This award recognizes SysAid for having the most outstanding customer service record in the ITSM industry.

These service programs are aimed at building closer connections with SysAid customers and providing the best possible service experience.

"It was a unanimous decision. SysAid's innovative approach to managing customer relationships, the quality of those relationships, and the fact that they go the extra mile with SysAid on the Road is what gave them the edge over the competition," said Howard Kendall, Founder of the Service Desk Institute.

"In the last few years we've taken so many new steps to make IT service management easier for our customers and to bring them closer into our development plans. So we're very proud that SDI has recognized this dedication to customer service," said SysAid CEO Sarah Lahav.
