Overview
xAssets Service Management Software is available as an integral part of the xAssets IT Asset Management solution.
This architecture optimises Service Delivery by ensuring that all incidents are connected into the
organisations IT Asset Infrastructure and having direct access to the Asset database in a single integrated application
ensures rapid call resolution through data quality, accessibility, accuracy and consistency.
The software was written with these business goals in mind:
- Reduce Incident Volume
- Fast resolution of Incidents and Problems
- Configurable Workflows for each type of Service Task
- Easy to use for Callers and the Service Desk
- Rapid deployment and minimal training needed
Reduced Incident Volume
Incidents and Problems are reduced as follows:
- Predict incidents before they occur and resolve them using the reports from Network Discovery
- Increase server reliability by monitoring key measures from Network Discovery
- Discovery reports on stopped Windows Services including Patchlink, Automatic Updates and AV products
- Self Service Profiles can close as well as open incidents
Faster Resolution of Incidents
Incidents and Problems are resolved quickly for the following reasons:
- Full access to detailed asset discovery info from the incident screen
- Rediscover the asset to get updated configuration information
- Knowledge base relating to all previous incidents
- Technicians can access the system from any computer on the network
- Closing a problem record can close related incident records
Configurable Workflows
The workflow engine is configured according to customer requirements and enables
the conditional routing of incidents, problems and other types of task through a defined process.
Ease of use
The browser based interface enables access from any PC on the network. The self service module
is very simple and enables end users to submit incidents by email or web form, and they can
subsequently close incidents themselves.
The user interface is configured to exact customer requirements, so just the information needed
by the business is recorded against each incident. Since all assets are usually stored in the
ITAM application, there is no requirement for technicians to complete asset information. The help desk
simply finds the caller by name, location or serial number, and raises an incident against the callers
computer asset. Asset information is automatically discovered on a regular basis and is always
up-to-date.
