TORONTO and JOHANNESBURG , Sept. 3, 2024 -- SysAid, a global leader in Enterprise and IT Service Management solutions, is thrilled to announce that its partnership with BDO in South Africa, is gaining traction through its successful adoption of SysAid Copilot.
BDO South Africa's decision to replace its legacy ITSM platform with SysAid Copilot was driven by the innovative approach SysAid brings to ITSM, particularly its extensive use of generative AI across the platform. This underscores BDO's commitment to embracing cutting-edge technology to enhance service delivery and operational efficiency.
With the deployment of SysAid Copilot, BDO South Africa is now managing thousands of assets and has empowered dozens of administrators with advanced tools to streamline IT operations. The organization has already delivered improvements from SysAid's AI-driven capabilities, which have proven to deliver new value over their previous ITSM platform.
"BDO's strategy to deploy emergent solutions to improve business processes is supported by the implementation of SysAid ITSM and specifically, SysAid Copilot. This allows BDO internal teams to serve the business faster, provide more efficient engagement channels, and enhance automation," stated Nico Fourie, National ICT Director of BDO South Africa. "This is a step forward for BDO and our clients who partner with us to optimise their businesses. Additionally, BDO's Security and IT Governance teams are integrating ISMS (Information Security Management System) workflows and control tasks into the ITSM to support BDO's ISO 27001 certification control objectives, consolidating both ITSM and security management activities under a single unified service management platform."
"The innovative AI capabilities of SysAid Copilot coupled with its user-friendly interface is making a noticeable difference in our operations and we are eager to explore how SysAid can further enhance our services across departments, driving even greater value from IT and beyond." said Khaya Mbanga, Head of Digital Advisory at BDO South Africa. "Our decision to implement SysAid internally is a genuine reflection of our dedication to advancing our clients, community, and people."
Looking ahead, BDO South Africa plans to expand the use of SysAid beyond its IT department, leveraging the platform's versatility to support other departments within the organization. This expansion is a testament to the effectiveness of SysAid in driving efficiency and enhancing user experience.
"We are excited to have BDO South Africa on board as a strategic partner," said Gil Alter, Director of Channels & Alliances at SysAid. "Their decision to adopt SysAid and harness the same tools they deliver to the market is a powerful testament to their commitment. We are confident that this partnership will lead to significant improvements in IT operations, both within BDO and across the broader market they serve."
This partnership highlights SysAid's growing influence in the ITSM space and its ability to meet the needs of large, complex organizations like BDO South Africa. As SysAid continues to expand its footprint globally, strategic partnerships like this one play a critical role in delivering exceptional IT service management solutions to organizations worldwide.
