Service mapping is an essential tool for IT service management, as it allows you to gain a clear and comprehensive understanding of the various components and dependencies that make up their IT services. Service mapping focuses on discovering data center devices, infrastructure, application dependencies and the corresponding relationships. This enables your organization to manage and optimize their IT operations, improve service delivery and more effectively reduce disruptions and outages risk.
The rapid digitalization of work environments means employees are obliged to work faster and better. Achieving this means businesses are dependent on having happy, healthy, productive teams.

In 2004, a joint initiative of the US Department of Homeland Security and the National Cybersecurity Alliance declared October National Cybersecurity Awareness Month to help raise awareness of the best practices to remain safe while working online. Vigilance enables us to maintain privacy and productivity for our own sake and for the organizations we may work for.
It’s that time of the year again and peak season 2022 feels different. With supply chains and global economies in flux, businesses have a lot to consider. Shipping woes are subsiding in many areas – consider that a year ago, the queue at the Port of Long Beach, California was approaching a peak of 110 vessels, down to eight freighters in September of this year. East coast ports in the US and others around the globe are seeing rising tides.
Laws vary by state. That’s expected. Fairbanks, Alaska, enacted a law prohibiting the provision of alcoholic beverages to moose, so don’t even think about it. In a part of Washington State, good luck trying to kill Bigfoot. (Not because Bigfoot doesn’t exist, but specifically because it’s illegal per a 1969 law.) But what happens when state-specific regulations are used to address a topic that transcends geographic boundaries like, say, the internet?
