The system is utilized across the entire Johns Hopkins Enterprise for the ordering of services and software, incident reporting (Help Desk), intake of various processes, e.g. Contracts. It is used extensively by the IT@JH staff for incident management, problem resolution, change control, financial processes. The system is the repository for all IT services, information and service delivery. It sends out notifications regarding every application and workflow. It is complex in its integration with other IT infrastructure.
