While these high-level objectives are universal, at the agency, department, and office level, the day-to-day use cases vary broadly. This, in addition to the discrete nature of the work being done, the necessarily stringent security parameters, and the layers of network access that must be addressed, have given rise to a situation in which a large and diverse range of solutions are in use to execute day-to-day administrative and operational practices.
These agencies, departments, and offices need a more integrated approach, one that is flexible enough to support a broad range of needs, creates visibility and collaboration when necessary, and supports granular permissions that limit access to data.
For many of these use cases, Jira Service Management (JSM), is one such solution. JSM, which is part of the Atlassian platform, is a powerful, best-in-class ITSM solution that is flexible enough to meet the needs of the IT service desk, as well as many other offices that deliver services or need to collaborate with the IT service desk. In addition, it has built-in, comprehensive asset management functionality powerful enough to track and manage all types of assets, including software, hardware, and specialized equipment.
