Leading enterprises find themselves among the laggers. While many of them were the first to implement comprehensive ITSM practices, some now are among the last to upgrade their legacy systems. Further delay in the decision to migrate will lead to the following:
- Lack of access to new functionalities & access to make use of information with modern software will lag the ability to enhance and to optimise business processes
- Legacy systems lack speed and will adversely affect the SLA and will result in low productivity.
- Legacy systems are vulnerable and more prone to security issues
- Lack of self-service will put additional workload to your IT team
- Finally, the costs of maintaining traditional ITSM suites will grow year over years.
