Story
Inside Olam, IT service management used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer staples groups working out of Singapore. IT and employees needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Olam uses Process HQ from Appian as the working layer for IT service requests. Appian is a process automation platform that combines low-code apps, data fabric, and robotic automation for operations teams. The practical change is simple: IT service management has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Olam gets from Appian is a durable place to run IT service management and a way for IT and employees to see the same IT service requests at the same time.
