With the rise of distributed and remote IT, operations, and service teams, you’re probably on the lookout for a service management tool to help you move swiftly, foster flexible workstyles, and ensure visibility and connectivity between teams. That’s where Atlassian Jira Service Management comes into play. It equips organizations to provide responsive and user-friendly internal and external services, which are fundamental for delivering exceptional customer and employee experiences. Recently, Forrester completed a study to assess the total economic impact of Atlassian. Here’s a high-level summary of the findings.
IT Service Management (ITSM) Evolving Into Enterprise Service Management (ESM)
For many organizations, IT service management (ITSM) tools are the linchpin of seamless and holistic management of IT service delivery to customers. They encompass a broad spectrum of IT services, including request, change, incident, knowledge, and asset management, which are crucial for meeting evolving business requirements.
Enterprise service management (ESM) represents the next phase in the evolution of ITSM. It expands service management capabilities to business-centric use cases. That means ESM bridges the gap between business and IT service teams. Plus, it ensures visibility and ease of use are never compromised. This shift fosters greater standardization and predictability at the organizational level while boosting the overall efficiency of service delivery.
The Unified Solution Of Atlassian Jira Service Management
Atlassian’s Jira Service Management offers a comprehensive suite of capabilities for both ITSM and ESM practices. It brings together all service teams under one platform, creating a connected experience that fosters ease of use, collaboration, and automated workflows. Additionally, the integration with Jira Software further unifies service and operations teams with developers, eliminating silos and expediting workflows. This convergence ensures end users enjoy a high-velocity, responsive, and transparent service experience.
The Forrester Total Economic Impact of Atlassian
To understand the tangible benefits, costs, and risks associated with adopting Jira Service Management, Atlassian commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact (TEI) study. The study aimed to evaluate the potential financial impact of Jira Service Management on organizations, drawing on real-world experiences.
