There are many IT service management (ITSM) webinars available to ITSM pros. Some ITSM webinars are great and some not so much, but this is the same with anything in life as well as ITSM. When ITSM.tools is asked to participate in an ITSM webinar, we try our best to offer as much related ITSM data and advice as possible. So, we think we do a good job, but ultimately it’s up to you as the webinar viewer.
This “living” article has been created as a handy resource that lists the ITSM webinars we’ve participated in since 2021. It’ll be regularly updated during 2022 with new webinars as needed. The webinar-based text is taken from the respective landing pages.

Service Desk Consolidation Webinar with BeyondTrust (July 2021)
It’s not unusual for organizations, especially those that have grown through mergers and acquisitions, to have multiple service desk tools. Each is used by a different team, in different locations, and perhaps using different service and support practices. But how great is this?
First, for employees who receive different service experiences, including needing to use different self-service capabilities. Second, for the organization – not only in terms of the associated costs of running multiple service desk tools but also the inherent inefficiencies of fractured operations and tooling.
Coverage includes how:
- The use of multiple service desk tools is adversely affecting your corporate service and support capabilities
- Service desk consolidation helps, including with digital transformation initiatives
- To create a consolidation vision of “one service desk tool to rule them all.”
