Register for a webinar with David Kinn and Rob Walker, both of Cisco’s ServiceGrid BU, who will be sharing their thoughts and experiences pertaining to service request handling in multi-vendor B2B ecosystems and how ServiceGrid capabilities can address some of the key challenges and inherent complexities of multi-vendor support environments.
“CIO’s in multi-sourced IT organizations continue to struggle having no single view of processes, no automated exchange of information and no consistent SLA management, all of which lead to escalating management costs” – Arjun Sethi, VP Outsourcing Practice, ATKearney
Hear David and Rob describe current market challenges, share some interesting survey data highlighting the disconnect between buyers and providers of IT services, and review some use case examples that illustrate the positive impact that a ServiceGrid-enabled, connected B2B solution can make in complex multi-vendor support environments.
