Today IT is in a critical, and ‘tight’ spot!

�Increasing visibility – the “Front of the Front Office”e.g.. customers and business partners directly logging into systems to perform transitions

�Increasing demands from the business to deliver effective IT solutions faster, cheaper, better…

�Increasing complexity of IT infrastructure and processes

�Increasing competition, e.g. ‘threat’ of outsourcing

�Increasing pressure to demonstrate value and ROI:Business justification for development projects, control over operational costs, Business Case driven investment decision,

�Increasing maturity and technical savvyness of users and customers

�Increasing demands by the business to receive SERVICES…

IT has become a vehicle for key business processes. IT is expected to deliver consistently improving services to the business, but with less

resources and under ever-increasing expectations:

What our users really expect of IT?

� Specification

They want to know what it is they are getting? Often, customers don’t know, or can not articulate their true needs – IT should help translate real business requirements into solutions

� Conformance

Are they getting what the specifications says they should be getting?

� Consistency

They want the same experience every time!

� Value

The cost of services should be perceived to be fair, and the quality of service should be perceived to be worth the money spent.

� Communication

They want to be told what they are getting (or not getting), when, how, and what to do if they have a problem with it. They want to be kept in the loop, and shown due respect

Page 6: ITIL Delivery

The Solution: different perspective for IT

Objectives of IT Service Management (ITSM):

� To align IT services with the current and future needs of the business and its customers

� To deliver efficient and effective service to the business and customers

� To continually improve the quality of the IT services delivered

� To provide more services for the same cost, and reduce the long-term costs of service provision

The goal of IT Service Management is to provide the service that the Customer wants, at a price they are prepared to pay

� Start by viewing and managing IT as a business that sells services

� Formulate and deliver unbeatable value proposition for your customers

� Reposition IT from a cost centre, into a strategic business partner

IT Service Management is a discipline that promotes this perspective!

Scope of IT Service Management

The process approach – a key to ITSM

Focus on processes, because good processes …

� Have well defined inputs, activities, outputs – specification

� Can be measured, therefore – can be managed - conformance

� Are repeatable, promoting service consistency

� Cut across silos – promoting communication and co-operation

� Can be audited and benchmarked (e.g. Maturity Assessment), demonstrating value to the customer and user

� Impose organizational discipline

� Clarify organizational boundaries and roles

� Capture organizational knowledge

� Link individuals with the work roles they fill

� Avoid duplication of effort

� Form a base for designing good services

� Support continuous improvement…

What is ITIL?

Origins:

� British Government’s effort to improve IT management

� Developed by the CCTA in the late 1980’s

� Originally, a library of over 40 books that documented various IT Service areas, processes and standards

� Today, a library of 8 books, under the auspices of OGC

Components of Service Support

�Service DeskA function, not a process, that provides ‘a central point of contact’ between users and the IT service organization

� Incident ManagementAims to restore normal service operation as quickly as possible and minimizes negative impacts of incidents on business operations, therefore ensuring the maintenance of best possible levels of service quality and availability

�Problem ManagementDiagnoses the underlying cause of incidents and problems, provides root-cause analysis, correction of errors and proactive problem and incident prevention

�Configuration Management

Provides a logical model of the infrastructure and services by identifying, controlling, maintaining and verifying the Configuration items.

�Change ManagementEnsures that standardized methods and procedures are used for efficient and prompt handling of changes, thus minimizing the impact of any related incidents upon service

�Release ManagementTakes a holistic view of a Change to an IT service and ensures that all aspects of a Release, both technical and non-technical, are considered together.

Goal: To operate the IT services in an efficient and effective way and to ensure required

stability and availability targets of the day-to-day IT operation are consistently met

Page 17: ITIL Delivery

Incident Management

Incident definition:

Any event which is not part of the standard operation of a service and which causes, or may cause, an interruption to, or a reduction in, the quality of that service

Work-around definition:

A method of avoiding an Incident or Problem either by employing a temporary fix or technique so the user is no longer reliant on a Configuration Item (CI) that is known to cause failure

To restore normal service operation as quickly as possible with

minimum disruption to the business, thus ensuring that the best

achievable levels of availability and service are maintained

selection

Activities

Page 26: ITIL Delivery

© Deloitte & Touche LLP and affiliated entities.

Classification: Categorization

� Record User perception of failure in terms of the User’s inability to do something

� “Batch job output has not been received”

� “I can’t print, connect to a server or access an application”

� Identify affected services (and possibly by association the affected SLA)

� Categorize and provide details of CI thought to be at fault

After resolution:

� Categorize and provide details of CI eventually found to be at fault

� Log the quick fix, workaround, or the action taken.

