7 What is IT? IT is a Commodity I use IT as denoting all the technology hardware and software used to storage, process and transport information in digital form. The meaning of IT does not encompass the information itself or the talent of the people using the technology. Carr (HBS) 2004 IT is a strategic instrument IT is one of six key assets (human, financial, physical, intellectual property, relationships and IT) that must be governed to create value. IT is an essential ingredient for business competitiveness. Weill, Ross (MIT) 2004 Prof. Dr. A. Müller Seite 7

8 The strategic impact of IT depends on Strategic Impact of IT Performance of IT - Chances Consequence of down time - Risk Chances and Risk for the Organization Prof. Dr. A. Müller Seite 8

9 Chances of IT in Higher Education Better Quality of Education E-Learning Student support systems Campus Management Lower Cost of Processes Lower cost in support processes More money for core processes Automated work flows E-Collaboration of students Better Research Quality Improved International Networking Research is data processing! Simulation and calculation systems Better documentation of results Higher attractivness for scientists! Video Conferencing E-Collaboration of students and researchers Allways connected research communities Prof. Dr. A. Müller Seite 9

10 IT-Risk in Higher Education Portfolio-Risik Waste of money for irrelevant IT-Systems Late implementation of relevant Systems Operation-Risik Missing IT-Security No financial benefit High Cost in IT_Departement Unexpectedly high down-times Lack of evaluation Not compatible with other ITsystems Project-Risik Insufficient personnel resources Neglect of the documentation shift of milestones Outsourcing-Risik Dependence on the outsourcing partner No effective contractual sanction mechanisms during default Mistakes in change management Insolvency of the partner Prof. Dr. A. Müller Seite 10

ERP priorities Process oriented selection of the future IT-system Prof. Dr. A. Müller

30 Process oriented management of the IT-landscape What is to do to manage IT? I already have Process modells Asset- Management Configuration Management Database ITIL-Processes Ticketing- System Prof. Dr. A. Müller Seite 30

Müller Seite 32

33 Requirements of a process orientated CMDB Prof. Dr. A. Müller Seite 33

34 IT-Database Access Prototyp macht WAS WER WOMIT? Eingabe / Zuordnung von Prozessen, Organisations-einheiten und IT-Systemen Prof. Dr. A. Müller Seite 34

35 Extended CMDB Prototype - benefit Transparency: Mutual dependencies and interactions between Business Services, Processes, IT-Systems, and Roles / Contact persons are documented in detail. Availability: required information about Business Services, Processes, Roles & Responsibilities, and Technology are available in one comprehensive database. Multidimensionality: entrance in DB content can be made from individual point of view (Business Services, Processes, Roles, and IT) and required abstraction level. Detection of missing roles and responsibilities: roles, responsibilities, and contact persons can be assigned on arbitrary detail level. Unallocated or vacant roles and responsibilities can be detected efficiently. Integrated information base for several application fields: These dimensions and mutual dependencies define the kernel for systematic migration management, quality management, risk management, business process management and more.
