Service Strategy (3 Main functins) Establishes an verall strategy fr the rganizatin s planned IT/GIS services and IT/GIS Service management practices. Define the market, Develp the fferings, Identify strategic Assets, prepare fr executin. Creating Value t the rganizatin and Calculating that Value Financial Management Prtfli Management Demand Management
Service Strategy Questins Utility + Warranty = Value Fit fr purpse Fit fr Use What service shuld we ffer and t whm? Hw d we create value fr ur custmers/users? Hw d we define service quality? Hw d we allcate resurces?
Service Strategy Warranty calculated Utility Calculated
Service Strategy Financial Management Financial Management Quantifies the value f the GIS service and its assets in additin t establishing the peratinal financial frecast (budget) fr the service. Assets: Hardware, Sftware, Data and knwledge Ottawa Cunty GIS Assets Measured:
Service Strategy Financial Management Ensuring the business (Cunty) understands the cst f prviding the service. (Initial understanding and current understanding)
Service Strategy (Prtfli Management) Prtfli Management Managing the prtfli f services being delivered. Managing Services and cntinuus evaluatin f their value. Data (data layer plan) (see hand-ut) Applicatins
Service Strategy (Prtfli Management) What service des GIS Prvide? Data Raster Data (Aerials, IR and LiDAR Vectr Data sets Scanned Dcuments Applicatins Online applicatins that prvide a service Desktp applicatins that allw users t create their wn service Training
Service Strategy (Demand Management) Demand Management Understanding and influencing a custmer s demand fr services and prvisin f capacity t meet the demand. Calculating Demand:

Service Strategy (Value) This allws the business (Cunty) t understand: Services that will be prvided Wh the custmers and users f the service are and will be Measured Value f the service t the custmers and users Cst f the service Capacity f GIS t deliver the service
Service Design Is the phase where new r changed services are aligned with the business gals identified in the service strategy phase. This is where services are designed and/r develped fr intrductin int the prductin envirnment.
Service Design (7 Main functins) Level f service Availability Management Capacity Management Cntinuity Management Service Catalg Supplier Management Infrmatin Security Management
Service Design Level f service (efficiencies) Allws GIS t negtiate, agree and dcument the apprpriate GIS Service targets that align with the Cunty s Gals and Objectives. (SLA s) Availability Management (utcmes) Defining, analyzing, planning, measuring and imprving the availability f GIS Services. Designed t meet Cunty business requirements. Capacity Management The gal is t ensure the supply f GIS resurces meets the custmer s / user s demand fr them
Service Design Capacity Management Cntinued Mving frm the physical server envirnment t the Virtual Envirnment. Prductin SDE / Publishing SDE D we have enugh strage space? D we have enugh RAM? D we have enugh Prcessing pwer? Cntinuity Management GIS cntinuity: preparing fr recvery. Server replicatin (GIS is a discretinary service) D we spend thusands f dllars t have failver cntingency? What Mandates will be affected? Withut full cntingency hw lng can we be back up and running? Server Failure f August 2011. (wrst case scenari) Server and data back up Ottawa GIS uses LTO3 tape system SQL backed up nightly
Service Design Service catalg Describes the services that are currently in the prductin envirnment, business prcesses that are enabled and the custmer s service quality expectatins (SLA s and perfrmance) Supplier Management GIS manages the business requirements and SLA s prduced by 3 rd party cntracts. (LLC s vendrs) Infrmatin Security Prtects the infrmatin cnfidentiality, integrity and availability by creating and enfrcing an infrmatin security plicy. (Central Dispatch/ Incidents, Public Health data)

Service Transitin Service Transitin is the phase where new r Changed Services are transitined int Service Operatin aka: prductin. Managing capacity and resurces needed t package, build, test and deply a release int prductin Ensuring services can be managed, perated and supprted in accrdance with requirements established in Service Design.
Service Transitin (4 Main Cmpnents) Change Management Ensures standardized methds and prcedures are used t manage all changes t services r prductin envirnments. Service Asset and Cnfiguratin Mgmt. Asset management tracks and reprts the value and wnership f financial assets thrughut their service life. Cnfiguratin Management tracks, using a Cnfiguratin Management Data Base (CMDB), the cnfiguratin items (CI) f an IT System. Release and Deplyment Management Prepared services fr release int the prductin envirnment Knwledge Management The prcess that IT and GIS use t cllect, analyze, and Exchange infrmatin and knwledge within the Cunty.
Service Transitin (Outcmes) Updates the service prtfli cnsisting f new r changed services Updates the service package that defines the services GIS prvides Updates the transitin plan used t mve services int peratinal prductin.
Service Transitin (Values) Ensures all changes cmply with cunty business requirements Manages the level f risk during service implementatin using cntingency plans. Standardizes the implementatin plan fr new and changed services. (same steps and prcedures applied fr data as well as new and updated/changed applicatins)
Service Operatin Service Operatin is where the value f the services in prductin are realized by the custmer/user. The day-t-day peratin f the prcesses that manage the services takes place. Where perfrmance metrics fr the services are gathered and reprted
Service Operatin (4 main functins and 6 prcesses) GIS Operatins Management Technical Management Service Desk (Shared Ottawa IT Service) IT as a unit prvide the element f Service Desk Operatins Applicatins and Data Infrastructure Help Desk GIS Applicatins Management Prcesses Event Management Incident Management Prblem Management Request Fulfillment Management Access Management Applicatin Life Cycle Management

Service Operatin (value) Service Strategy, the service is mdeled Service Design, the service is design, develped and cst validated In Cntinual Service Imprvement, the measures fr ptimizatin are identified.
Cntinual Service Imprvement Is respnsible fr cntinually aligning GIS Services t changing business needs. CSI identifies and implements imprvement int GIS Services that supprt business prcesses. CSI is abut lking fr ways t imprve prcess efficiency and cst effectiveness thrughut the entire service lifecycle.
Cntinual Service Imprvement Seven Step Imprvement prcess 1. What shuld be measured 2. What can be measured 3. Gather the necessary data 4. Prcess the data s it s understandable 5. Analyze the data fr trends 6. Present the infrmatin t apprpriate audience 7. Implement actin(s) in rder t imprve prcess
Cntinual Service Imprvement Service Measurement Defines the metrics that will be used during data analysis Service Reprting Organizes status and perfrmance data int infrmatinal reprts. Ex: dashbards, SLA reprts Service Imprvement GIS maintains and imprves the quality f the service by agreeing t, mnitring and reprting n GIS achievements
Cntinual Service Imprvement Service Reprting (Example)
Cntinual Service Imprvement (utcmes and value) Outcmes Service Imprvement plan Lessns learned dcuments that identify hw each prcess phase can be imprved Value Better infrmatin abut each service Imprved stability, reliability and availability Imprved metrics Clear view f GIS IT and Cunty Business alignment Better wrking relatinship with users and custmers
