This marks the 25th consecutive year Mr. Rumburg has been selected as a speaker for the Annual HDI Conference & Expo. In this presentation, Mr. Rumburg shared the results of MetricNet’s 2016 Global Benchmarking Initiative, discussed the Benchmarking Methodology, defined the KPIs used for benchmarking, and provided performance data from more than 180 IT service and support organizations worldwide. “Industry data shows that support organizations that conduct annual benchmarking are far more likely to achieve world-class performance,” said Rumburg. “Yet fewer than 20% of all support groups engage in benchmarking.” Those interested in this presentation can find a copy of the slide deck on MetricNet’s website.
