Transition & Go Live

Critical to the success of an Enterprise Service Desk engagement and cut-over is the proper onboarding of a client’s Service Desk. At WBM we call this Great from Day 1.

GETTING STARTED

As part of the transition process and set up, WBM will begin the discovery and requirements gathering process.

This entails the following procedures:

  1. Identifying and catalog all current Knowledge Base documentation relating Services processes and procedures
  2. Creating a single source location for all KB documentation ideally within the enterprise ITSM solution.
  3. Completing a “service gap analysis” where WBM identifies all current process and procedures gaps with the expectation that each gap is analyzed and documentation is created by following a questionnaire created by WBM.
  4. An ongoing process and policy is put in place to continually update the Standard Operating Procedures and Knowledge Base.

WBM will assign a change management certified project manager to oversee the implementation and execution of the Great From Day 1 transition.  Each stage includes a series of Activities and Quality Gate Controls.
