We have a whole team focused on our SAP implementation at Yorkshire Water. Part of making Service Desk a single service solution is preparing for these types of transitions, so I’m currently working with that team to have an integration ready for our SAP go-live. We’ll update our solutions, update ...our portal, and update our processes so this shift has a minimal impact on the day-to-day.
