IT process management is an indispensable building block for today’s businesses. IT Process Management is built on the understanding that IT activities should be delivered as a service.
When these processes are not managed correctly, slow approval mechanisms, security gaps and loss of labor can be inevitable. It ensures the coordination and management of processes so that all IT users can easily interact with and benefit from services, regardless of whether the organization is technologically inclined or not. The more dependent teams become on technology, the more important IT processes become. Streamlining and process optimization of IT Service Management (ITSM) workflows such as Service Management, Change Management, Incident Management, Problem Management, Inventory & Asset Management increases efficiency, reduces errors and keeps teams focused on their goals.
Importance of IT Process Management for Your Business ?
IT process management directly affects not only IT teams, but also all business units from sales to marketing, production to operations, and digital process transformations.
IT Process Management builds a strong bridge between technical teams and business units, ensuring that all components of the business work synchronized in line with common goals. In the traditional understanding, IT is often seen as a support unit that only manages the infrastructure, but today, with the acceleration of digitalization, it has become a strategic business partner. Thanks to effective process management, IT can better understand the needs of business units and offer solutions that meet their goals in a timely and accurate manner. This interaction not only improves service quality, but also makes IT’s contribution evident in critical areas such as developing new business models, improving customer experience and gaining competitive advantage.
Well-defined IT processes ensure that user demands are met more quickly and accurately. In particular, processes that are compatible with frameworks such as ITIL help achieve SLA (Service Level Agreements) targets. In this way, companies both gain operational efficiency and create a solid digital foundation for sustainable growth.
How to Make IT Process Management More Effective ?
Digital process management of your IT services not only enables IT teams to work efficiently, but also directly impacts overall business performance, customer satisfaction and revenue generation. The following practices for process improvement help teams manage processes more effectively:
One of the most effective ways to improve IT digital process management is to use a solution built with a low-code platform.
Why should it be based on Low-code Development Platform?
- IT process digitization moves manual and dispersed IT operations to digital platforms, making them centralized, traceable and auditable.
- However, a methodology is needed for digitized processes to be effective and sustainable.
- Structuring IT processes in line with ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) principles makes service management systematic, measurable and user-oriented.
- Digitizing IT processes alone is not enough; ITIL plays a guiding role in how these digital processes will operate.
- ITSM solutions developed with a low-code approach offer much faster customization, commissioning, reporting, process tracking and process recording compared to traditional software development processes. At the same time, it also enables tracking of all ancillary processes.
- Thanks to low-code platforms, ITIL-based processes become easily adaptable by both IT teams and business units.
In short, an ITSM solution that digitizes IT processes, standardizes them with ITIL and makes them flexible with low-code both meets the current operational needs of organizations and prepares a solid ground for future digital transformation steps.

Non-standard processes lead to inconsistency across teams and unmeasurable results. Defining, managing and implementing processes in the same way across all teams provides great advantages in terms of sustainability, quality control and efficiency.
IT teams manage a large number of requests from different sources. Therefore, receiving requests with standardized forms, consolidating all channels in a single system and automating routing/approval mechanisms ensure a transparent and fast process. In addition, the ability of users to monitor the status of requests reduces unnecessary follow-ups.
Disconnects between departments make information flow and collaboration difficult. IT teams should work integrated with all departments, overcoming not only technical silos but also communication silos. In this way, delays in processes, lack of information and incorrect deliveries can be prevented.
Process maps visually show how a process works step by step. This facilitates both the training of new team members and process improvement efforts. Through mapping, bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement can be seen more clearly.
Automation is the key to efficiency in IT process management. Automating manual processes saves time, reduces the error rate and makes processes run more smoothly. Using automation, especially in repetitive tasks, makes it possible for the IT team to focus on strategic work.
