Abstract
The project "Optimizing Enterprise Service Management through Integration with
IT Self-Service Portal" seeks to streamline the IT service request process and
improve enterprise service management's efficiency. To achieve this goal, the
existing enterprise service management system and IT self-service portal will be
evaluated, areas for improvement identified, and an integration plan developed,
tested, and reviewed by stakeholders. The current issue is that manual requests are
time-consuming and error-prone, which can lead to resource wastage.

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
1.5 Conclusion
1.1 Introduction
Our approach differs from previous work in that we will focus on the
unique needs and challenges of the government sector, such as the need for
security and compliance with government regulations. Additionally, our portal
will be designed to be highly customizable and flexible, allowing agencies to
tailor it to their specific needs and workflows. Finally, we plan to incorporate
machine learning and data analytics capabilities to provide insights into project
performance and identify areas for improvement. There have been several
OESMs developed for various industries, including the government sector. Some
of the commonly used platforms include Trello, Asana, and Basecamp. These
platforms offer features such as task tracking, collaboration tools, and project
management capabilities. However, these solutions are often not tailored
specifically to the needs of the government sector and may not provide the
necessary level of security and compliance required by government agencies.
The proposed method for achieving the objectives of this project is to use
a design thinking approach to understand the needs of end-users and
stakeholders, and to develop a comprehensive integration plan that meets their
needs. This approach will facilitate collaboration and ensure that the integration
plan aligns with organizational goals and objectives.
• What are the specific task management needs and challenges faced by
government agencies, and how can OESM be designed to address these needs
and challenges effectively?
• How can a user-centered design approach be applied to the
development of OESM for the government sector, and what are the key
considerations and best practices for this approach?
• What are the key features and functionalities required in OESM for the
government sector, and how can these be prioritized and implemented based
on user needs and preferences?
• What are the security and compliance requirements that must be met
in developing OESM for the government sector, and how can these be
incorporated into the design and development process?
• How can machine learning and data analytics be used to improve the
performance and effectiveness of OESM for the government sector, and what
are the key challenges and opportunities for integrating these capabilities?
Objectives:
Conduct an analysis of the current enterprise service management system and
IT self-service portal to identify areas for improvement.
1. To reduce the time, it takes to complete tasks by around 20% within the first
year of implementation.
2. To improve interdepartmental communication by providing a centralized
platform for task assignment, updates, and feedback.
3. To increase task completion rates by around 15% within the first six months
of implementation.
4. To provide real-time visibility into task progress and resource allocation for
better decision-making and resource management.
5. These objectives are specific, measurable, and time-bound, which makes it
easier to track progress and evaluate the success of OESM
6. To improve the efficiency, organization, and communication of tasks and
projects within the organization.
Here is another future objective for future features for OESM for a
government sector:
7. To increase the speed and accuracy of task completion by providing a
centralized platform for task assignment, updates, and feedback.
8. To improve communication and collaboration among team members and
departments, reducing delays and miscommunications.
9. To increase transparency and accountability in the task management
process, allowing managers to track progress and identify bottlenecks.
10. To provide real-time visibility into task progress and resource allocation for
better decision-making and resource management.
11. To improve data security and compliance by providing a secure platform for
task management and document sharing.
12. Develop a comprehensive integration plan that addresses the identified
challenges and fits the unique needs of each organization.
13. Implement the integration plan by integrating the IT self-service portal with
the enterprise service management system.
14. Configure Mail notification for all application related tasks, requests and
updated status.
15.Adding the SMS Gateway and configure the proper API to send SMS
notification to both Admins and users of system’s requests.
16.Integration with Active Directory (single-sign on) to have strong credentials
policies with password protection including event logs monitored.
17.Ensure the sustainability of the integrated system by providing ongoing
support and maintenance to address any issues that may arise.
Disseminate the findings and best practices of the project to the wider
community to promote the adoption of similar initiatives and advance the field
of enterprise service management.
The project timeline is tentatively set for 14 months, including four phases:
analysis and planning, design and development, testing and deployment, and
training and implementation. The success of this project relies on the effective
collaboration of different departments and stakeholders, the availability of
resources, and the ability to adapt to any changes or challenges that may arise
during the project's execution.
2.2 Background
2.4 Conclusion
2.2 Introduction
The history of enterprise service management can be traced back to the early
days of ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library), which was first
introduced in the 1980s as a set of best practices for IT service management.
ITIL focused on improving service delivery and customer satisfaction by
aligning IT services with business needs and providing a framework for service
management. Since then, enterprise service management has evolved to
encompass a broader range of services beyond IT, including human resources,
finance, and facilities management.
Task Management:
IT Self-Service Portals:
Trello: is a popular TMS that offers basic functionalities for task management.
It allows users to create boards, lists, and cards to manage their tasks.
However, Trello lacks advanced reporting and analytics features, which limits
its effectiveness for large organizations [5].
Asana: is another popular TMS that offers basic functionalities for task
management. It allows users to create tasks, assign them to individuals or
teams, and track progress. However, Asana lacks customizability, which limits
its effectiveness for complex workflows [6].
Todolist: is a task management tool that allows users to create tasks, set
deadlines, and prioritize them. However, Todolist lacks calendar integration,
which limits its effectiveness for managing schedules [7].
Despite the availability of these TMS products, there are still gaps and
challenges that exist in the field of enterprise service management. Many
organizations struggle with implementing TMS due to a lack of resources,
resistance to change, and inadequate training. Additionally, security and
compliance are critical considerations in the design and development of
enterprise service management systems, with the government sector being
one of the most targeted industries for data breaches.
2.4 Conclusion
The literature review identified several critical considerations for the design
and development of OESM for the government sector. Effective task
management, clear communication channels, and well-defined processes are
fundamental to the success of enterprise service management systems. IT self-
service portals can significantly improve the speed and quality of service
delivery while reducing costs, but their implementation requires careful
planning and integration with existing systems. Security and compliance are
critical considerations, with the government sector being one of the most
targeted industries for data breaches. Machine learning and data analytics
have the potential to significantly improve the performance of enterprise
service management systems, but their implementation requires skilled
personnel and integration with existing systems.
Overall, the literature review provides important insights into the design and
development of OESM for the government sector. By incorporating the key
concepts and best practices identified in the literature, we can develop a
scalable and sustainable task management solution that meets the specific
needs and challenges of the government sector. Additionally, the literature
review highlights the need for ongoing research and innovation in the field of
enterprise service management, as organizations continue to face new
challenges and opportunities in the digital age.
In conclusion, the literature review provides a solid foundation for the
development of OESM for the government sector, ensuring compliance with
security and regulatory requirements while providing a scalable and sustainable
task management solution. The insights gained from the literature review will
inform the development of the OESM prototype and ensure that it meets the
specific needs and challenges of the government sector.
