IT Service Management and Service Manager Marko Filipović Microsoft
Presentation goal and agenda ITSM Introduction ITIL/MOF How Microsoft fits into this? Service Manager 2010 - Introduction
IT Service Management IT service management (ITSM or IT services) is a discipline for managing information technology (IT) systems, philosophically centered on the customer's perspective of IT's contribution to the business. Providers of IT services can no longer afford to focus on technology and their internal organization; they now have to consider the quality of the services they provide and focus on the relationship with customers
Today s Enterprise IT Management Challenges CapEx / OpEx Budget Pressures Skill Availability Service Availability Increasing Compliance Demands Business Service Levels
Why People Adopt Frameworks? External and Internal Governance Requirements Organizational Consistency Efficiency, reduction of costs, errors and duplicate work
ITIL/MOF overview ITIL and MOF are closely related and both describe best practices for IT Service Management Processes.
Solving the Right Problem Can technology fix this issue? Would a stronger lock help? Microsoft sells doors and locks (Platforms, System Center, etc.) But many problems are due to process (lack of, inferior, not followed) or people issues We have an obligation to provide guidance to run our technology
ITIL/MOF Overview ITIL philosophy adopts a process driven approach that is scalable. It considers Service Management to consist of related and integrated processes aligned to business processes. MOF (Microsoft Operations Framework) organizes and describes all of the activities and processes involved in creating, managing, and supporting an IT service MOF gives you practical guidance providing comprehensive guidelines for achieving reliability for IT solutions and services MOF uses question-based guidance to help you: Determine what your organization needs now Keep your IT organization running efficiently and effectively in the future Keeps your IT organization aligned with your Business s needs
Over 70% of surveyed in 2009 customers use MOF, ITIL and/or CoBiT
Problem: Solving the Right Problem If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail Server crashes due to a configuration change by a capable engineer without announcing or vetting the change with other groups, associates, or management Technical Solution (Common Hammer of the Technologist): Cluster the server to provide failover capabilities Outcome: Increased complexity and points of failure Initial problem of uncontrolled change in the production environment still exists The Real Solution: Ensure an organizationally-appropriate change and configuration management process is in place and enabled with policy, training, and compliance

MOF 4.0 Process Via System Center Microsoft System Center supports MOF, ITIL and COBIT
What is an IT Service? Is it a delivery from the Service Desk? Is it a process on a server? Is it a desired outcome for the user? ITIL v3 defines a Service as: A means of delivering value to customers by facilitating the outcomes customers want to achieve without the ownership of specific costs and risks And Service Management as: A set of specialized organizational capabilities for providing value to customers in the form of services.
What Microsoft can offer? Microsoft is Software company, what about processes? MOF is publicly available and for free, but can you help us with implementing processes? What is Microsoft experience with ITSM?
