Enterprise IT Service Management, built for governance
Run incidents, requests, changes and problems through consistent workflows with SLA/OLA performance tracking, approvals and audit-ready evidence linked to CMDB and asset records for full operational traceability.

Welford Service Management Platform
Welford Service Management (WSM) is an ITSM service desk platform for managing incidents, service requests, changes and problems using standardised workflows, approvals, SLAs, reporting and audit trails. It includes an integrated CMDB and asset management to link tickets and changes to configuration items, services, owners and dependencies, improving visibility, governance, and operational/cyber resilience. WSM supports self-service, email-to-ticket, dashboards, evidence export, and integrations via APIs.

Intended audience
WSM is designed for organisations that want to improve service delivery and resilience with consistent workflows, accountability and evidence.
It is suitable for:
- IT Service Desk and operations teams (incident/request handling, SLAs, reporting)
- Change and release teams (change workflows, CAB approvals, audit evidence)
- Service owners and application owners (ownership, approvals, accountability)
- Asset/CMDB administrators (CI management, relationships, lifecycle records)
- Security, risk and compliance teams (audit evidence, change governance, resilience reporting)
- Employees, contractors and third parties who require service desk support
Typical use cases
WSM supports common ITSM and operational governance scenarios.
Replace email/spreadsheets with structured service desk workflows and SLAs
Standardise service request fulfilment using approvals and templates
Improve change governance through integrated CAB workflows and evidence
Reduce repeat incidents using Problem Management (RCA and Known Errors)

Advanced Capabilities
Modern ITSM capabilities with governed workflows, SLA/OLA performance tracking, audit-ready evidence, CMDB and asset control, plus integrations and APIs.
Integrations and APIs
WSM supports integration to reduce manual effort and align with enterprise toolchains using REST APIs for integration, automation and export, plus email ingestion and notifications (email-to-ticket and status updates). Integrations to identity/directory and other systems are supported where agreed, including optional coexistence/migration patterns for organisations moving from other ITSM tools (scope-dependent).
