Offers self-service capability for customers and enables enhanced facility, IT, and network services management
Dallas, TX (April 18, 2013) –Global colocation solutions provider CyrusOne (:CONE, news) has launched the CyrusOne Service Advantage program, which unifies CyrusOne’s global organization—including employees and customers—behind a single IT service management (ITSM) platform that enables anytime, anywhere management of employee and equipment resources and services.
Customer requests for assistance and services will route from the online CyrusOne Service Advantage portal to the appropriate internal teams for follow-up. Similarly, CyrusOne employees can use the service to request IT department assistance, order new equipment, or prepare for employee onboarding.
The Service Advantage program seamlessly manages CyrusOne’s back-office operations, which includes architecture for incident, change management workflows. The goal is to use the online portal to bring better efficiency and improved customer relationships across multiple regions.
CyrusOne has partnered with BMC Software to commission the software as a service (SaaS) version of its Remedy-on-Demand platform, which was introduced globally earlier this year.
“We are pleased to have one ubiquitous platform to manage our facilities, IT, and network services work across our customer base,” said Michael Duckett, chief operations officer, CyrusOne. “The BMC platform offers a self-service capability that empowers customers to open their own tickets, request services from facilities, and track the status of these items online.”
“Sharing a system for both customer and employee needs will improve our reporting capabilities and drive opportunities for process improvement throughout our organization,” said Chris Opat, vice president, corporate IT systems, CyrusOne. “We are also pleased that CyrusOne technician Randy Abercrombie, who works in the Hamilton, Ohio, data center, coined the ‘CyrusOne Service Advantage’ name.”
