Vendor Landscape: Enterprise Service Desk
Move past tickets to proactive, integrated service
As the market evolves, capabilities that were once cutting edge become default and new functionality becomes differentiating. Basic self-serve and a knowledgebase
have become Table Stakes capabilities and should no longer be used to differentiate solutions. Instead focus on more advanced self-serve, such as service catalogs to
get the best fit for your requirements.
Most help desks have grown organically over the last few decades as organizations moved to desktop computing and they developed a need to manage a growing
number of incidents and requests. As dependency on individual computing requirements has grown and systems have become more complex, ticket volumes increase
and the number of technicians required to support an organization make the need for ticket tracking more important.
As support services have become more complex due to sophistication of applications and integration of multiple systems, a focus has moved from basic ticket tracking
to a more formalized, ITIL compliant, proactive approach.
Each vendor offers similar functionality.
At a high level, the enterprise class service desk solutions offer the same functionality. Look more granularly to ensure best fit.
Integration with multiple tools.
While more value can often be seen by leveraging integrated modules rather than multi-vendor solutions, there are times when a business case cannot be made for
replacing working solutions. In those cases, look to seamless integrations through APIs that enable two-way communications between solutions.
Configuration and customization can make or break a solution.
Look closely at configuration and customization options, with an eye to matching skills required to skills available. Ensure customization will not hinder product
upgrades and ability to create reports.
Enterprise clients have recognized the need to integrate more applications and systems with workflows for end to end process efficiencies and information sharing.
Self-serve needs are moving beyond ticket creation and status updates to service catalogs and knowledgebases for those users who are interested in self-solving their
issues. The companies that are addressing these needs will be in a much stronger position as organizations are looking to catch up to their users demands.
Further utilization of service desk tools to provide the business with multiple ways to communicate, process requests, use workflows, and gain access to production
data that was previously unavailable to the business is now a reality for many organizations. However, tool customization capabilities need to be balanced with ease of
use in these cases, to ensure IT doesn’t become the bottleneck.
