Prove Value or PerishBy 2014, 30% of IT organizations will experience staffing reductions of 10%

or more due to the inability to clearly show value in IT services.

Why it will happen:

IT Key Metrics data shows both IT

Spending as a Percent of Operational

Expense and IT Spending as a Percent

of Revenue declining over the past 5

years with no projection of increasing.

Staffing is the largest percent of spendof the I&O organization

I&O organizations are not maturing the

manner in which they present metrics

surrounding their services I&O organizations will not properly

align metrics against CSFs of the

business.

Why it won't happen:

I&O Organizations will no longer utilizeunaligned canned reports available inITSSM Tools in favor of value basedreporting

I&O organizations will work closely with

the business to understand theirperception of value to ensure servicesdelivered are measured against thebusiness users desires rather thanoperational goals of the I&O

I&O organizations will mature in themanner they utilize metrics to ensureproper business alignment

14/36

Will IT Self-Service and Automation (Finally)Reduce IT Service Desk Staffing?

By 2014, 20% of IT organizations will reduce Level 1 IT service desk staff by 50%.

Reasons why SPA will be true

Continued failure of IT service

desks to demonstrate business

value

Continued budget constraints will

cause IT organizations to mandate

self-service as a primary support

option

Reallocation of IT service deskfunctions to Level 2 will only

consist of specific issue types

Reasons why SPA will be false

Continued organizationalinvestment in IT service desk

maturity

Current levels of investment aretoo significant to cut bait

Technology becomes too complexfor users to manage demand

efficiently in a self-service model

from 80% in 2011), due to growth of market leaders and vendor consolidation. By 2014, 30% of IT organizations will experience staffing reductions of 10% or more due to

the inability to clearly show value in IT services.

By 2015, 25% of organizations will incorporate game mechanics for IT service supportprocesses.

By 2015, at least two of the following social attributes (networking, publishing, feedback andanalytics) will be included in the majority of IT service desk standard offerings.

By 2015, less than 2% of interactions currently solved by the IT service desk will be solvedthrough internal end-user communities.

Recommendations Identify opportunities for IT service desk evolution. Take small steps as necessary.

Involve the IT service desk in the definition stages of new or changing IT services,

positioning them to be better informed and ready to support services more

efficiently.

Perform a detailed ROI analysis to understand how future IT service desk

improvement efforts and technology innovation will affect efficiency, costs and

quality.

Provide support analysts with service view data to enable faster problemidentification.

Enhance IT service notification, end-user satisfaction surveying and IT self-service

with the use of social media.

Differentiation among ITSD vendors will be outside of the core product in the

corollary products.

Consider the five-year TCO of a SaaS solution rather than just the purchase price.
