HaloITSM has ticked all of the boxes for ECC and transformed their daily processes with an ITIL aligned, fully customisable system.
HaloITSM has ticked all of the boxes for ECC and transformed their daily processes with an ITIL aligned, fully customisable system. Features such as reporting dashboards and an agent and customer knowledge base have overhauled their internal management system.
The Electronic Chart Centre (ECC) is a centre of expertise for the collection, validation, distribution and visualisation of electronic charts and maps. Their vision is to contribute to greater safety and security, lower costs and enhanced efficiency at sea, and on land, by the rapid development of technology to meet their clients needs.
They play a key role in the development of new standards for electronic charts and derived products. From their headquarters in Stavanger, Norway, they serve a wide range of customers. Their focus is on providing innovative and flexible geodata services that are in tune with the times and the environment in which they are to be used.
Incorporating the ITIL framework and methodologies into their daily processes was the driving force behind ECC’s reason to find an alternative Service Desk solution. ECC needed a Service Desk solution which had Incident, Problem and Change Management as standard. Their previous system did not have ITIL methodology in place, lacked functionality and did not create reports. This caused issues when receiving service calls, impacted SLA times and customer satisfaction levels.
Aside from incorporating the ITIL framework, ECC had 3 top requirements to help solve their current challenges:
“Although just a small company, prior to HaloITSM we had limited information with regards to the number of service calls we were receiving, the category of the calls and the time it was taking to respond to our customers. We now have a much better overview of how the company is performing and we now have a more efficient way of dealing with our customers.”
As a smaller company with all 20 employees using the Service Desk and approximately 250-300 requests a month, ECC wanted a personalised, tailored experience so all staff and teams could get on board quickly and easily. After searching for the best solution for them, they found HaloITSM ticked all of their boxes.
Aside from best in class functionality, ECC enjoyed the look and feel of HaloITSM and how easy it was to use. On top of this, the ability to customise the look and feel of their Service Desk portal with their logo and colours in order to make the portal align with their branding was an added benefit for ECC.
During implementation, HaloITSM was there to support ECC from start to finish, making the process as straightforward as possible. When an issue arose with emails duplicating when coming into the system, HaloITSM was quick to act by setting up new rules to allow emails to come through without duplication.
“The HaloITSM team were always on hand to help with any problems we encountered and were quick to resolve any issues. As with anything new, it takes a few weeks to get used to the system and a new way of doing things – but overall HaloITSM has been an easy transition.”
Whilst still in the early stages, ECC have greatly benefited from HaloITSM providing the tools to follow ITIL best practices. They have reported an improved way of working by standardising and streamlining their processes.
Creating and analysing reports was a top requirement for ECC. They can now share a live view of all projects on the go, which has led to increased clarity and visibility. As this dashboard updates automatically, they can now keep track of all projects and has made resource spend transparent.
With a knowledge base now available, ECC have been able to build articles for internal and external use. By turning solutions into articles and creating dedicated content, they have been able to increase productivity and efficiency. For example, they have created “canned text” when responding to repeat queries, saving time and automating repetitive tasks.
Overall, HaloITSM has helped ECC transform their processes. “The system has helped us in all areas including time, productivity and money.” – Kelly Huitson – Service Delivery at ECC. In the future, ECC are planning to integrate some of their systems such as Mantis to help track Development Cases.
“The support provided by the team at HaloITSM has been excellent, the system itself is easy to use and the development team are quick to add new features and take on suggestions for future releases”.
With the wisdom of hindsight, would ECC change anything? Kelly Huitson recounts “the only thing we would have changed, and would still like to, would have been to consolidate our contact details into one as we currently have five support email accounts. This would, and will, make for a more efficient Service Desk”. With top support provided, HaloITSM will be there to guide ECC through this change.
“The team at HaloITSM have been brilliant. They have answered all our queries and set up our Service Desk to meet our requirements. Any suggestions for new or improved functionality has been passed along to the development team for possible integration in new releases.”
The relationship has only strengthened since ECC welcomed HaloITSM into their organisation and we are looking forward to continuing the close relationship over the coming months and years.
