CHALLENGE
The customers IT department demand had risen even faster than the growth rate driven by a number of new healthcare technologies and rising compliance and accountability demands.
Challenged by an old, complex and manual IT service/demand management solution, IT was failing to keep up with demand, with serious consequences.
-
- Security and access requests were overwhelming them and their system, causing mistakes in provisioning.
- They could not audit or account for who had system access or match access rights to systems effectively, causing significant compliance and security risk.
- Service quality was deteriorating rapidly due to the volume of demand.
IT saw the need for a modern IT Service Management solution to provide:
-
- A user-friendly interface
A means to aggregate and manage demand “as a service” - The ability to reduce volume and improve service quality through self-service and service automation
- A user-friendly interface
DX Digital technologies worked with the IT teams to understand their business requirements, with time being a factor we used our Agile approach to rapidly implement ServiceNow as the strategic platform to enable their digitization journey.
