Modern IT teams are under growing pressure to deliver faster, more reliable services while aligning closely with evolving business goals. Traditional ITSM tools often fall short in meeting the demands of agility, automation, and collaboration.
That's where Jira Service Management, built on the Atlassian platform, stands out. Known for its speed, flexibility, and seamless integration with agile and DevOps practices, it's rapidly becoming the preferred ITSM solution for high-performing teams.
In this blog, we explore why forward-thinking organizations are adopting Jira Service Management as their new standard—and how it's transforming IT service delivery across industries.
2. How Modern IT Teams Are Adopting Jira Service Management as Their Standard
The shift toward Jira Service Management represents a fundamental change in how IT teams approach service management. Unlike traditional ITSM solutions that enforce rigid processes, modern teams are embracing JSM for its adaptability and alignment with contemporary work practices.
Key adoption drivers include:
Organizations report 40% faster incident resolution times and 60% improvement in team collaboration after implementing JSM. The platform's intuitive design reduces training time while its powerful automation capabilities free up valuable resources for strategic initiatives.
Traditional ITSM tools were designed for a different era—one where IT operated in isolation and change happened slowly. Today's digital landscape demands something entirely different.
Traditional ITSM | Jira Service Management | Impact |
Rigid process enforcement | Flexible workflow customization | 50% faster process adaptation |
Siloed department focus | Cross-functional collaboration | 35% improvement in team efficiency |
Complex setup and maintenance | Cloud-native, simple deployment | 75% reduction in setup time |
The platform's open API ecosystem allows for unlimited customization possibilities, making it suitable for everything from small startups to enterprise-level deployments.
Enterprise IT environments require robust, scalable solutions that can handle complex workflows while maintaining security and compliance standards. JSM delivers on all fronts:
Core Enterprise Features:
Security and Compliance:
These features work together to create a comprehensive ITSM solution that scales with enterprise needs while maintaining the agility that modern teams require.
Speed without sacrificing quality is the hallmark of modern IT service delivery. JSM enables this through intelligent automation and streamlined workflows.
Acceleration strategies:
Real-world implementation example:
A global retail giant transformed its fragmented IT support and request operations by partnering with Empyra’s expert ITSM consulting services to implement Jira Service Management.
By consolidating multiple intake systems into a single unified portal, Victoria’s Secret significantly improved collaboration across development, infrastructure, and support teams. Intelligent routing, dynamic forms, and permission-based workflows enabled smoother triage and reduced resolution times across departments.
Through Empyra’s agile implementation and proof-of-concept validation, the organization was able to reduce process complexity, eliminate redundancies, and create real-time visibility into ticket progress and team accountability.
Today, Victoria’s Secret benefits from a scalable ITSM solution tailored to its unique structure, empowering teams to deliver better service, faster.
The power of JSM multiplies when combined with other Atlassian tools, creating a unified platform for modern work management.
Ecosystem integration benefits:
Workflow synergy example:
When a service request requires development work, JSM automatically creates linked issues in Jira Software. Developers can work on solutions while service agents maintain customer communication. Once development is complete, the service request updates automatically, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
This integration eliminates the context switching that plagues many IT teams, creating a single source of truth for all work-related activities.
DevOps practices emphasize collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement—values that align perfectly with JSM's design philosophy.
High-velocity benefits:
Teams implementing JSM within their DevOps workflows report 65% faster deployment cycles and 80% reduction in deployment-related incidents.
The business case for JSM extends far beyond IT efficiency improvements. Organizations see measurable impact across multiple dimensions:
Benefit Category | Specific Improvements | Typical ROI |
Operational Efficiency | 40% reduction in ticket resolution time | 300% within 12 months |
Customer Satisfaction | 25% improvement in CSAT scores | Increased retention rates |
Cost Optimization | 30% reduction in ITSM licensing costs | Immediate savings |
Strategic advantages:
Organizations implementing modern ITSM frameworks with JSM report significant improvements in both operational metrics and strategic business outcomes.
Choosing between Cloud and Data Center deployments depends on your organization's specific needs, security requirements, and infrastructure preferences.
Cloud Benefits:
Data Center Benefits:
Decision factors:
Most organizations opt for Atlassian Cloud migration due to its simplicity and automatic updates, while highly regulated industries often prefer Data Center for greater control.
