TORONTO, August 13, 2019 – SoftwareReviews, a division of world-class IT research and advisory firm Info-Tech Research Group Inc., has published its 2019  IT Service Management (ITSM)  Emotional Footprint Awards, naming seven medalists in the space: 

 

·         Agiloft Service Desk 

·         C2 ATOM 

·         IBM Control Desk 

·         TeamDynamix ITSM 

·         Ivanti IT Service Management 

·         Cherwell ITSM 

·         OmniTracker 

 

ITSM solutions optimize IT departments by helping process, manage and deploy sufficient support for requests. The features associated with the vendors in the category create the backbone of IT departments. They are utilized to design, plan, deliver, operate, and control information technology services offered to customers. 

 

“Besieged managers often think a new tool will solve all of their problems. Buy the right tool, customize it to a magic set of specifications, and tickets will be prioritized, incidents resolved, and service requests fulfilled. Unfortunately, the outcome is often ad hoc changes that complicate upgrades, increase support cost, and fail to get the service desk out of firefighter mode. Tool customization isn’t the answer. Implementing an ITSM tool can cement organizational change and improve the performance of the service desk, but it’s the time spent standardizing service desk processes that makes the difference, not the customizations,” states Sandi Conrad, Senior Director, Infrastructure Practice Info-Tech Research Group. “The key to a successful ITSM tool implementation is to understand that it actually involves two projects: the first standardizes service desk processes, and the second configures the tool to meet those processes. If you follow this approach, you’re less likely to get lost in the details of the implementation and lose sight of what you’re trying to achieve.” 

 

The indicators separating the Emotional Footprint Champions from others in the category are the exceptional scores in service experience, conflict resolution, negotiation and contract, strategy innovation and product impact.
