Professional Services

In Axians, we are aware that finding the right people for the project is crucial for success of your business. Therefore, we are here to provide you with our services for your short/long term project, consisting of the skilled specialists of all levels and their knowledge and skills to ensure the best outcome for your business.

With the introduction of new, complex IT solutions and the implementation of digital & security strategies, many companies are reaching their limits. One of the reasons is that it is not possible to solve every challenge in the same way. It is necessary to create new procedures that flexibly respond to current market trends.

The model of external resources usage was originally designed mainly for one-off projects. However, given the current labor market situation and the long-term lean staffing models, it is increasingly used for long-term cooperation as well.

For both types of situations, Axians can offer adequate and effective solutions as a stable partner.

At Axians, we can help you with managing your projects.

IT Service Management (ITSM) – what we really do if say we are implementing ITSM?

IT Service Management covers overall lifecycle of IT Services. Lifecycle management is performed by an organization to design, plan, deliver, operate and control IT services that are offered to the customer.

Or to put it another way, ITSM is a methodology that comprises of set of the best practices. A popular motto says “adopt and adapt”, hence each company should use and tweak parts of the methodology that make sense in context of their scope, complexity and customer/business needs.

The customer is important here, as the methodology revolves around what creates added value to customers by using process approaches with an emphasis on continual improvement.

Analysis of current processes and their improvement implementation
Delivery and operation of various ITSM processes (e.g. Service Request, Service Catalog, Problem, Incident, Risk, Change, Demand, Capacity, Service Level Management, etc.)
