Enterprise IT Landscape Management in the Digitization Age
Digital services improve the customer experience. They also raise the bar for the workforce behind the digital scene. The quality, speed and responsiveness of backend customer support activities must be on par with the digital frontend. Customer support needs to be able to react fast, provide correct answers and offer valid solutions for issues in situations where human interaction is still a vital part of servicing the customer. Giving employees an optimized IT workspace is the best way to rise to this challenge.
The workplace is an important component of an organization’s IT documentation. The FNT Workplace Infrastructure Management solution enables enterprise IT customers to holistically design, roll out, and operate state-of-the-art infrastructures for workplaces. The solution helps organizations achieve greater operational efficiency in documenting and managing all workplace elements, from laptops and PCs/NCs to virtualized desktops, installed software, as well as the usual periphery elements like monitor devices, printers, etc. It also includes voice communications infrastructure as part of the service portfolio offered to the end user of IT services. Any form of fixed and mobile telephony devices, including SIM cards, can be documented and managed.
Additionally, the solution features catalog management, order and workorder management, blueprinting capabilities, integrated parameter management, and support for zero-touch provisioning of virtual resources.
