ITSM Project

This project is to replace our IT Service Management (ITSM) platform, a system used by the IT Service Desk and other ILS support teams to log and manage support requests raised by our staff, affiliates, and students.

Our vision is to create an exceptional people-centric digital experience where students and staff are empowered to find answers to IT Service queries more quickly and efficiently, increasing their productivity and saving time and money for all.

The strategic context for the project is aligned with our Digital Strategy objectives:

  • Strategic: Delivers a new system to enable strategic objectives.

  • A ‘cloud first’ approach for university IT systems.
