What is Enterprise Service Management (ESM)?
Employees in an organisation often have numerous tools at their disposal for asking questions or submitting requests to the organisation's support services. IT, Quality, HR, Facility Management: each department has its own system for handling questions from colleagues. However, it does not make sense for an employee to have to request holiday leave via one tool, report a problem with the Wi-Fi in another way, and use a third channel to have a contract reviewed or signed.
Enterprise Service Management (ESM) makes internal service provision much more logical and brings all internal matters together in a single application. An ESM tool works as a kind of internal help button on the employee's PC, smartphone or tablet, allowing them to ask any questions they may have about the ins and outs of the company.
An Enterprise Service Management tool significantly reduces the administrative burden on an organisation's support departments, allowing them to focus more effectively on their core tasks.
We did have a ticketing system, but it was hardly ever used. When we implemented Xurrent, this changed quickly.
