Introduction

In today’s fast-paced business world, Enterprise Service Management (ESM) has become a game-changer for organisations looking to simplify internal processes and provide top-notch employee support. GLPI, a powerful open-source tool, is here to help you achieve this goal. This article will explore how GLPI makes ESM implementation across various business functions a breeze, focusing on the end-user experience and using real-life examples to show its effectiveness.

ESM Demystified

Think of Enterprise Service Management (ESM) as extending IT service management capabilities beyond tech services to tackle business-centric use cases. By managing service demand and supply through a shared platform, portal, and service catalogue, ESM boosts the visibility and accessibility of enterprise services, speeds up service delivery, and strengthens the core processes.

As modern technologies and software give us instant access and solutions in our everyday lives, employees now expect a similar experience at work. This expectation applies to interactions with IT and other service providers in a company, including departments like HR, Legal, Facilities, Education, Security, Sales, Marketing, R&D, and Finance. ESM is vital in driving organisational digital transformation by streamlining service management across these diverse areas.
