1 Product Overview The RG-RIIL-RMC Service Request Management software provides ITIL-compliant standard processes and flexible workflow engines and achieves automation of IT operations process and routine IT service, which helps users to achieve efficient operations, raise the operations quality and level. Through interconnection with the RIIL monitoring system, it can acquire IT monitoring incidents automatically, build the configuration database (CMDB), achieve vertical of IT infrastructural dynamic information, and integrate IT infrastructure with business. The overall architecture of RG-RIIL-RMC includes three layers: configuration layer, logic layer, and presentation layer. Configuration layer: the basic control layer of global configuration integrated interface and role permissions for system operation. Logic layer: the accurate control layer of operation procedures such as batch jobs Presentation layer: the layer presenting control results and decision data of all types of IT operations workflows The following figure shows the architecture of the system. 2

2 Product Features 2.1 Self-service Desk The RG-RIIL-RMC provides a user-oriented web self-service portal, including self-service guide, dynamic graphic process tracking, knowledge base query, and service quality report, which helps reduce the IT operations workload, expand IT service channels, and enhance customer satisfaction. Dynamic Graphic Process Tracking 4
Self-service Guide 2.2 Incident Management The RG-RIIL-RMC can respond to, resolve incidents and recover IT service operation as quickly as possible, reducing the impacts of incidents on services, and also achieve automatic workflow, raising IT support efficiency and reducing your cost. Incident implements the following functions: Receives requests from multiple sources and creates work orders automatically. 5
The user calls in. IT staff records. The user submits via the web self-service desk. Receives event reports from the IT monitoring system The user submits via the IM. The user submits via OA or external system. The user submits via e-mail. Creates service requests quickly with auto-fill fields. A service request includes auto-fill fields such as applicant, incident source, handling period, record creation time, and incident order No.. Associates information automatically for analysis. The incident module provides a built-in incident correlation engine that automatically associates a new work order with solutions, request cases, and involved configurations to help engineers to locate and solve problems quickly. 6
Offers self-defined forms. You can define and add attributes to the work order form. For example, you can set the input box, check box, radio buttons, time input box, text input area, and drop-down box. You can also define mandatory or optional fields. 7
Performs identification, assignment, and upgrade automatically. According to business requirements of different users, you can set multiple strategies of work order assignment and associate them with the SLM module for automatic upgrade. 8
2.3 Problem Management The RG-RIIL-RMC analyzes underlying problems behind an incident finds out the root cause and solutions, and records the problems to the knowledge base. In this way, it accelerates the incident process, and avoids reccurance of incidents with the same problem. Problem implements the following functions: Filters suspicious problems Before a problem is handled, it is first submitted to authorized personnel or managers to decide whether the problem needs to or can be solved. Breaks down a task and controls the process Since many departments or roles may be involved in the problem solving process, the system provides task decomposition and assignment to solve a complicated problem. In the process, the administrator or authorized business support personnel can view the problem solving status and progress by tracking the problem solving process. 9
Accumulates useful knowledge. Experiences gained during problem solving are added to the knowledge base automatically, providing references for solving similar problems in the future. 2.4 Change Management For effective execution of the changes, the product evaluates impacts, risks and resource requirements related to the changes and creates plans based on the evaluation results. The process starts from changes application, evaluation, approval, to planning, supervision and control, and ends until all is carried out. 10
Self-defined changes approval process The RG-RIIL-RMC is developed with a built-in process designer. You can design processes that meet your own service requirements without secondary development. Flow chart design Deployment Process running Settings of process links 2.5 Configuration Management Database (CMDB) The CMDB is the process that describes, traces, controls and reports all equipment or systems in the IT infrastructure. These equipment and systems are called configuration items. The process can achieve effective, tracing and control over all configuration items to support successful operation of hardware and software. Multi-dimensional view The RG-RIIL-RMC provides statistics on configuration items from multiple dimensions such as configuration classification, geographic positions, departments and usage status. 11
Relations between configuration items and relational views The configuration items can be set in a hierarchical structure. The subdivision level of the configuration elements structure is determined by the usage of configuration elements. One configuration item has multiple superior configuration items and multiple subordinate configuration items. Hierarchies and levels of the configuration items are unrestricted. Relations between configuration items can be defined, added, disabled, modified or deleted by the system administrator. 12
Structural relational view Server switch PC Web server Self-defined attributes of configuration items You can define the attributes of configuration items of different categories. The self-defined attributes can be queried and changed. The preset configuration items can be used to define the control relations between fields. When the master control field changes, the controlled fields are updated automatically. 13
2.6 Knowledge Base Management Experiences or solutions of business support personnel are accumulated and shared by the whole IT service organization as valuable knowledge. In this way, it can raise the skills of business support personnel, improve the service support efficiency, and reduce the single-point fault rate and the risk caused by staff turnover. Advanced knowledge system architecture Based on its many years of business experiences in the IT industry, Ruijie Networks has built a knowledge infrastructure library that can be applied in the IT field. 14

2.7 Scheduled Task Management For discovery and troubleshooting of periodic problems in routine business and health check, you can predefine relevant plans and tasks. It helps to perform planned and periodic maintenance in operation and maintenance and provides E-shift. It helps to raise the ability of active precaution and hidden danger removal, reduce faults and maintain continuity of services. 16

Formulating Multiple Stages and Tasks 2.9 Service Level Management Effective service level agreements (SLAs) are created and executed to ensure detailed planning of service levels for different IT departments, personnel, operation time and priority levels. Besides, in the case of SLA deficiency, the product gives out an alarm. At the critical point of service standards and commitment handling, these operations are activated. Service level provides the following functions: Creates the SLA of different service types. 19
Records the execution target of the SLA. 20
