A 5 Step Guide to Selecting an ITSM Platform

According to Gartner, “Focus ITSM platform selection on your current and planned service desk and service operations functional requirements by defining a three-year ITSM practice roadmap.”  When shopping for a new IT Service Management platform, we believe it can be daunting – especially if you are relying solely on a cookie-cutter RFP template that you download.

Questions to consider from TeamDynamix:  

  • Do you want to also use the solution in other groups like HR?

  • Do you want to integrate with other platforms?

  • Do you need Conversational AI / Chat – or Live Chat?

  • Are you going to embrace the ITIL framework?

  • How will you structure your portal?

  • Do you need process consulting as well?

  • What types of analytics do you need?

“I&O leaders will overspend by $2 billion on buying unused features of ITSM platforms in 2026, up from $1 billion in 2021.”

In 2023, Gartner retired the Magic QuadrantTM  for ITSM Platforms and introduced the Market Guide for IT Service Management Platforms in its place.
While ITSM platforms remain a relevant part of nearly all I&O technology stacks, this decision was driven by the functional maturity of the market and the resulting limited movement among its vendors.
