Service desk redesign for a UAE cybersecurity MSSP
A gap assessment, phased transformation plan and twelve ITIL process designs that raised service management maturity for a managed security services provider.
Raising service desk maturity for a security provider
A managed security services provider in the UAE relied on ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus for its own internal and customer facing support, but the configuration had evolved without a consistent process framework.
Leadership wanted a service desk that reflected ITIL good practice, supported growth and gave clear visibility of performance.
