From SLA to XLA: Rethinking End-User KPIs

The 1980s was a period that set the ball rolling for many aspects of the technology that we are using today. Personal computers, such as the BBC Micro and similar devices, introduced the world in general to the power and potential of IT – a capability that has grown massively in sophistication and capability, to the point that it has become fundamental to many aspects of life at work and at home.

Putting Employees at the Centerpiece of Your 2019 IT Strategy

In recent years, IT professionals have been progressively realizing that successful IT strategies actually depend on a simple question: who? Indeed, for once, instead of asking “what” or “how much,” they are shifting their focus towards the people ultimately impacted by IT decision making – their employees.

2019 Important IT Milestones

“What??? Fully end of life by April, you say? As in, ‘in-six-weeks’ April? Well, there go my weekends for a while. When will we ever get this right?” We’ve all been there at some point, completely under water, late on key projects, having to fight to get our SLA and security KPIs green and completely forget that time is running and now, again, core components are nearing their end of life. Here at Nexthink, we don’t want you to have to go through that.

Keys to Curing Your Employees' Digital Workplace Woes

Unless end users (EUs) are directly prevented from using applications, they are unlikely to report IT anomalies or malfunctions; it’s much easier to restart a program or click “x” to make the error message disappear than submitting a ticket. Every day, employees settle for small IT glitches which never go reported, giving IT departments the perception of smooth service delivery while, in reality, EUs are experiencing constant obstacles and frustration.

Getting the Employee Digital Experience Equation Right

Outside work, your employees lead connected lives. The apps and devices enhancing their leisure time have set a new benchmark for workplace IT performance, and it's high. Meeting these expectations results in increased employee satisfaction and far better productivity through a more connected workforce. When employees are satisfied with their working environment the business enjoys an 81% increase in happy clients.

Supercharge Your Incident Management Process

The very essence of IT is all about innovation - finding ways to do things better, faster and more efficiently. When incidents are out of sight and out of mind, IT has the opportunity to refocus on its core mission and become a strategic business enabler - lighting sparks of innovation instead of putting out fires.

5 Ways IT Teams Can Build a Better Digital Employee Experience

Top companies focusing on employee experience tend to have four times the average profit and more than twice the average revenue. Companies who fail to understand the individual digital needs of their employees are squandering opportunities to have a more engaged, energized and productive workforce.
