Big Bang Theory does not Work!

The Big Bang Theory explains that our universe began with a small singularity that, with one single shot, started to inflate to the cosmos that we know today. In spite this theory is the leading explanation about how the universe began, planning to implement and integrate service management practices in one shot, with a big bang, is often risky. As the implementation cycle can be complex, doing everything at one time without showing any benefits may lead to a complete lack of

Win over the inertia to change

At www.sintesys.us we believe that, since IT Service Management often brings about a change in the way many IT organizations work and how the IT organization is structured, this situation also makes evident a very common cultural issue within organizations: People usually resist changes! There are people who wouldn’t like to change the current practices in an organization and believe that status quo is good, creating a chaotic environment and impeding effective implementation

Always look for consultants that add value

If you are decided to start a digital acceleration project, it is important that you identify where to find adequate expertise and knowledge to properly manage the project. Even if the staff is operational expertise, they probably will need help in key project's activities, such as: guide the planning sessions, define financial viability, define the project plan or coordinate project’s activities. A technical opinion of the IT Ecosystem and the needed amount of development ho

Be Conscient of Software Interoperation

When implementing a new platform, Software Interoperation is a critical issue to be considered thinking, at least, in the next 3 to 5 years, so key project milestones such as Service Improvement, ROI, Operational Continuity and Processes Stabilization are ensured. As every component of the IT ecosystem support an specific –and sometimes core- part of the End to End process, the interaction among these components are critical to, for example, maintain the integrity of the info

Lead Change with Minimal Resistance

Leading change is not easy, and IT Teams face this challenge when a new platform implementation is in place. This is why IT personnel must be prepared to constantly communicate the rational for change and to repeat the message in order to gain users' support. At www.sintesys.us we agree with Bruce Tompkins’ proposal to lead change with minimal resistance, and we stay beside our clients to design a change management strategy and to prepare IT staff to lead it.

Win the battle against the Goldfish Effect!

When implementing a new platform, IT teams logically deal with inherent problems and risks related to technology and process issues. But what happen if they also have to deal with a lack of support from C-level Executives during the implementation time? Just think on the Goldfish Effect, which affects all business decisions and support due to the amount of time an Executive needs to concentrate and focus to gain insight and make the best possible decision.

Don't over-rely on Out-of-the-Box Features!

A common issue that IT teams face when implementing a new platform is the over reliance that executives have on 'out-of-the-box' features. Even if a platform offers the best out-of-the-box features in the market to integrate almost all of the apps and systems, an important in-house development effort always must be considered in the plan. And sometimes happen that these efforts solve key specific tailored solutions! At www.sintesys.us we work with our prospects and clients to

Because of this, the ServiceNow Community strongly recommends to fully understand what we are trying to achieve through metrics use and what they really mean for the organization.

Don't forget to define your processes

ServiceNow implementation can be a long cumbersome process for most of the organizations and teams.

Only allowing the whole implementation team to define and own their processes, the IT le

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Service-Orientation Architecture (SOA) is a relevant difference between ITSM and the traditional IT model. Even lot of SOA definitions can be found, a fair amount of commonality exists among them, such as object-oriented programming, component-based software engineering and an open distributed processing. Services also inherit a number of features of software components that includes multiple-use, non-context-specific, composable and a unit of independent deployment and versi

Business Perspective Adoption

Traditional IT management used to has a technical view of the business, understanding platforms, systems and apps as an ecosystem that provides support to processes. The ITSM Business Perspective instead, is comprised of a group of people from the IT team that serve as liaison with the business to better understand it, know the organizational goals and future direction and work to have the new apps in place when they are needed according to business strategy.

Integrated enterprise wide

When high-growth companies have several siloed applications, there are many business challenges that arise and that can become so severe. Wasted employee productivity, lack of real-time visibility, integration complexity and cost, and increased customer churn are only some of the problems that a non-integrated business wide can present. To keep your business growing at the dramatic rates you plan for, it is essential to have your business software applications integrated arou

Users vs Customers

Users vs Customers

Sometimes the word "user" is specific— words like buyer, seller or contributor aren't always inclusive enough. And it doesn't come down to putting people first, because "customer" is just as much about us as "user" is (whose customer? user of what?). t's not about what we call our users—it's about how we treat them. Replacing "user" with "customer" isn't going to solve the empathy problems. Replacing "user" with "you" would probably be a better place to start. If we want to g

Mini-deployments

It is always very tempting to go ahead with a big digital acceleration project that will solve everything. However, many times those dreams never become true! The main reason is because big-scope projects tend to be more complex. Our recommendation is to break the project in mini-deployments that solve small problems and that come out with the minimum but constant functionality that you will need. At www.sintesys.us we can provide a complementary point of view on how to break
