Prioritize processing for appropriate use of resources by proactively identify and resolve problems (problem and error control) Classify and document workaround/resolution (global issues) Activities Escalate or promotion of incidents (directly or based on trending analysis) Promote to change as indicated by known error solution Interacts with Change and Release Management (underpinned by SLA) Visibility of CI (Authorized/Deployed and Reconciliation results) Access to IT asset details/processes (user/location information, IMAC, Contracts, Procurement), and work order management (skills, labor, tools, materials)

Change Management
Plan and control implementations
Standardize and increase velocity of changes (decreasing the detrimental impact). It is about a controlled and understood process that includes 1 or many stages of planned modifications to the IT infrastructure inline with the supporting business goals Activities Overall view of tasks and resources identify, assess and classify RFC Affected organizations/locations/CIs planning and scheduling Approvals and asset updates implementation reviews Interacts with Incident (underpinned by SLA) Visibility of CI (Authorized/Deployed and Reconciliation results) Access to IT asset details/processes (user/location information, IMAC, Contracts, Procurement), and work order management (skills, labor, tools, materials)

One more key concept

ITIL does not include the words ASSET MANAGEMENT
IT people focus on Configuration Items (CIs) that are stored in the Configuration Management Database (CMDB). Think Rotating Asset an Asset that has a profile with standard attributes. Not consumables (spare parts). ITIL Definitions CI: Component of an infrastructure, that is under the control of Configuration Management. CIs may vary widely in complexity, size and type, from an entire system (including all hardware, software and documentation) to a single module or a minor hardware component.

CMDB: A database that contains all relevant details of each CI and details of the important relationships between CIs.

How do we define corporate IT assets ?

PHYSICAL

Hardware information Software information Location, user, cost center

FINANCIAL

CONTRACTUAL

Purchase price Vendor Depreciation and tax information

Lease terms Warranty information Software license terms

IT asset management is the cohesive merging of the physical, financial and contractual attributes of IT assets to: Manage assets cost-effectively Minimize liability and risk associated with the assets Facilitate effective planning and budgeting16

SLAs Primary Functionality

SLA SLA Management Management

Supports management of Service Catalogs What Services are being provided? What assets make up and/or are targeted by the Service?

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) What are the Commitments that are in place with the Customer (internal or external)? What processes should be monitored and what preventive countermeasure escalations are associated? How do SLAs relate to one another? What is my performance related to SLA compliance?

SLAs can be applied to any record in TSRM Unified with all service processes and TAMIT Leverages MXES escalation, notification, and workflow engines Proactive monitoring of business commitments via KPIs

Service Level Management

SLA application use encapsulate the business goals as they apply to the IT infrastructure, to ensure that critical business services are maintained and improved over the duration of these agreements. SLA must be: Reasonable Appropriate Measurable Achievable And incremental

CMDB
CMDB CMDB

itSMF defines CMDB: All detail and relationship information about Configuration Items (CIs) should be held in a single place. This single repository of information will be accessed across the Service Management processes and is a major driver of consistency between the processes By definition, the TSRM Database is IBMs CMDB. All ITSM processes (as well as TAMIT and Work Order Management processes) access the same and only repository in the TSRM & TAMIT suite Also by definition, TAMIT manages all CI definitions and their relationships in the Maximo Database
