3 Introduction Smaller IT organizations, such as those serving small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and departments within larger organizations, must deliver world-class service on a small company budget. With increasing financial pressures and constraints, an already overworked staff and ever-increasing customer expectations, you know that getting the most out of every minute and dollar is crucial to survival and growth. Unlike larger enterprises that have significant resources to develop and maintain IT processes, you must concentrate on your core business before thinking about IT best practices. This can force you into merely fighting fires rather than taking a structured and pragmatic approach to delivering business value. You struggle with the cost and effort of upgrading help desk applications and justifying the up-front investment they require in hardware, software, and staff while knowing they can help you in the long run through lower management costs and improved visibility into the delivery of IT services. SMBs and departments within larger organizations often lack the resources to deliver the help desk best practices their users require. While you don t have the luxury to customize and maintain the infrastructure to run your help desk, you don t want to sacrifice flexibility and get boxed into a one-size-fits-all solution. You need to be able to add a new workflow to the system, or a new feature to a user interface, without waiting weeks or months for a developer to implement it. Finally, you want to be able to grow your capabilities over time, adding new time-saving and cost-saving capabilities, such as user self-service or an online knowledge base. You can get all this, and more, with BMC Remedyforce Service Desk.. This new service delivers easy-to-use and powerful help desk, self-service, and incident management tools built on ITIL-based best practices, along with the low total cost of ownership, power, and personalization provided by the proven Force.com cloud-based infrastructure. This cloud-based SaaS solution will help you quickly automate routine workflows, cut repetitive management tasks, improve service quality, and ease compliance all while reducing costs to give you the benefits of a world-class help desk at a great value. BMC Remedyforce Service Desk provides the benefits of a world-class help desk at a great value. Help Desk Needs in Smaller Environments As part of an SMB or departmental IT organization, you may lack the resources to support a highly customized IT help desk application, maintain sophisticated change and release processes, implement sophisticated identity and access controls, or develop best practices based on standards, such as the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL ). What s more, you may find that making changes to your help desk application to reflect how your business works or to implement ITIL processes is often too difficult or expensive to be practical. Having to buy and configure help desk software weeks or even months before it starts delivering value makes it harder to justify the purchase, even if it saves money and increases service quality in the long run. Help desk pain points:» Lack of resources» Up-front cost of hardware, software» Poor processes» Delayed time to value» Keeping current with the latest version 1
4 As an IT leader, you need a flexible help desk solution that gives you a single view into your IT infrastructure, improves service quality, measures improvement over time, and gives you a roadmap to add capabilities, such as change, configuration, event, and application management.
