IT Asset Management Cited As Biggest Remote IT Support Challenge, Followed by Communication and Collaboration
DEL VALLE, Texas — April 26, 2022 —ManageEngine, the enterprise IT management division of Zoho Corporation, today announced the results of its survey, The State of ITSM Two Years Into the COVID-19 Pandemic, following up on a similar survey conducted in 2020 to understand the challenges the pandemic has caused for IT service teams.
The latest findings indicate that organizations are grappling with a new set of problems that were not previously deemed the top priorities.
“The survey clearly reveals that traditional IT needs to transform itself in the post-pandemic world to cater to the new realities in the workplace,” said Kumaravel Ramakrishnan, evangelist at ManageEngine. “Self-organizing teams, high-velocity workflows and a digital-first approach to customer experience are the hallmarks of new age, democratized IT. At ManageEngine, our focus is on helping customers embrace these changes and better support their users and businesses in hybrid workplaces."
To understand how well organizations have coped over the now two-year-long pandemic, the impact on operations and which factors have influenced success, ManageEngine surveyed 437 IT professionals globally across a range of topics in late 2021.
The survey focused on seven areas as they relate to ITSM: work locations, the impact of employees working remotely, financial and asset management implications, the business view of IT, security and governance issues, third-party services and technology assistance and business continuity success levels. The survey yielded key insights that can help organizations and teams continue working efficiently and securely despite a distributed workforce.
“Organizations worldwide learned invaluable lessons from the pandemic, including what’s most important to them and their end users, the importance of IT to business operations and the changes needed to meet the needs of a hybrid workforce,” said Ramakrishnan. “ITSM teams played a critical role in ensuring that business operations continued during the pandemic, from overseeing BYOD policies and the provision of mobile assets to implementing self-service features and chatbots, investing more in business continuity planning and offering IT service delivery and support.”
