The IFDC and 4me, Inc. have signed a partnership relating to VeriSM™, the new service management approach for the digital age developed by the IFDC. 4me is an Enterprise Service Management (ESM) solution that enables seamless collaboration between internal, external and outsourced teams. There is a very strong link with VeriSM™, which helps organizations to integrate various practices and technologies to enable the delivery of consumer-centric services and products. The partnership will enable 4me to better support organizations in a business environment where outsourcing is more and more the norm.
Martijn Adams, General Manager EMEA at 4me:
“From the very beginning, the VeriSM™-approach appealed to me because it encompasses the whole organization, with the flexibility and customizability to support every stage of their digital transformation journey. Service Management has traditionally been considered as an ‘IT’ capability and this has proven to be a barrier in ensuring seamless integration of services across the enterprise. VeriSM™ will help us in supporting organizations to integrate their services in a way which matches their individual needs and situation. We have created specific VeriSM content in 4me that helps organizations quickly adopt the concept of VeriSM and receive its benefits.”
Sigrid Jansen, manager IFDC:
“We are very happy to welcome 4me as an IFDC partner, as 4me has been involved in VeriSM™-since the early beginnings and their focus on service integration is a very good fit with VeriSM™. The 4me solution recognizes that collaboration is key and that there is no ‘IT and the business’ anymore – since IT is always at the very heart of the business in the digital age. This holistic approach is similar to the VeriSM view of the world, where organizational capabilities work together to achieve desired business outcomes in line with consumer needs.”
