Hello we’re Westbury

Page 5: A Practical Approach to Operational Reporting from HP Service Manager

– We are not satisfied with current ITSM reports

– I can’t extract the information from my Service Management tool

– Creating or modifying reports requires in depth technical database and developer skills. We don’t have that expertise in our company

– We want to focus on creating the reports, not understanding HP’s data model

– The canned reports that came with the tool are fine, but will not run on our configuration of the tool

– We have to hire experts for weeks and sometimes months to create the reports my management needs. Maintaining the reports will double the cost

– The need for ITSM reports is increasing…
