Joe LeCompte/PMG

Joe LeCompte is with PMG and is appearing on today’s show to discuss Enterprise Service Catalogs.  Large Enterprises are constantly looking for ways to drive efficiencies and reduce costs. To do this, departments often deploy software to help manage functions and processes. However, this approach only works when the request or task can be completed within that department.

The reality is that many business processes expand across multiple departments. Simple examples include onboarding a new employee or requesting an office move. These requests can involve IT, HR, Finance, Facilities, Security, etc. Challenges arise as different departments utilize different tools that are not integrated. As a result the requestor is often left wondering which departments to coordinate with and which software tools to use to complete the task at hand.

PMG’s Service Catalog solves this problem by providing a single interface for any type of request from any department. The end user always knows where to go to make an interdepartmental request and the process is automatically and seamlessly fulfilled. Because PMG integrates into existing tools at the individual department level, all departments continue to leverage existing investments WITHOUT disruption. Working smarter.
