Ivanti makes the Everywhere Workplace possible. In the Everywhere Workplace, employees use myriad devices to access IT applications and data over various networks to stay productive as they work from anywhere. The Ivanti Neurons automation platform connects the company’s industry-leading unified endpoint management, zero trust security and enterprise service management solutions, providing a unified IT platform that enables devices to self-heal and self-secure and empowers users to self-service. Over 40,000 customers, including 78 of the Fortune 100, have chosen Ivanti to discover, manage, secure, and service their IT assets from cloud to edge, and deliver excellent end user experiences for employees, wherever and however they work.

Security leaders often struggle to showcase the impact they can make on their organization's bottom line. To help translate security actions into business outcomes, Chris Goettl invited Rob Leisure, Ivanti’s Senior Director of Solutions Marketing, and Amanda Wittern, Ivanti’s Deputy Chief Security Officer, to discuss their experiences and first-hand experience from conducting Business Impact Assessment (BIA) at Ivanti.

Shattering Silos: Practical Ways to Align Security and IT

After several years of increasing tech stack complexity, the pendulum is finally swinging back towards simplifying the IT landscape - and the best place to start is with the low-hanging fruit. A natural consideration for IT teams is extending ITSM to support the broader organization. But consolidating tools and connecting enterprise workflows doesn't come without its challenges.

Watch this 30-minute webinar to explore how you can get more out of your ITSM platform, featuring first-hand insights from Glasgow University's experience establishing enterprise service management and practical tips for removing roadblocks along the way.

YOU’LL LEARN:

How ESM supports more than IT, HR or facilities.
How to build internal advocacy to secure stakeholders buy-in.
How to deliver a consistent user experience with organizational services.
How to maximize ROI from your IT investment.

Expand your ITSM: Key learnings for building connected enterprise workflows

It’s no secret that AI and automation can help IT teams reduce workloads and accelerate service delivery — in fact, Ivanti research shows that 92% of IT workers find automation necessary to be efficient at their job.  

However, when it comes to the use of generative AI, IT professionals are not convinced: 56% believe that it will benefit employers more than employees. Some of this scepticism comes from lack of clarity around gen AI plans and applications in the organization.  

So, what are the opportunities for IT teams to leverage gen AI in their day-to-day and how can we expect this space to develop?  

During this discussion panel our speakers unpack different use cases for gen AI in service management that are already available today and that are likely to emerge in the future. They outline the benefits to IT’s daily workloads and their professional development. 

You’ll learn: 
-  What does IT talent really think of gen AI use in the workplace? 
- How can gen AI decrease the service desk’s mean time to resolution? 
- How can applying gen AI as a co-pilot to self-service enable IT to shift left? 
- As gen AI evolves what use cases within service management are likely to emerge in the future? 
- What can we do to minimize AI anxiety among your IT talent?

How to Transform IT Service Management with Generative AI

Service-desk tickets. Lost laptops. End-user complaints. As an IT team, sometimes it can feel like you can barely keep your head above water. But what if you could be proactive instead of simply reactive?

In this webinar you’ll gain the insights you need to solve business problems proactively with IT Service Management (ITSM) and IT Asset Management (ITAM) working together.

Join this webinar to learn how you can:

Empower your users with self-service
Benefit from faster and better incident resolution
Get a proactive handle on your problem assets
Explore effective change management
Gain complete asset lifecycle visibility

Practical demo: ITSM & ITAM Better Together

Having visibility of assets that are accessing your organization’s network is one thing. But understanding their potential impact on your IT environment is a different story. Knowledge is power. Especially in the Everywhere Work model, when each of your employees uses on average 2.6 devices to do their job every day.

In this practical demo webinar, Everett and Steven will showcase how pairing service and asset management platforms with comprehensive discovery and service mapping solutions can help you identify and visualize relationships and dependencies of assets in your IT environment.

Join us and learn how to:
- Leverage root cause analysis for improved and quicker problem resolution.
- Manage change impacting risk assessments with accuracy and ease.
- Improve security and business continuity efforts.

Understanding your IT environment with Discovery, Service Mapping and ITSM

Most IT service management (ITSM) teams want their service desk analysts to resolve more incidents on their own and deliver more “shift-left” outcomes. Portals, service catalogs, self-service, knowledge articles and chatbots do help, but many incidents are still being handled by the service desk or escalated to specialists, taking time and resources away from strategic initiatives.

In this session, Dave discusses how AI and Automation drive “big shift-left” outcomes. He’ll show how capabilities such as autonomous bots, comprehensive discovery, specialist-level packaged actions, real-time insights and digital experience scores can effectively augment service desk teams. He’ll also show how the use of these capabilities will help your team deliver proactive incident resolutions, autonomous security remediations and cost savings, while realizing vastly fewer escalations and improving employee experiences.

Join Dave as he covers:
- Market dynamics driving higher demands and expectations for ITSM.
- How to resolve incidents and security vulnerabilities proactively before employees report them.
- How to reduce escalations by safely enabling tier 1 teams with powerful diagnostic and remediation tools.
- How to measure and optimize the digital employee experience.

Practical demo: Augmenting your ITSM with AI & automation

When budgets are closely scrutinized you need to justify every investment, especially the long-term one which results aren’t visible overnight. Digital employee experience (DEX), though a strategic initiative, may prove challenging to push forward without a clear roadmap or measurement of every step. 

During this 30min webinar we tackle how to plan your DEX initiative, step-by-step. We’ll discuss a staggered approach that instantly helps your IT and security operations, whilst improving DEX in the long term.

YOU’LL LEARN: 
- How deep understanding of your infrastructure sets up IT and security operations for success. 
- How security insights can improve IT service delivery. 
- How DEX KPIs can measure success of automated workflows. 
- How to prove ROI from each step on the way to improved DEX.
