    Value Proposition
    The Project connector for Service Manager addresses 2 key challenges faced by organizations that employ both project management and service management technologies:

    1- The time required to transform a task from a planning activity to an implementation activity can be excessive due to lack of integration between systems.

    2- The time required to report back on completed tasks from operational systems into project management systems can be excessive and therefor delay the initiation of subsequent tasks.

    Both challenges exist today due to the general lack of integration between project management solutions and operational systems, the connector announced today is the first of a series of products planned by Expit to address these challenges.

    • Resource assignment from within service manager defined resources
    • CI's are appended under description field of tickets generated
    • Change request number is added into the task as a separate column
    • Upon closure of change request, task is market as 100% complete in the Project plan
