IT Service Management (ITSM)

Definition

The practice of designing, delivering, managing, and improving IT services to meet business needs, often implemented through platforms like ServiceNow.

Overview

IT Service Management (ITSM) encompasses the policies, processes, and tools used to deliver IT services. ITSM frameworks like ITIL define best practices for incident management, change management, and service requests. ITSM platforms like ServiceNow and Jira Service Management provide workflow automation, self-service portals, and reporting. ITSM integration enables automated ticket creation, asset synchronization, and cross-platform visibility.

Why It Matters

Slow IT service delivery creates bottlenecks that ripple across the entire organization. When tickets take days to resolve, employee productivity drops, system outages go unaddressed, and change requests pile up—ultimately impacting business agility and revenue.
