Assessment of Enterprise IT Service Management Platforms in North America

Situation

Our client wanted to better understand how IT Service Management (ITSM) platforms in North America integrate with workplace hardware such as docking stations and monitors. They wanted to assess how companies manage and monitor these devices in hybrid work environments, where limited visibility often makes device tracking and maintenance more difficult.

Objective

The objective was to gather an outside-in perspective on integration methods, operational pain points, evolving customer expectations and future needs to inform product development and integration strategy.

Our Work

10EQS conducted targeted interviews with IT architects, software developers, and enterprise infrastructure leaders. The research explored the effectiveness of current software connections (APIs), the use of management tools, and how AI-driven support models can improve the daily technology experience for remote employees.

Project team:
  • Ex-EY Management Consultant withe xtensive technology industry & growth strategy experience.
  • 10EQS Delivery Operations (=PMO) providing quality assurance, process management and expert recruitment.
  • 5 industry experts
Industry experts (excerpt):
  • ITSM Application Engineer – Consulting Firm (US)
  • Sr. Technical Support Escalation Engineer - IT Services Company (US)
  • Managing Director: Business Technology and Program Management – Major Carrier (US)
  • IT Manager - Technology Operations America – Media Production Company (US)

Results

10EQS found that while IT teams use standardized software platforms to exchange hardware data, they prefer "brand-neutral" solutions over apps tied to a single manufacturer. Findings provided the client with a clearer understanding of where OEM platforms can create differentiated value, and which integration capabilities matter most to enterprise buyers.
