I think any organization that runs windows on their computers that is size over 50 workstations and looking for a complete package to manage their windows machines must have Microsoft System Center Service Manager, especially if they have Windows servers and VMs. The capability of managing multiple devices at ones can save a lot of time for the IT jobs.

We use the IT asset management module to great extent, would like to explore the RFID based tracking of assets integrated with Summit ITAM. Would like service requests workflows to be made flexible enough to support any kind of requests and easily route based on criteria's defined. This help in easy approval and reduce the time take for fulfilling the request and adhere to SLA

We selected MCSM because it is a solid product that we could use very quickly, compared to other tools there is a lot more effort for integration into the infrastructure, costing time and money. We implemented the tool very quickly and since it integrates with other Microsoft products, it was very easy to get up and running.
