Customer-centric approach

The customer-centric approach to improving or re-inventing service delivery is crucial as businesses face new and unanticipated customers due to the expanding reach of digital marketplaces. To capitalize on opportunities and maintain trust, businesses must execute simple, reliable, and trustworthy end-to-end transactions everywhere, without exception. This requires IT operations to deliver the necessary speed and agility to meet new customer requirements. AIOps can play a central role in combining customer-centricity with IT operations to improve service delivery and stay competitive in the market.

Expect the unexpected

Be proactive and adaptive to changing business needs. Execute predictive and proactive operational efforts based on the detection of trends and patterns. System-level deficiencies can be sent to design teams for resolution, while operational issues can be automatically addressed through predefined actions without the need for manual intervention. Create a more efficient and effective service delivery process by anticipating and responding to potential issues before they occur.

Data-driven decisions

Massive amounts of data are readily available to IT operations, but that data goes largely unused. The ability to anticipate demands, detect operational trends, and propose strategic opportunities to the business all exist in the data, a rare occurrence today. IT operations can’t remain passive in its role as a strategic partner or ignore the untapped opportunities of available data.

Adopt new operating principles, embrace new automation capabilities, enhance data science skills, and move to a data-driven decision-making mentality. Automate service delivery processes where possible and use tools like Configuration Management Database (CMDB) and self-healing capabilities. Businesses and their strategic partners, like IT operations, must adapt to changing demands by leveraging the massive amounts of unused data to anticipate needs, detect trends, and identify strategic opportunities.

Improve employee experience

Find ways to improve the experience of employees who deliver services. The pandemic has changed the future of work and increased employees’ expectations of employer technologies. Companies plan to pursue a hybrid model, with some workers working remotely. Automation and contingent labor will become more widespread, and non-tech employees will become citizen developers. To improve talent acquisition and retention, organizations will need positive workforce analytics and strategies to prevent data misuse. Tech leaders must prepare for these changes and lead the transformation.

Leveraging an Enterprise DevSecOps and Agile Approach with ITSM/ESM

Adopt an agile and DevSecOps approach to service delivery. Break down silos between different departments and teams by collaborating closely and using agile methodologies to deliver services faster and more efficiently. Integrate IT Service Management (ITSM) and Enterprise Service Management (ESM) in DevSecOps processes to ensure alignment and consistency.
