Lessons Learned Line of business plans, direction and strategy must be fully understood to accurately predict required technical capacity Key Performance Management Resource = Incident Management. Incredibly valuable resource: analyze high utilization times like month end and quarter end. Making the right investments in the right places at the right time is the only way to demonstrate cost effectiveness. Configuration Management is required for successful Service Capacity Management Throwing hardware at a service is not always the solution. Capacity and Performance Management at Huntington: Is not just mathematical ti equations and hardware recommendations. Is not an exact science, no model is 100%, always a margin of error Is balancing cost with resources and supply with demand
