It was 1998, and Claire Lewis (Yum) Arnold, the future CEO of Leapfrog Services, was seated at her dining room table, discussing an all-too-common problem with her partner. A critical networking issue had arisen, but the only person with the information and expertise to resolve it—the IT guy—was unavailable. Frustration bubbled over, and a simple yet transformative thought struck her. There had to be a better way. This moment sparked the idea that would become Leapfrog Services, founded later that year to grow into one of the first providers to offer remote IT management services. Meeting Mid-Market IT and Security Needs Leapfrog’s journey began as an IT infrastructure and end-user support services provider. Over time, it expanded into hardware and software as a service (HaaS / SaaS), private/public cloud services and co-management offerings to mid-sized businesses. While security was always woven into its approach, Leapfrog invested to broaden its capabilities to include cybersecurity governance, risk and compliance (GRC).

Elevating IT Services with Advanced Technologies
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into IT service management (ITSM) frameworks marks a notable technology trend in 2024, profoundly transforming the delivery and management of IT services. Enhanced by AI, ITSM tools now automate routine tasks, provide predictive insights and expedite service delivery, substantially minimizing downtime and enhancing user satisfaction. These AI-driven analytics tools also support proactive management by forecasting potential service disruptions and suggesting preventative actions, ensuring continuous system reliability and operational efficiency.

Accompanying this trend is the widespread adoption of ITSM tools tailored to support remote and hybrid work environments. As organizations continue to adjust to post-pandemic work structures, ITSM solutions have evolved to ensure seamless connectivity and robust security across distributed networks. There’s an increasing focus on mobile-first service management applications, empowering users with self-service capabilities and access to IT support from any device, anywhere. This shift not only enhances flexibility and boosts employee productivity but compels traditional ITSM strategies to incorporate comprehensive cybersecurity measures and endpoint management, ensuring data integrity and regulatory compliance regardless of the user’s location.
Driven by these trends, the global IT service management market, valued at $10.5 billion in 2023, is projected to reach $22.1 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 15.9 percent.
