Why are we here? Global trends Demand for Service Desk tools is growing above the IT Operations Management market average at 14% per annum Organizations are looking to consolidate multiple Service Desk and IT Service Management tools into a single, controllable solution as a first step towards achieving a more productive level of IT maturity. Large vendors with broad product portfolios are losing focus on the core requirements of customers in the IT Service Management market. Many organisations that purchased from vendors such as BMC, CA, Clarify, HP, Peregrine (now HP) and Vantive (now Oracle) are finding that the cost and complexity of upgrading their solutions, coupled with the high maintenance fees make the prospect of starting from scratch with a new vendor and new, out-of-the-box implementations very attractive Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Service Desk, 2007
Why are we here? Russian trends IT Service Management, ITIL and ISO20000 maturity is growing fast and the market is moving beyond simple ticketing and call management Demand for Service management tools in Russia is catching up and growing faster than the global 14% per annum 90% of Russian large and Enterprise market is now stuck with products that have either been abandoned by their current supplier or are of such old versions that upgrading is impossible. Therefore 90% of the market is facing complete product replacement and reimplementation in the next two to three years. Besides Axios, there is no supplier offering true out-of-the box, Russian Best Practice solution
What is our proposition? Axios Systems is the only market leading supplier of true out-of-the-box IT Service Management solutions assyst - the original ITIL solution TM, - is implemented with no programming whatsoever. Is this possible? We have been doing this for 20 years for over 400 organisations
True out-of-the-box Having functionality available does not make true out-of-the-box solutions The basic rule: If you can develop, you will develop! - Internal pressure of staff/departments demanding specials - Interest of supplier to spend as many hours of development staff as possible - Interest of supplier to make customer dependent on customisation - Not in interest of manufacturer to be flexible in pre-packed functions Keep it simple Keep it out of the Box
Why stay away from development Out-of-the-box Toolbox Implementing ITSM Focus on business 80% business 20% technology Project execution On time, on budget Ability to plan and stick to the plan Ongoing maintenance Negligible technical administration Use you staff to support the business instead of yourself Focus on technology 20% business 80% technology Default exceeding time and budget Technological surprises and development set backs Team of technical administrators High hidden costs and lost resources Future upgrades Upgrade in hours All functionality and configuration retained through upgrade Multi-month upgrade project Cumbersome upgrade process with high risk of loosing or redoing development customisations
Your benefit Total cost of Ownership (TCO) assyst is one, all-inclusive solution (all processes), that you purchase once. So no surprises. No customisation = less expense at every stage. Implementation, maintenance, upgrade, expansion System configurations retained from version to version so upgrades are quick and inexpensive. No loss of resources invested.
Your benefit Return on investment (ROI) Lower TCO means lower threshold for positive ROI Considerable faster deployment means earlier production, resulting in shorter time to returns, both for IT and the business Intangible ROI in reputation to the business and raised customer satisfaction
Leverage of past success No need to reinvent the wheel. Speak to others that have taken the journey already, outside Russia and inside Russia.
