ISDM? No, not a misprint.

According to this story in The Register (with the really odd title "IT services at work are pants") New workers wait weeks for PCs and help.  In a study sponsored by IT services software firm newScale, US workers report that it can take several weeks after starting a new job to get the computer equipment they needed to perform their job functions. NewScale is looking to promote software to exploit a new niche called "internal service delivery management", but a little dose of what now must be considered "old-fashioned" provisioning software should do the trick. There's really no need to create a new tool when the old one does the job and does it well.
