Join us as we discuss our wild journey in transitioning the US Army's multiple on premise ITSM systems to one Enterprise cloud based ITSM system servicing over 1.2 million customers worldwide, how we accomplished this in one year and under budget and where we are now. Learn about the strategies and frameworks we used, coalition building with the willing and unwilling, identifying and communicating your customer bases, the challenges of integrating and operating commercial products in a high IT cyber security environment, as well as how we built a service desk culture by design and not by chance.
