IT Service Management ITSM Modernisation Playbook
Tickets are piling up. Resolution times are getting longer. Your team is firefighting instead of following a structured process. Users are frustrated and leadership wants answers.
Every hour of unplanned IT downtime costs mid-size companies $100,000 or more. Poor service management drives shadow IT, security gaps, and employee dissatisfaction.
Go from chaotic ticket queues to a structured, efficient service operation with every process documented, every SLA tracked, and every escalation path defined.
ITSM consultants charge $200 to $450 per hour. Full ITIL implementation projects run $50,000 to $150,000. This playbook gives you the same structured methodology, tools, and frameworks for a fraction of the cost.
