Beyond IT

Enterprise service management (ESM) applies the service desk model IT already uses to every team that fulfils requests: HR, facilities, finance, legal, procurement and administration. Workdeft implements Freshservice ESM for organisations across the GCC, giving employees one portal and every department a workspace with its own catalogue, SLAs and approvals.

What ESM looks like in practice

An employee joins the company: HR raises onboarding, which triggers IT to provision a laptop and accounts, facilities to allocate a desk and badge, and finance to set up payroll, all tracked from one request with approvals and SLAs. ESM makes that routine instead of an email chain.

  • One employee portal for IT, HR, facilities, finance and admin requests
  • Departmental workspaces with separate agents, catalogues and reporting
  • Cross-team workflows such as onboarding, offboarding and relocations
  • Approvals in Microsoft Teams, Slack or email
  • Knowledge base and Freddy AI self-service for every department

How Workdeft implements ESM

We start with IT, because an ITSM foundation that works is the fastest route to ESM credibility, then onboard departments one at a time with their own catalogue design workshop. Each department gets a workspace in Freshservice, trained fulfilment agents and a reporting pack.

FAQ

ITSM covers the services IT delivers to employees. ESM extends the same service desk model, with a catalogue, SLAs, approvals and a portal, to other departments such as HR, facilities and finance.
