Modernizing IT Service Delivery for RNDC

Modernizing IT Service Delivery for RNDC

Situation

Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) faced significant challenges in their IT Operations department, which was struggling to modernize and mature their technology service delivery capabilities. The organization was responsible for delivering quality value-added services to the business while creating IT landscape transparency and cohesion across the enterprise. However, their IT department operated with immature, inefficient, and reactive service delivery processes. There was no centralized system for submitting, tracking, and reporting on work requests, and the traditional waterfall project methodology was too rigid to address immediate business needs quickly. The lack of structured service management was creating operational inefficiencies and limiting the IT department’s ability to demonstrate value to internal business customers.
