which represents a revolutionary process-based approach to ITSM by integrating processes that connect IT operations to application development.

“Serena has turned IT Service Management on its head by bringing a fresh solution to what was an otherwise stale market in terms of product innovation. Serena has effectively -closed the loop- between dev and ops by automating processes well beyond the simple break-fix realm, so both IT groups can be proactive in nature and in the end more successful.”
– David Hurwitz, Senior VP of Worldwide Marketing for Serena Software.
“We evaluated Serena Service Manager and it does exactly what we need it to do. It is extremely comprehensive and provides an interface that is both easy for us and customizable, when needed. The other products that we looked at were too rigid and didn-t offer the level of flexibility we required. Price and deep reporting capabilities also played an important role in our decision to go with Serena — the competition didn-t come close.”
– Quinn Lanus, Director of Technical Services and Operations, Institutional Asset Management, SunGard
“As our services are provided via an on-demand platform, the most important data for us to track at the service desk level is the time to categorize incidents and also the time to fix the problem. The Serena Service Manager solution lets us rapidly notify staff and escalate issues if this is required. Our service level agreements with customers are based on these metrics, so this is critical data for us to have. The implementation of the Serena solution has already delivered significant value to List Group as part of the company-s overall growth.”
– Flavio Mazzarotto, Head of Operations, List Group
