Numara Software, Inc, a global leader in service management and asset management solutions for IT professionals, today announced that its award-winning Numara FootPrints IT service desk management solution is one of the first IT service management solutions to achieve ITIL verification from Pink Elephant by its PinkVERIFY 3.1 program.
Numara FootPrints has been verified as compatible with 10 ITIL processes through this latest certification. As IT service management (ITSM) adoption increases and expands in complexity, IT organisations continue to leverage ITIL to improve efficiency and cost management and standardise service lifecycle processes.
To do this effectively, they require tools that support their process improvement initiatives. Tools must enable them to quickly implement the ITIL best practice framework with the means they have and demonstrate clear value in their businesses. Numara FootPrints is a proven solution that helps organisations achieve these objectives with ITIL.
“We are pleased to recognise that Numara FootPrints has passed our rigorous assessment to achieve PinkVERIFY 3.1 verification for 10 ITIL processes,” said Pink Elephant President David Ratcliffe. “This means Numara FootPrints has satisfied PinkVERIFY's general, core and integration process assessment criteria and it has met the latest ITIL process compatibility requirements.”
Numara FootPrints received PinkVERIFY verification in 10 core ITIL framework processes: incident management; problem management; request fulfilment; change management; knowledge management; release and deployment management; service asset and configuration management; service catalogue management; service level management; and service portfolio management.
Pink Elephant is the world's leading IT service management education and consulting provider. The PinkVERIFY program is a service that objectively assesses a software tool's verification on general, core and integration suitability requirements for ITIL processes.
“Our goal is to deliver practical and flexible solutions that support industry best practices. We are pleased that Numara FootPrints has been verified with the latest ITIL standards through Pink Elephant's PinkVERIFY program,” said Elisabeth Cullivan, Numara Software product marketing manager. “We've seen many customers around the world adopt ITIL. They tell us it is vital that they have a way to implement their processes that doesn't require huge, long-term investments and they need to see quick results. That's why Numara FootPrints gives customers the path to implement ITIL without the complex administration or lengthy professional service engagements required with other tools in the market.”
Whether moving to ITIL for the first time or advancing to expanded processes, it makes sense for IT organisations to implement an integrated solution or solution suite to support ITIL initiatives - as ITIL processes are interdependent. Many service management tools in the market offer compatibility, but the differences lie in how the tools do it and what it takes to implement, manage and customise them. Flexibility, usability, time and cost to implement, and product support can vary greatly from vendor to vendor. With Numara FootPrints, IT organisations are no longer hindered by costly and time consuming ITIL implementations. Numara FootPrints delivers highly integrated, comprehensive service management capabilities that work together and are designed for easier administration, extensive configuration without programming and faster implementation.
Numara FootPrints provides signature and extensive workflow automation, combined with built-in templates, to guide and speed process start-up and helps organisations make live production a cost-efficient reality today. The paramount flexibility and ITIL support offered by Numara FootPrints help organisations align IT with business objectives. IT can adopt the ITIL processes that are most important to their businesses in a stepped, modular approach that makes sense for their priorities and at a pace that works for them. Comprehensive, customisable reporting and metrics provide visibility to results and help justify IT service value to the business. Numara FootPrints is offered on-premise or as a hosted or SaaS solution.
