Serena Software's IT Service Management (ITSM) solution, Serena Service Manager, was named overall winner for Pink Elephant’s 2011 Innovation of the Year Award.
Pink Elephant's Innovation of the Year award is in recognition of a product or service developed by the vendor community that has made the greatest contribution to ITSM in the last calendar year.
An important consideration in recognizing Serena Service Manager as ITIL Innovation of the year is the demonstrated integration of Serena’s service management and release management solutions. Together, Serena Service Manager and Serena Release Manager help bridge the Dev-Ops divide, helping IT organizations ensure that all changes going into production are managed seamlessly, controlled throughout and completely visible.
The two other finalists were:
- ServiceNow for Social IT
- SUMMUS Software for Intelligent IT
