Industry areas | It’s aimed at the larger/Medium to Enterprise IT organisation and provides simple to use and user-friendly interfaces and options – e.g. workflow. |
Unique points |
|
Target market | Medium to large enterprise.
Enterprise organisations looking to do integrated ITSM, good for user experience and self service and provisioning. |

A number of examples of client built screens and styles, genius bar integration – mobile interface, Chat. |

Negatives |
|
Overall view | A good fit for high function ITSM and customer experience – particularly for their target market.
They should continue to gain market share because they are continually renewing with industry trends and innovations, whilst still providing strong basic functionality, e.g. moving to collaborative working using ‘workspaces’. |
