IT Service Desk Proving to be ...EasyVista Inc., a leading provider of service management for IT organizations, announced the IT service desk has become the on-ramp for the evolving Digital Workplace. A surge of adoption among EasyVista customers’ employees indicates the service desk is taking on a more strategic role in the enterprise—expanding from IT support to the face of employee service. In just the past year, the ratio of EasyVista’s six million total users shifted from 97% IT support professionals and 3% employees to 80% IT professionals and 20% employees, illustrating the growing importance of mobility and usability to the employee service experience.
“As the digital workplace goes mainstream—and our definition of work shifts from a place you go to something you access when and wherever you like—it is transforming employees’ expectations for service,” said Jamal Labed, Co-Founder and COO, EasyVista. “We are pleased to offer the most relevant ITSM solution built to enable the Digital Workplace for our customers that are increasingly making that shift.”
EasyVista’s customer base of more than 1,000 enterprises increasingly views the IT service desk as a natural center of gravity for this experience. “Companies are facing a deluge of technology available across every business unit,” said Kevin Coppins, General Manager Americas, EasyVista. “The service desk has become an employee ‘concierge’ of sorts, where employees have easy access to all kinds of services.” This includes HR benefits, payroll information, facilities services, hardware and software tracking, and more.
“Digital workplace leaders should understand the needs of employees to help focus digital workplace priorities, include non-IT business units in digital workplace planning and execution, and make the service desk one of the focal points of the digital workplace,” wrote Gartner analysts Matt Cain, VP Distinguished Analyst, and Paul Miller, Managing VP, Gartner.*
