10 Service Delivery Overview The Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is a globally recognized collection of best practices for information technology (IT) service management. The United Kingdom's Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA) created ITIL in response to growing dependence on information technology for meeting business needs and goals. ITIL provides businesses with a customizable framework of best practices to achieve quality service and overcome difficulties associated with the growth of IT systems. Hewlett-Packard Co. and Microsoft are two businesses that use ITIL as part of their own best practices frameworks. At Republic Voice & Data we base much of our product and service offerings off this model. It is important to note that ITIL best practices is a very large and in depth collection. Republic Voice & Data provides some of the components of ITIL as part of the managed services plan however many fall outside of the plans. Most of those that fall outside of the plan are available on a standard fee basis. Implementation Implementation steps and a complete statement of work are identified on proposals. 10 of 26

12 ITIL Service Definitions Service Portfolio Management - A strategy to serve customers, and to develop the service provider's offerings and capabilities. Demand Management - Optimizing the use of capacity by moving workload to less utilized times, servers, or places. IT Financial Management - Comprises the discipline of ensuring that the IT infrastructure is obtained at the most effective price (which does not necessarily mean cheapest) and calculating the cost of providing IT services so that an organization can understand the costs of its IT services. Service Catalog Management - Document produced and maintained, containing accurate information on all operational services and those being prepared to be run operationally. Service Level Management - Provides for continual identification, monitoring and review of the levels of IT services specified in the service level agreements (SLAs). Risk Management - Identify, assess and control risks. This includes analyzing the value of assets to the business, identifying threats to those assets, and evaluating how vulnerable each asset is to those threats. Capacity Management - Ensures that the capacity of IT services and the IT infrastructure is able to deliver the agreed service level targets in a cost effective and timely manner. Capacity Management considers all resources required to deliver the IT service, and plans for short, medium and long term business requirements. Availability Management - To define, analyze, plan, measure and improve all aspects of the availability of IT services. Availability Management is responsible for ensuring that all IT infrastructure, processes, tools, roles etc. are appropriate for the agreed availability targets. IT Service Continuity Management - To manage risks that could seriously impact IT services. ITSCM ensures that the IT service provider can always provide minimum agreed Service Levels, by reducing the risk from disaster events to an acceptable level and planning for the recovery of IT services. ITSCM should be designed to support Business Continuity Management. Information Security Management - Specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving a documented Information Security Management System within the context of the organization's overall business risks. 12 of 26

This includes identifying areas where the targeted service levels are not reached, and holding regular talks with business to make sure that the agreed service levels are still in line with business needs. Release Management - To plan, schedule and control the movement of releases to test and live environments. The primary goal of Release and Deployment Management is to ensure that the integrity of the live environment is protected and that the correct components are released. Change Management - To ensure that standardized methods and procedures are used for efficient and prompt handling of all changes to controlled IT infrastructure, in order to minimize the number and impact of any related incidents upon service.
