Saint Elizabeth Health Care has increased the productivity of its IT service desk team by approximately 40% by implementing the Giva Service Desk Management Suite. Productivity improvements come from automation that eliminates many manual steps, providing instant visibility to hot spots and critical issues and better measurement of service desk team productivity.
Saint Elizabeth's team of 6,500 health care professionals work out of the company's 25 offices located across Canada or remotely from their homes. The IT service desk team is busy nearly 24X7 ensuring the security, performance and application availability of the company's suite of private cloud applications. Saint Elizabeth made a long term partnership commitment to the Giva Service Management Suite including Service Desk, Knowledge Base, Hardware and Software Asset Management, Asset Auto Discovery and Change Management modules.

"The service desk's Home Page Dashboard saves each service desk team member 2.5 hours per day by providing constant visibility to hot spots and highlighting critical issues with charts, metrics and analytics."
Additional IT service desk productivity improvements come from the fact that issues are more quickly assigned to an owner and employees can see responses to questions instantly and take immediate follow-up action. Hot issues are now instantly visible to the IT service desk team. "As IT leader, my own productivity has increased over 40% because Giva saves time monitoring the IT service desk," Burne said.
