Incline Village, NV, October 21, 2019 (Newswire.com) – Jeff Rumburg, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of MetricNet, presented the Sunday morning keynote, ‘The Future of Service and Support – A Brave New World!’, at the 2nd Annual Service Excellence Conference for IT Service Leaders in Dubai. In the presentation, Mr. Rumburg used benchmarking data from the industry’s foremost support organizations to present a vision of the service organization of the future. He shared a variety of actionable insights, including the impact AI is having on ITSM, real-world examples of workable ITIL hacks, and how shift left is evolving to include a proactive seek-and-destroy capability.

“My goal for this keynote was to paint an uplifting, optimistic picture of service and support – one that is representative of unlimited opportunity.” said Jeff Rumburg. “I believe, for those that work in service and support, it is a brave new world in the most positive sense. There’s a convergence of people, process and technology today that represents an enormous opportunity for service and support professionals to bring their leadership to this industry and dramatically accelerate their careers.”

SDI’s Service Excellence Conference brought together hundreds of IT professionals from across the Middle East to network, listen and learn from industry leaders on the future of IT service, IT service management, digital transformation, continual improvement, ITIL4, and customer service excellence.
