Technical View
Technical Issues
IT organizations are asked to maintain day-to-day operations while managing complex IT resources, negotiating tighter budgets and responding to demands for improved business-relevant IT services. The demands on IT continue to increase for many reasons including inflated requests, duplication, unclear requirements, lengthy fulfillment undefined services and the inability to forecast due to lack of planning. Today there are silos of services, systems, workflows and approvals, resulting in a lack of information transparency, limited IT governance and unmet performance expectations. There is also an emphasis today on running IT as profitable part of a business, and to do that IT must ensure the services its delivers meet stakeholder expectations for quality, responsiveness and cost of delivery. If IT wants to improve its credibility it must transform its operating model to become more service-centric and customer-focused.
With Service Management the goals of maximizing your IT investments, increased operational intelligence, better management of service contracts and the ability to adapt quickly to changing business demands are just some of the tangible benefits that can be realized by a business.
