Empower your IT ecosystem using Enterprise Service Management with DXC and ServiceNow

 

In a world where Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are at the forefront of business strategy, harnessing and interpreting ESG data has become a pivotal driver of success. It's not just about compliance; it's about making informed decisions that impact your organization's sustainability, reputation, and bottom line.

Technology and employees’ expectations of it are constantly evolving. Security and compliance requirements are intensifying. Remote working means employee access to digital services is more important and scrutinized, especially for external users of your services.

Customers expect a seamless user experience when interacting digitally with your services in today's market.

Enterprise Service Management (ESM) is your organization’s route to centralizing this service delivery: Transforming service experiences and increasing operational efficiency.

Understanding Enterprise Service Management (ESM)

ESM is a key tool to accelerate your enterprise’s technology-driven business transformation. While ESM isn’t digital transformation in itself, it helps enable it. How? By applying ITSM practices and benefits to wider business areas:

Human Resources (HR)

  • Legal
  • Facilities
  • Marketing
  • Finance
  • And more

ESM enables all these teams to offer and deliver enterprise services, rapidly and intuitively.  Streamlining, automating, and optimizing workflows across your entire enterprise — for better performance, service delivery, and results.

Service management has shifted from IT-centric to enterprise-wide models. For organizations adjusting to increased remote working, it’s vital to deliver shared services efficiently and cost-effectively.

But this can be tough. Complex, siloed tools and platforms scupper productivity, service delivery, and efficiency, hiking up costs.

ESM is the solution. It helps organizations articulate and consistently offer their services to employees through a unified portal, accessible 24/7. One of ESM’s objectives is to bring internal processes together via an integrated approach.

Several factors have driven ESM’s comprehensive, integrated approach:

  • Shifting manual process work, from in-office to fully digital
  • Impacted employee well-being, creating a shift in working environments
  • Centralizing operating budgets, to reduce costs and maximize productivity
  • Rationalization to maximize control, agility, and savings across your service management tooling suite
           

A single portal, for ease and collaboration

With unified processes, your teams will have the right information available, at the right time. Naturally, each department or team works with their own processes and tools. However, with an ESM approach, all these processes come together to deliver a seamless user experience. That enhances:

  • Cross-enterprise collaboration
  • Operational efficiency
  • Employee productivity
  • Employee experience

This is for service management that aligns with business goals, and guarantees compliance and cost efficiency.

ITSM and ESM

IT Service Management (ITSM) creates the foundation for ESM. ESM cherry-picks relevant ITSM workflows, introducing their structure to other business areas. ESM can encompass the entire enterprise: From HR to finance, facilities to marketing, and so on.
