84% of IT leaders in manufacturing state that they do not have a fully optimized IT service desk and are seeking improved ITSM maturity.
TeamDynamix powers a diverse customer community.
Data from InformationWeek’s State of ITSM in Manufacturing Report shows that while manufacturers are making great progress on maturing their ITSM systems and processes, they’ll soon face headwinds if they don’t digitally transform ITSM the way they are on their factory floors.
51% of IT leaders in manufacturing have not refreshed their ITSM platform in 5+ years.
As ticket volume continues to rise, there is an increased focus on automation.
65% have not expanded for true ESM yet 41% state this is a top initiative.
The good news is that the vast majority of manufacturers have
at least some level of ITSM systems and processes in place. Only a very slim margin of them (3%) say they’re at low maturity with nothing in place. However, there’s also definitely room for growth. Just 16% say they have very high maturity with best-in-class service delivery for their IT functions. The areas that need the most improvement include enterprise data integration and project intake.
For many, modernization is challenged due to the manual processes have calcified around the limitations of old systems and IT staffers are further burdened with the maintenance necessary just to keep their platform creaking along.
If the platform can handle custom automation, these older systems tend to require deep technical resources to do something like creating a new workflow, custom form, integration or automation.
This kind of intensive work calls for a no-code platform that cuts through that skills barrier so anyone in the IT department can easily create a form, drag a new field, or otherwise upgrade the workflow based on changing business needs.
While most manufacturers today have project intake, prioritization, and review processes in place within their existing ITSM strategy, this
is another area ripe for improvement through modernization.
Even though this is the most-cited best practice already in place, 36% of organizations still don’t have it. That’s probably because some 59% of manufacturers say they lack the ability to manage all the work—ITSM
and project management—on one platform. The same percentage say they don’t have a place to monitor project risks, and approximately
56% don’t have Project Portfolio Management (PPM) in place.
The rapid proliferation of mission-critical IoT systems on the factory floor and across the supply chain has caused increasing pressure on the
shoulders of IT to properly service equipment and troubleshoot.
They also raise the stakes on speedy ITSM delivery, as IT systems become more intricately tied up in manufacturers’ core mission of keeping factory processes continuously running.
44% say they do tasks like name change updates, on/off-boarding, and more without automation .
69% have a portal yet only 33% would say that the portal is effective for self-service.
56% of organizations say that digital transformation of the IT Service Desk — including integration of data and workflow— is critical in the next 12 to 24 months.
The automation capabilities in TeamDynamix are far above anything I’ve used before.

Inefficiencies are being caused by some of the biggest ITSM challenges faced today in manufacturing.
The top challenge in ITSM came up as a tie: “Lack of resources/ high ticket volumes” was in a dead heat with “excessive manual processing / insufficient automation”. In both instances, 44% said this was one of their top challenges. So, what can be automated? Where do you begin?
