Mansystems

Mansystems is a European organization, with its headquarters in the Netherlands and offices in Germany and Poland, with over 140 employees. Mansystems lives and breathes service management in its broadest sense.

Mansystems was one of the first (1994) companies to recognize the value of combining best practices (e.g. ITIL) with real customer context workflows in service organizations.

ITIL and more

Over the years, we have developed the ability to deliver extensive automation with in service organizations, while preserving the unique competitive aspects.

Our approach
Service_Management_partnership

Do not be fooled by anyone telling you that your company is standard or that you should comply to standard only. It simply does not work that way. We have mastered the art of striking a perfect balance between standard accepted service processes and your specific way of running your business. Mansystems combines the best of both worlds in a professional, pragmatic approach. Read more

Customer connection

Service Management

Creator of Business Value

Over the past 10-15 years, service management has evolved from being a cost center to being a creator of business value. Mansystems has recognized this evolution and we have adapted our vision and strategy to help customers enable this shift in usage of service management. Especially with the arrival of ITIL 3, the full potential of service management as a business driver has become apparent.

Mansystems - Your Partner for Service Management

sm_img_1.jpgMansystems has years of experience in successfully implementing service management solutions in a variety of customer environments. We have been a well-appreciated partner for many well-known and respected companies. Mansystems believes in lasting relationships that benefit both parties. It is our goal to help companies evolve their service management strategy and bring it to a level, where it is indeed not a cost center but a creator of business value. The key is to understand the necessity to support the business side instead of having a pure IT focus. Our approach combines the best practice process framework of ITIL, with an experience-driven implementation approach, in order to deliver customer focused Business Service Management.

An excellent example of how Mansystems brings service management to the next level is the “Zero Touch” functionality. This functionality enables a customer to fully automate a pre-configured workflow. The underlying idea for this functionality is to manage exceptions and not the standard. Zero Touch provides a more efficient and effective service management.
