Implementing an ITIL-ready, automated and fully integrated service management solution
A successful Service Desk should be aligned with business processes, improve user satisfaction and productivity, optimize the organization from the inside out, and serve as a single point of contact between a company’s customers, employees and business partners.
More importantly, the Service Desk should be a key part of a completely integrated IT systems management strategy.
Attend this informative webinar as Chris Brand (IT Director, Fairfield School District, CT) demonstrates how he has transformed his reduced staff into a process driven IT department through an integrated service management solution. .
The main benefits of implementing an effective Service Desk include:
· Reducing costs by ensuring efficient allocation of resources
· Better user care, leading to greater satisfaction and productivity
· Alignment of IT and business goals and increased return on investment (ROI)
· Centralizing of processes improving communication and information management
· Proactive service support and fast incident resolution

Automating recurring IT tasksPatch UpdatesStandardization of ProcessesEveryone is always being tasked to do more with less. As complexity increases with systems, rules and regulations it becomes difficult to automate much of the daily tasks to ensure the overall health, wellness and security. Kaseya is all about automation, which can mean many things… one of which is applying one thing to many machines, Like Patch. Patch management example of automating deployment based on policy across all machines, handling file downloads centrally and dealing with reboots in a way that doesn’t impact users.By using a policy based approach to important tasks such as deployment and security we can ensure consistency of approach to minimize network and user impact. Auomated systems run the process directly on the machines so they can be done out of hours or even while users are working without disturbing them.Jonathan:How has a systems management solution like Kaseya allowed you to automate the management of deployment such as patches and everything that comes along with that like rebooting machines, or making sure the right machines get the right patches?
