Abstract

This study explores how Indonesian Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) manage IT services with limited staff and budgets, proposing that a simpler, lightweight approach to IT service management (ITSM) is more suitable for this context. A mixed-method case study was conducted with four MSMEs in Greater Jakarta—two technology-based and two non-technology-based. Key performance indicators such as response time, downtime, and customer satisfaction were derived from service logs and customer ratings, while semi-structured interviews with owners and staff were analyzed for recurring themes. Results revealed that non-technology-based MSMEs achieved a median response time of 12.5 minutes and an average satisfaction score of 4.55, while technology-based MSMEs had a median response time of 1.8 hours and an average score of 3.95. Technology firms logged approximately seven hours of downtime per month, compared to 1.5 hours in non-tech firms, indicating a trade-off between faster responses and higher satisfaction at the cost of less systematic documentation and control. All MSMEs utilized freemium SaaS tools, marketplace dashboards, limited-service hours, and no dedicated IT staff to minimize costs. The study proposes a lightweight ITSM framework and checklist, adaptable with free tools, for use in MSME incubators and support programs, advancing ITSM literature for resource-constrained businesses.

Abstract

This study examines how operational rework appears in internal access management in a small technology consulting firm in Jakarta, where work processes are still loosely organized. Using a mixed methods approach, the study reviewed 97 operational cases across six months and combined them with interviews with people directly involved in handling access issues. The analysis focused on access requests, password resets or account recovery, and escalations or handoffs, not general service complaints. The results show that the biggest burden comes less from the technical fix itself and more from three transition points: moving cases from WhatsApp to formal channels (41%), waiting for approval (48%), and handing cases to another person in charge (37%). Access requests faced the strongest approval barriers, while escalations and handoffs created the most repeated clarification, case transfers, and cases returning after they seemed finished. The interviews also show that WhatsApp often works as a shadow workflow: fast at the start, messy later when the initial context is not fully recorded, approvals depend on certain intermediaries, or a case looks closed even though the solution is only temporary. The novelty of this study lies in its practical view of rework through three layers, namely entry friction, processing friction, and closure distortion, along with a lightweight diagnostic that small companies can use to spot process waste without needing a complex evaluation system.
