes seven guiding principles, which can help you to make decisions and deliver great services to your customers.

Self-Service ITSM portals are the corner stone to reducing overhead costs, promote fast tracks to customers for resolving issues, and reducing ticket volumes. It’s not that simple. Self-Service doesn’t mean cheaper and easier. Join Beverly as she discusses the benefits and drawbacks to Self Service and exploring the concept of A LA Carte options to Self-Service solutions!

One of the most important objectives of IT service management is to deliver valuable services to the business. This can be achieved by breaking down traditional silos and applying standardized processes across the organization. However, demonstrating the effectiveness of service delivery with process measurements can be a challenge.

Join moderator Elisabeth Thomas and global ITSM experts as they discuss best practices for defining critical process measurements that encourage continual service improvement in order to ensure an effective, efficient, and profitable ITSM strategy.
