ITSM dashboards built around the decisions, not the defaults
We start from the KPI set service-desk leaders actually manage on — MTTR, MTTA, first-call resolution, SLA attainment, backlog aging, change success rate — not whatever ServiceNow ships by default.
Tool-agnostic — delivered in Power BI or Tableau, whichever your team already standardised on.
A BI-native team, so the dashboards are designed to be read and acted on, not just technically correct.
ServiceNow delivery led by a 15-year platform veteran — the KPI logic is grounded in how the ITSM tables actually behave.
Past the Performance Analytics ceiling — the cross-cut, drillable views PA makes hard to build and distribute.

Our Offerings
Resolution & response (MTTR / MTTA)
Mean time to resolve and acknowledge, trended over time and cut by team, priority and category — the headline service-desk health view.
The ITSM dashboards we build most
The KPI set, and why each one matters
MTTR and MTTA tell you how fast the service desk resolves and acknowledges — the headline health metric. First-call resolution rate tells you whether tickets are being fixed at the front line or bounced between queues. SLA attainment (and breach risk) is the commitment you report to the business. Backlog aging shows where work is silently piling up before it becomes a fire. Change success rate and emergency-change ratio tell you whether change management is protecting the estate or rubber-stamping risk. We build these as one coherent dashboard set rather than six disconnected reports — this is the reporting layer that sits on top of our broader ServiceNow practice.
How we build them
We connect to your ServiceNow ITSM data — incident, problem, change and request tables — and model the KPI logic properly, so a metric like MTTR means the same thing on every page and matches what your ServiceNow reports say. Then we build the dashboards in Power BI or Tableau with drill-down (from the org-wide number to the team, to the individual ticket), the filters your managers actually use, and row-level security so each audience sees the right slice. If you want the integration mechanics rather than the KPI outcomes, that detail lives on our ServiceNow + Power BI integration page.
Who asks for this
IT service managers and IT Directors at mid-market companies (roughly 200-2,000 employees) who have ServiceNow ITSM running but cannot get a clean, trustworthy KPI view out of it — either because native reporting is too rigid, Performance Analytics is too limited or too costly, or nobody has ever modeled the metrics consistently. If leadership keeps asking 'are we actually hitting SLAs' and the honest answer is 'it depends who you ask', this is the fix.
KPIs modeled once, correctly, and read everywhere
We start from the KPIs, not the connector
MTTR, SLA attainment, FCR, backlog aging, change success — we build around the numbers service-desk leaders manage on, so the dashboard answers the actual question rather than showing whatever was easy to pull.
One definition of each metric
We model the KPI logic once so MTTR means the same thing on every page and matches your ServiceNow source numbers. No more 'it depends who you ask' when leadership questions a figure.
Power BI or Tableau — your choice
We deliver in whichever BI tool your team already standardised on. You are not forced onto a stack you do not use just because that is all the partner knows.
Grounded in the platform
ServiceNow delivery is led by a 15-year platform consultant, so the KPI logic reflects how the ITSM tables actually behave — not a generic template that breaks on your process.
