Recently, the IT Service Management (ITSM) world has seen an increased focus on self-service IT. An increasing number of organisations are taking it on as a stronger and more beneficial approach in ITSM for a wide range of reasons. Self-service opens up unrivaled opportunities in both CS (Customer Service) and internal processes. Here are some of the benefits that may be expected by integrating self-service IT into your operations:
Asset management and tracking software programs are critical components of organisational maintenance and development.

Most healthcare entities have come to terms with the benefits of transitioning to the cloud. Accordingly, a report by Markets and Markets states that the global healthcare cloud computing market is expected to increase from USD $28.1 billion in 2020 to USD $64.7 billion by 2025. However, moving to the cloud does not erase all cybersecurity, rather it makes breach management and patching all the more important.
The Ponemon Institute conducted a survey which revealed that the healthcare industry is falling behind in patching and managing vulnerabilities in its systems, leaving them open to breaches and cyber attacks. Of the 3000 security professionals who participated in the survey, 57% said that their organisation had experienced one or more data breaches in which networks were accessed via vulnerabilities. Patches had already been released for the vulnerabilities at the time of the attacks but had not been implemented.
According to the survey, this is a regular occurrence because over half of cybersecurity experts struggle to stay on top of patching due to a great shortage in staff. Consequently, high priority patches are put first and the rest typically take eight or more weeks to be implemented. Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that by 2025, there will be 3.5 million open positions in cybersecurity.
Healthcare technology has made tremendous strides in just the past few years, however, the current status of healthcare information security and other integral issues may be unknown to many. For your convenience, Giva has listed a few upcoming healthcare security conferences and summits in the UK through the end of 2018 so you may gain valuable networking and educational information on this critical topic.
Our perception of things always affects their outcome in one way or another. Similarly, company culture is a largely relevant factor when assessing a business's success rates in digital transformation. According to Jonathan Betcher, a CDO at SAP Software Solutions, culture is as equally important as business transitions and digital technologies. Even though culture is an abstract element, it is not an easy thing to alter. It requires persistence and consistency in order for the change to become well embedded into the organisation. Below is a list of ways of how company culture can affect an organisation's digital transformation:

These departments are often relied upon to perform heavily technologically based jobs requiring a level of technical skill that most people not only do not have, but also do not understand.
