Effectively managing the technology needs of more than 5,000 city employees, including employees that utilize technology in the field, requires the right combination of people, processes and technology. Business Systems Manager Dusty Borchardt said Oklahoma City has a top-notch IT team and well-defined processes, but the city government lacked an IT Service Management (ITSM) platform that would allow it to become a fully mature IT organization – that is, until they discovered TeamDynamix.

From the lone hacker to nation-state operatives, government agencies from the Federal level down to local municipalities are under constant threat of a cyberattack. In recent years, the Federal government has responded by sharing guidance and information, but that only takes budget-strapped state and local government entities so far.
As state and local governments kick off digital transformation initiatives, many find their existing IT Service Management (ITSM) tool presents a stumbling block. Fortunately, more modern, codeless ITSM platforms provide the necessary capabilities for success – combining Project Portfolio Management (PPM), Enterprise Service Management (ESM) as well as integration and automation (iPaaS) in one platform.
Read how local governments use Enterprise Service Management (ESM) and iPaaS to improve service delivery for citizens and streamline processes like onboarding and offboarding for employees.
Public sector IT leaders are developing what experts call an “automation-first mentality” and turning to automation to improve customer satisfaction and reduce the amount of time IT shops spend on repetitive manual tasks.
Following an increase in fraud during the COVID-19 pandemic, state and local government (SLG) organizations are sharpening their focus on identity and access management (IAM) to fend off cybersecurity threats.
As state and local governments continue to modernize, many are making the switch to codeless service management platforms that can integrate with automation tools like iPaaS. Not only do these types of tools offer great flexibility, but they also often have a lower total cost of ownership. Here are two stories from local governments who recently made the switch.
IT leaders struggle to find enough resources to meet demand, meanwhile, highly qualified technicians are spending 2-3 months a year on manual tasks that can be automated. Anyone working the helpdesk in IT can tell you they spend a lot of time handling requests for things like password resets, name changes, onboarding, and other common IT ticket requests.
Did you know the average IT worker spends up to 10 hours a week – that’s one whole financial quarter per year – on completing manual tasks that should be automated? These are tasks like onboarding and offboarding users, name changes, department changes, password resets, etc.
