Report Highlights

Key Findings

COVID-19 has impacted organizations in many ways.  As they try to recover, Gartner highlighted that enterprises are looking to significantly reduce costs through a variety of both hard and soft cost savings methods.

Trends

  • Enterprises now expect preintegrated capabilities with the leading IT Service Management (ITSM) systems.  This capability continues to enable the use of seamless workflows and holistic management of TEM services.
  • TEM providers have invested in resources to further their platforms’ automation capabilities, as manual processes are too slow and can’t be scaled.  Gartner noted many enhancements regarding automated invoices, workflows, and vendor integration.
  • More than ever before, the dominant model for managing TEM is now a fully managed and outsourced TEM service delivered with cloud-based TEM applications. Many organizations that managed TEM internally are finding it near impossible to manage and control costs in such a constantly changing, complex environment.
