WHY are we here?

� In the mid-80s, the UK government decided to stop “re-inventing the wheel” for procuring large scale IT systems

� “Process” and “standards” has been something of a way of life for the Brits� BSI � ISO

HOW did we get here – and WHO brought us?

� In 1987 the CCTA (now called OGC) initiated a project called GITIMM (Government IT Infrastructure Management Method).

� The term “IT Service Management” was not quite so prevalent at this time – “Infrastructure Management” was the name of the game.

� They began commissioning various consulting firms (Pink Elephant, among many others) to research and document “best practices” for planning & operating IT infrastructures.

� The private sector soon became interested - just prior to publication the of “Help Desk” in 1989, GITIMM became ITIL.

A Definition of Best Practices

� The application of common sense; not rocket-science

� Proven & practical activities which are in common use

� Replaces “chaos”, “random results” or “best efforts”; with “order”, “predictable quality” and ”optimization”

� And by the way, when was the last time you needed an ROI justification to apply common sense?

WHAT are we doing now?

Business Excellence Framework for IT

A Definition:“A collection ofbest practices

aimed atoptimizing

theIT infrastructure & services

andaligning

them with thebusiness requirements.”

14ITIL – A Strategy for Success © 2002 Pink Elephant. All Rights Reserved.

Why Do We Need a Framework?

� Using “best efforts” to address needs in an ad-hoc way is no longer good enough.

� Everything has a reason, and everything relates to something else.

� Let’s make sure we’ve thought of everything – and let’s show where everything fits in.

� However:� it is just a framework� it’s not “42” (see the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy).
