Priming the innovation pump, maintaining the flow

KPMG helped a global oil and gas supermajor reimagine ITSM and position IT as strategic partner to the business.

Sector

Energy

Project

Information technology service management transformation

Client challenge

A global oil and gas supermajor saw its Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) function as a potential innovation engine, and wanted a faster, ongoing pipeline of new IT-enabled services. To enable progress, the organization needed to address its:

  • lack of IT alignment with the business strategy
  • viewpoint that IT was an inhibitor as opposed to an enabler
  • capacity to meet business demands
  • visibility into services and dependencies on infrastructure and applications
  • and change management enablers to facilitate employee adoption.

Striking Dramatic Change with ServiceNow

The goal: to complete a successful ITSM transformation—across 27 business units and 45 countries, within 7 months.

Approach

To prime the innovation pump, the company asked KPMG to work with their own IT professionals to complete a successful ITSM transformation—across 27 business units, 45 countries, and all within seven months. KPMG fused its Powered IT approach, organizational change management principles, managed services, ServiceNow cloud platform, and Microsoft Azure technology, while securing the enthusiastic endorsement of users. The KPMG team:

1

Used the KPMG Powered IT framework of prebuilt tools and methods to chart an accelerated implementation and future-phase roadmap.

2

Prioritized and enhanced end-user experience in the design and migration of the new ITSM self-service portal, from Remedy to ServiceNow.

3

Established the foundation for globally standardized approaches to back-office operations.

4

Designed an integrated platform to be the single place for all IT services and, potentially, all corporate services.

5

Aligned services to a catalog/portal designed for employees with a consumer-like experience.

6

Identified organizational change management as a critical success lever for process and technology transformation—conducting ServiceNow workshops for 2,000 participants, helping launch a global change-champion network, and managing a regular stream of communications.

7

Embedded capacities for continuous process improvement, platform administration, and capability expansion through the features of KPMG Powered Evolution.

We needed an IT refresh and we wanted a system that was much more customer focused.
