Samanage Service Desk, Enterprise Edition, available on the Salesforce AppExchange at https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000EOGWVUA5, manages IT service interactions in one place to deliver a unified experience to employees. By providing a solution that is intuitive to use, that leverages Salesforce technology, and can be shared across all departments, enterprise organizations gain actionable intelligence, peak efficiency and service success. Through automating manual business processes like an IT ticket, an HR onboarding service, or a facilities power outage, organizations can leverage one single solution for all employee ticket management.

“At Salesforce Ventures, we’re fueling the next generation of innovative technology within the Salesforce ecosystem,” said John Somorjai, EVP of Corporate Development and Salesforce Ventures, Salesforce. “With companies like Samanage, we can extend the power of the Salesforce platform, making our customers even more successful.”

The new Samanage Service Desk, Enterprise Edition, offers usability driven by the Salesforce Lightning experience, the Salesforce Platform and real-time communication channels for employees. Unlike traditional IT service management platforms that often lack user-friendly interfaces, Samanage Service Desk, Enterprise Edition, allows companies to treat their employees like their best customers. Employees can get IT and HR help when, where, and how they want it, while service providers continuously improve customer satisfaction and efficiency.

Samanage Service Desk, Enterprise Edition, can be enhanced with Samanage IT Asset Management, Enterprise Edition.