Activities

Page 27: ITIL Delivery

© Deloitte & Touche LLP and affiliated entities.

Classification: Prioritization

� Impact is the measure of the effect upon the business activities and service levels (the degree of possible harm) - scope

� Urgency is the measure of effect on business deadlines (when the harm will occur) - time

Priority = Impact X Urgency

Priorities allow the IT service supplier to prioritize its resources:

Effort = Time = Money

Activities

Page 28: ITIL Delivery

Illustrative Examples of Priority

Payroll Application: System run once per month to run payroll / perform BACS transfers etc.

Bank Teller Application: System used by cashiers in bank to transact on accounts

HighHigh : Queues beginning to form

Medium : one branch out of 150

One Branch teller application performing poorly

Low : Cashiers and customers not impacted due to redundancy in network

Impact

Med : Router needs to be re-booted to restore network redundancy

Urgency

MedRouter Interface down

Priority

High: will effect all employees

High: will effect all employees

Impact

High : Fix needed before 06:00 tomorrow morning

Low : Payroll not run for 3 weeks

Urgency

HighFailure in payroll server (last week of month)

Low (at the moment)

Failure of payroll server

(first week in month)

Priority

Escalation types

Hierarchical (authority

)

Functional (competence)

Hierarchical escalation would typically include requests for authorization, resources and/or costs

Functional escalation might include specialist groups, e.g.. Tier 1 to Tier 2

Definitions

The use of Support Teams

The use of support teams is important in efficient incident resolution.

� First line support deals with the communication to the user, resolution of known incidents (e.g.. password resets)…

�…allowing the second and subsequent levels to focus on resolving assigned incidents.

�Targets are often set for improving the percentage of incidents resolved at first level.

Activities

Page 31: ITIL Delivery

Problem Management

To minimize the adverse effect on the business of Incidents and

Problems caused by errors in the infrastructure, and to

proactively prevent the occurrence of Incidents, Problems and errors.

Goal

Page 32: ITIL Delivery

© Deloitte & Touche LLP and affiliated entities.

Problems and Known Errors

An Incident or Problem for which the root cause is known and for which a temporary work around or permanent alternative has been identified.

If a business case exists an RFC* will be raised, but in any event it remains a Known Error until it is permanently fixed by a Change’

Known Error

An ‘unknown underlying cause of one or more incidents’

Problem

* - RFC: Request for Change

Configuration Management

�Configuration Item (CI) – a component of an IT infrastructure which is (or is to be) under the control of Configuration Management and therefore subject to formal change control

�Configuration Management Database (CMDB) – a database which contains details of the attributes and history of each CI and the relationships between CIs

�Baseline – a snapshot of the state of a CI and its components or related CIs, frozen in time for a particular purpose, such as:� The ability to return a service to a trusted state if a change goes wrong� A specification for copying the CI or for a roll-out� The minimum CIs needed to maintain vital Business Functions after a disaster

Interfaces between processes

Configuration Management is heavily dependent upon a number of other disciplines.

Effective Change Management, software control, Release Management, operational acceptance testing, and procedures for the installation and acceptance of new/different hardware and network components are all essential.

If these are not already in existence, they should be planned alongside Configuration Management.

Information

Page 44: ITIL Delivery

© Deloitte & Touche LLP and affiliated entities.

Change Management

To ensure that standardized methods and procedures are used for

efficient and prompt handling of all Changes, in order to minimize the

impact of any related Incidents upon service.

Changes can arise as a result of Problems, Known Errors and their

resolution, but many Changes can come from proactively seeking

business benefits such as reducing costs or improving services

Goals

Page 45: ITIL Delivery

© Deloitte & Touche LLP and affiliated entities.

Change Management

�Change – a deliberate action that alters the form, fit or function of Configuration Item (CI) such as an addition, modification, movement, or deletion that impacts the IT infrastructure

�Request for Change (RFC) – a means of proposing a change to any component of an IT infrastructure or any aspect of an IT service

�Forward Schedule of Change (FSC) – a schedule that contains details of all the changes approved for implementation and their proposed implementation date

�Standard Change – a Change that is recurrent, has been proceduralized to follow a pre-defined, relatively risk free path and where Change Management and budgetary authority is effectively give in advance

�Service Request – a request, usually made through a Service Desk, for a Standard Change�Example: providing access to services for a new member of staff or relocating a few PCs
