Nimsoft Service Desk is a cost-effective SaaS solution with built-in ITIL®-based best practices and the ability to adapt service management workflows to a customer’s specific needs.  The solution can readily be configured without the cost and complexity associated with traditional code-based customization, enabling customers to more quickly achieve results and gain value.

“With Nimsoft Service Desk, we can rapidly respond to any changes in our computing environment or our IT service portfolio,” said Steve Villalpando, Manager of IT Governance and Service Delivery at Virginia Farm Bureau. “It is also very easy to re-configure—on the fly, without scripting—so new users can become productive without extensive training.”

Virginia Farm Bureau has been able to improve the consistency and quality of its service by using Nimsoft Service Desk and applying service levels to the fulfillment process.  It has also reduced costs by decreasing the amount of time and resources allocated to completing audits.

“Nimsoft Service Desk and its built-in support for ITIL-based processes and advanced reporting features have helped us slash audit costs by 50 percent while improving audit accuracy,” said Villalpando. “Additionally, as a SaaS solution that we don’t have to manage ourselves, it reduces our infrastructure and operating expenses.”

“Nimsoft delivers leading IT management solutions, without high infrastructure and ownership costs,” said Mark Frost, general manager, Nimsoft Solution Group.  “Nimsoft Service Desk is an ideal solution for organizations like Virginia Farm Bureau that have tight budgets but still require a strong ITIL-based service desk solution.”
