Enterprise Service Management

IT gets measured. Other areas often don't.

HR, finance, facilities, and shared services all run cases through your ITSM platform. HappySignals asks the people in those fields about their experience, with the same surveys, targets, and reporting you already use for IT.

A decision

Why is the UK AP desk so far behind the US?

Speed. It's the weakest experience driver in finance at +14, and the UK desk takes longest on expense reimbursements. A third of unhappy employees also say the instructions were hard to understand. Fix the expense process and its guidance in the UK first.

Why HappySignals

A +49 in finance means what a +49 means in IT.

Six things that turn case reports into Experience Intelligence for every business service.

One measure across every service

IT, HR, finance, and facilities answer the same short survey, so a +49 in finance means the same as a +49 in IT. For the first time the services can be compared, by service and by country.

Why, not just what

Employees pick the reasons behind their score, the same Experience Indicators you use for IT. In finance the answer is rarely the answer itself. It's the speed, the instructions, and explaining the case twice.

Lost time, in every function

Employees say how much work time a case cost them. Finance scores highest in the benchmark and still costs the most time per ticket. A score and lost time have to be read together.

A target for every service

Pick a service and set a target for it. HR, finance, and facilities targets work exactly like the ones you set for IT, and the provider sees the same number you do.

The same ITSM platform

If a business service already runs on ServiceNow or BMC Helix, the survey goes out from the case you already have. No new tool for HR or finance to learn.

Keep what you have

Case reports say closed. Your people say how it actually went.

Your service desk tool knows the case was closed on time. Your annual engagement survey knows people are unhappy with "internal services". Neither tells HR or finance what to change next week.

Which finance desk costs people the most time?

Accounts payable, payroll, expenses, and collections all run through the finance desks. The same question after every case shows which desk, which country, and which system the frustration sits in.
