From Manual to Managed: ITSMTransformation in a BPO Company

Customer Overview

A nearshore business process outsourcing company specializing in sourcing experienced professionals to support and optimize business operations.

‍

The Challenge

The company faced inefficiencies in handling incident intake and managing internal service requests. Their existing processes were largely manual, creating bottlenecks and delaying response times for employees seeking IT support. These challenges not only impacted internal productivity but also affected overall service quality.

The organization needed a structured, automated system to streamline these processes, improve response times, and provide employees with a user-friendly way to submit and track their incidents and service requests. The goal was to reduce friction and allow the internal support team to work more efficiently while maintaining visibility and control over each ticket’s lifecycle.

The Solution

To address the company’s needs, we implemented a comprehensive IT Service Management (ITSM) solution starting with Incident Management. This was built from the ground up, ensuring the system was fully tailored to the company's specific processes and internal structure.

A key part of the solution was the development of a dedicated self-service portal, exclusively for the company’s employees. Through this portal, employees gained instant access to submit incidents, track their status, and engage with support teams more efficiently. By centralizing the intake process, the company was able to streamline communication and establish a single point of contact for IT-related issues.

This implementation not only provided much-needed automation but also introduced best practices that aligned with ITIL frameworks, setting the foundation for scalable IT operations moving forward.

Key Learnings and Challenges

One of the most valuable lessons from this project was gaining firsthand experience in building an Incident Management system from scratch. This required careful planning, detailed configuration, and a deep understanding of the company’s workflows.

A significant technical challenge we encountered was working within a domain-separated environment in the platform. Since the company’s entire ITSM setup was encapsulated in its own domain, we had to conduct extensive research and testing to ensure that all features would behave correctly in this isolated structure. Domain separation required an added layer of complexity when configuring permissions, visibility rules, and workflow behaviors, but overcoming this hurdle strengthened our expertise for future projects with similar architecture.

Additionally, this project emphasized the importance of aligning technical solutions with the company’s operational culture and employee experience. Building a system that was not only functional but also intuitive for end users proved to be a key success factor.

Success Factors

The success of this ITSM implementation was the result of several key elements:

• Team Collaboration: By setting clear goals and working closely with the client’s internal teams, we ensured alignment throughout the project and addressed issues quickly.
• Focus on Best Practices: Adopting ITIL best practices from the start helped create a robust and scalable solution that can easily support future ITSM expansions.
• User-Centered Design: Designing a simple, user-friendly portal ensured high adoption rates among employees and made the new system an integral part of their daily workflow.
• Agility and Problem Solving: Our ability to quickly adapt to domain separation challenges and proactively find solutions was essential to delivering the project successfully and on time.
