Operations | Monitoring | ITSM | DevOps | Cloud

One of the most challenging things when writing about DevOps and ITIL is finding the perfect phrases to define both of them. They not only mean different things to different people and organizations but are also implemented & used very differently. Let’s glance through their definitions first.

A year ago, we launched the Orchestration center capability in Freshservice. At that time, little did we know that it would turn into a vital driver of customer delight with over 40 apps in just one year! With new third-party applications joining the Apps Marketplace almost every month, we are set to address an expanding range of business needs with an extensible solution that perfectly integrates with the organization’s ecosystem.

Traditional IT service management solutions often fall short when it comes to innovation. While legacy systems are tailor-made to perform one or two functions well today’s service management solutions need to perform beyond these boundaries. Especially, since the pandemic has just ushered in a new era of service management, one that is filled with new challenges.

The past couple of years has radically transformed nearly every aspect of our world. Living through a global pandemic has brought about paradigm shifts in how companies operate and how people live. While industries coped with varying degrees of uncertainty, digital transformation became the focal point of information technology as it determined enterprises’ success.

Of the many challenges IT leaders grabble with in 2022, it’s the challenge of keeping systems up and running and employees delighted that keeps most IT leaders up at night. And at the same time, IT service desks are inundated with service requests while IT operations face disruption after disruption, further reiterating that uninterrupted IT services and operations are vital for today’s businesses to thrive and grow in hyper-scale environments.

Project management is a growing field, it helps teams to organize and keep track of work, so projects can be executed successfully. It includes initiating, planning, executing, controlling/monitoring, and closing the project. So, the question is, is there one specific approach that we can use for effective project management? Definitely, not! Each project is unique and it would be impossible to employ a one-size-fits-all approach.

I waxed eloquently about the importance of IT in today’s business world in my previous blog post. So, I’ll put a lid on that (for now) and rather show you how to shape IT into an unstoppable force that powers your business in 2022 and beyond. Read away.
