Neither do they want their departments to be seen as necessary cost centres, as they have often been in the past. But changing people’s minds and proving the true value of IT to the business isn’t easy in the context of: • Rising IT complexity and device diversity, driven by ever more demanding users • The growth in invisible and potentially costly shadow IT • IT staff that are bogged down with heavy administrative and management workloads This white paper explains how a holistic, integrated approach to service management, using modern automation and management tools, enables CIOs to overcome these barriers. The benefits include: • Easier, faster, more efficient and cost-effective service management • Happier, more productive customers and a reduced service management workload • Complete service cost transparency and continuous cost optimisation • Proof of IT ROI to the business Matrix42 Service Management is a best-in-class, fully integrated service management solution, backed by decades of successful service and workspace management experience. It helps today’s CIOs deliver these benefits to their organisations, enabling them to power the transformation of corporate IT departments from necessary cost centres, to business-enabling profit centres.
