IT Service Management and Business Intelligence

Today's complex technology environment makes it imperative to get the most out of your IT Service Management function.

As an IT service management and BI firm, SMA believes that IT managers and other upper management personnel need to regularly review and optimize their operations based on available data from their service management applications. 

IT managers need to be able to pull relevant integrated
data from multiple systems to understand their relationships.

Most IT Service Management/Help Desk systems include standard reports that only provide static information vs. real-time data, that cannot easily be used to make strategic decisions to enhance services or cut costs.  This results in a "reactive" rather than a "proactive" approach to providing support services.

Integrating a best-in-class BI tool with the help desk application will give IT Managers a clear view of IT metrics or key performance indicators that will help them assess things such as recurring issues, workflow, and staffing. It will also provide the "bigger picture" of trends and where resources are allocated.

IT managers need to be able to manipulate interactive dashboards
in real-time to plan strategies for change and understand the impact
of the changes.

Dynamic interactive dashboards for IT allow managers to conduct "what-if" analysis, adjust metrics, make strategic decisions and measure changes.

A business intelligence solution for IT Service Management
needs to have easily shared reports.

Sharing the reports and information with management and trusted business users is key, and the interactive dashboards make that possible. The information is visual and easy to understand.  Their interactive nature make presentations interesting and engaging.
