Case Trafi

Transparency and cost-efficiency for information administration support services through the Service Desk.

Solution benefits

  • Fully consistent operating methods and culture
  • Greater efficiency, through transparency and more manageability
  • Improved customer service through standardisation of the service level
  • Functionality for tracking and routing of support requests
  • Reporting that allows better measurement, management, and development of operations
  • A knowledge base making the best information accessible to everyone
  • More efficient time management and lower costs, since there is less need for local support

 
Digia directly provided Trafi with the Service Desk Management system, through which Trafi’s information administration support services have become more efficient, while the processes have become more transparent and customers are provided with smoother and higher-quality service.

Following the framework agreement signed by Digia Plc and Hansel Ltd, the Finnish Transport Safety Agency (Trafi) adopted the Service Desk Management system. This Digia solution is used for managing the processes related to the organisation’s internal and external service requests, events, changes, and configuration data processing.

Aiming for efficient processes and effortless monitoring

The objective of the system implementation was to increase the efficiency of information administration support service operations. Moreover, it was hoped that the adoption of a common process would assist in the advancement of the bureau, then still in its infancy.

More efficient operations mean less time spent on decision-making, more effective utilisation of resources, and more efficient process monitoring and steering, all enabled by improved reporting. Trafi required the system to support the ICT event management process it had specified. This process handles the service requests pertaining to workstations, phones, data traffic, applications, office technology, user IDs, and user rights received from internal Trafi customers.

Service requests may include customer fault notifications, support requests, queries, claims and complaints, and requests for measures. Moreover, ICT event management processes internally recorded and assigned service requests and tasks related to the above mentioned fields, along with information on the faults detected, problems, and deviations. In the first phase, the implemented system’s area of application was the processing of support and service requests related to workstations, phones, LAN services, and office applications. Supported by Digia, the customer specified its processes and the related requirements.

Implementation was rapid, and the goals were met

The specifications and implementation methods for the productised system, implemented in an earlier Palke SD project, as well as other SD systems implemented under the Hansel agreement, were utilised in the project. This enabled the inexpensive and reasonably easy implementation of a fully localised and versatile event management support system for the customer. The system is carefully tailored to the customer’s needs, meeting all the requirements introduced by the Trafi ICT event management process as well as other requirements specified for the system.

”The system, implemented in accordance with our vision, has fulfilled the goals determined for it. In the future, the solution will be expanded by, for instance, incorporating change management process support, which will further enhance and facilitate the work of the Trafi information administration. Moreover, the system can be easily adapted for other purposes than ones related to information administration. CA products support all processes that comply fully with ITIL standards, further arguing for their adoption in demanding organisations such as Trafi”, states Markku Kivistö from Digia.

Digia has in-depth expertise in the CA system, enabling localisation of the system and tailoring for very demanding requirements.
