Service Management
The effects of poor Service Management can be felt well beyond the walls of your IT Department. Your customers, both internal and external, rely on you to provide proper levels of service across all
areas of IT. Increasing the dependability of your services will transform your organization and allow those
services to fade into the background; allowing your customers to assume that your services are always
available. Efficient and reliable Service Management not only means that your services will work more often,
but also that you are able to respond more quickly when they don’t.
