Adding Experience Management at the Heart of IT

HappySignals

Sami Kallio, CEO and Founder
The conundrum of ‘getting work done vs. doing it right’ is not new in the corporate sector. It has been a long-standing dilemma that concerns many C-suite executives. And this dichotomy becomes all the more contrasting in the ITSM arena.

Over the past few years, there has been an increasing trend of digitalizing internal business processes. Organizations are generally of the idea that just adding digital tools and capabilities to replicate their workflows in a virtual realm would be sufficient to be a digitally-driven entity. What these businesses fail to realize is that they also need to ensure a seamless employee experience of their IT projects, so that the endeavour is well-received among internal teams. Only then can they unleash the full potential of technological innovation.

According to Sami Kallio—the renowned thought leader in the ITSM arena and CEO of HappySignals—before any decision is made on a project or service implementation, organizations must decide on the outcome. This outcome needs to be focused on how a new service or project can add value to the end-user and essentially the business.

This breaks the mould of using fixed service-level agreements (SLA), which traditionally focus on budgets, project delivery times or ticket resolution. Businesses now need to focus on the overall outcome and value of their internal IT projects, thus needing a new way of measurement metrics; the XLA (experience level agreements). XLA’s are an effective way of measuring employees’ experience with internal digital solutions and services.

Kallio, however, notes that many IT leaders are struggling to properly incorporate the philosophy of experience management and XLAs within their organizations. Luckily, that’s precisely where HappySignals help businesses focus on the employee experience of their IT tickets and incidents. With the company’s employee experience management platform, along with experience measurement tools, clients can take a more proactive step toward end-user and outcome centric IT operations.

“Our target is to help our clients change their organizational culture and be more end-users centric,” highlights the CEO.

Businesses can instantly integrate HappySignals’ employee experience management platform with their existing ITSM tool in a matter of minutes. HappySignals’ platform measures employee experience across IT and allows you to drill-down into reasons of why something is happening. As a result, organizations can gain real insight into why their end-users are unhappy with specific areas of IT; for example, why VPNs are affecting employees’ productivity negatively.

“We make employee experience data visible, understandable, and connected to operational data in IT, enabling enterprises to change their culture to be more open, outcome-focused, and data-driven,” enthuses Kallio. A company’s overall scores can be weighed against HappySignals’ Happiness Score™ Benchmark data, which includes three million end-user responses from over 130 countries. It, therefore, allows businesses to gauge and improve their employee experience at par industry standards.

In September 2020, HappySignals secured an investment of €4.7m. This investment underlines the belief that HappySignals is driving a change that others also believe in. Not only is the company offering customers support, but they are also aiming to educate and spark conversation in the ITSM arena through their frequent webinars and HappyToday podcast.

Moving ahead with such an all-round, holistic approach, HappySignals is now poised to drive employee experience further, helping their customers improve their reputation of IT.

Helsinki—HappySignals, the Human-Centric IT Experience Management company, and CTMS Service Management Ltd. have launched a new HappySignals integration with Ivanti Neurons for ITSM.

The new Proactive integration builds on the existing HappySignals Ticket-Based Survey integration developed by CTMS for Ivanti Neurons for ITSM. The combined Proactive and Ticket-based analytics will provide IT teams with the best actionable customer experience data to drive ITSM and service delivery improvements.

David Keen, Technical Services Director at CTMS Service Management, commented, “I am delighted to build on the success of our collaboration with HappySignals. Combining IT Experience data with operational data gathered from Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is an essential step in achieving service excellence. Common benefits reported by customers include identifying key training issues, creating better knowledge articles and gaining the ability to set targets and measure performance improvements more easily, as part of a continual service improvement plan.”

Katie Bates, VP Global Partnerships and Alliances, HappySignals said, “CTMS Service Management has a rich heritage with the Ivanti product line going back many years. The integration with Ivanti Neurons for ITSM makes it even easier for HappySignals customers to unlock granular insights into the root causes of areas of dissatisfaction. CTMS has proven experience of working with IT leaders to develop and deliver a continual service improvement plan to address these issues.”

CTMS Service Management is an Ivanti Certified Solution Partner with extensive Ivanti Neurons for ITSM integration experience. It has seen customers benefit from a seamless integration between Neurons for ITSM and HappySignals. This provides the ability to capture insightful end-user experience data alongside Neurons for ITSM operational data, thus enabling IT teams to focus on where and how to improve IT services. This level of end-user insight has previously been unavailable through traditional methods of user surveys or CSAT scores.

HappySignals experience data helps CTMS to work collaboratively with organisations to target specific process improvements and build a continual improvement programme.


Helsinki-based HappySignals raises €12 million aiming to transform IT decision-making with human-centric data and AI

Monday, April 29, 2024

Based in Helsinki, HappySignals, a Human-Centric IT Experience Management company founded in 2014 secures a €12 million round led by Mandatum Asset Management and with participation from existing investors Nauta and Vendep Capital. The investment will fuel sales, marketing, and product development for global expansion in the growing IT Experience Management (ITXM) market.



HappySignals is helping organizations transform their IT and Services to become more human-centric by leveraging employee experience data and AI. This allows them to make informed decisions and focus on what truly matters. By prioritizing employee happiness and productivity, organizations save money and drive increased business value. Companies like PepsiCo, Fujitsu, and Reckitt transform their IT to a value creator by focusing on delivering services that enhance business operations and employee experiences.



Sami Kallio, CEO and co-founder of HappySignals, said: “IT organization’s primary role is enhancing efficiency and satisfaction across the entire organization through effective IT support and tools. Historically, IT has concentrated on technical and process metrics, which essentially measure how IT functions rather than the value it creates or could potentially create.” Continuing with: “In IT language, we are talking about moving away from SLAs (service level agreements) and starting to focus on XLAs (experience level agreements). IT should continue to measure the traditional metrics, but the three pillars of IT—People, Process, and Tech—should always be considered in that order. This is where we help IT organizations gather and analyze employee experience data to make better decisions.”



Rami Salonen, Investment Manager, Mandatum Asset Management said: “We are thrilled to have led the funding round in HappySignals, which will enable a further acceleration of their international growth journey. With its human-centric approach, we believe that HappySignals has found a solution to a problem that has not been solved in the market before. Indeed, their blue-chip customers are a true testimony to the quality of their approach and solution. The investment in HappySignals is an excellent addition to our second vintage growth equity fund. We are excited to partner with the founders, management and other owners to accelerate the growth of the company’s already significant international operations.”
