We know all about the value of the IT Service Catalog and the huge benefits that a successful project can deliver to the business, end-users and the IT organization. Not only will your Service Catalog provide a better level of customer service to your business users or customers but also help your IT organization transform into a service-orientated business partner.
However, there’s still much debate and general uncertainty around what a Service Catalog actually is, what it should contain and exactly what value it has to offer. Taking ITIL Service Catalog education and theory into a real-life practical adoption is often a huge barrier for many IT organizations, raising questions like:
“Where do you start, with a blank page or with Service Catalog templates?”
“What IT services do we offer to the business?”
“Who do I need to involve?”
“I get it but how do I ‘sell’ the vision internally?”
“I want an on-line Service Catalog tool how much will that cost!?!?”
“Surely brain surgery would be easier than this!?!?”
Don’t despair; it’s for these reasons that we launched Front Office Essentials, the only FREE OF CHARGE Service Catalog adoption program that guides you through to Service Catalog success.
