9 What is ITSM? People Process TechnologyIT service management (ITSM) combines people, process, and technology to deliver high-quality IT services to the customer. ITSM consists of policy, structured processes and supporting procedures that are used to plan, design, deliver, operate and control information technology (IT) services offered to customers. It is thus concerned with the implementation of IT services that meet customers' needs, and it is performed by the IT service provider through an appropriate mix of people, process and information technology. Service Management is a set of specialized organizational capabilities for providing value to customers in the form of services. The goal is to manage IT from a business perspective, focusing on the end-to-end services rather than technology silos. Services are a means of delivering value to customers by facilitating outcomes customers want to achieve without the ownership of specific costs and risks. People Process Technology
10 The University requires new ITSM systems and processesNew ITSM Solution1 Pegasus Shared systems will continue to use Pegasus
11 VU ITSM consists of three integrated SaaS solutionsxMatters1 (x) FireScope Cherwell Service Management Platform Process Areas Configuration Change Incident Request Service Catalog Problem Knowledge Asset Management Module Discovery, Dependency Mapping, Monitoring Objective: Exit Pegasus and establish IT service management (ITSM) foundation for the University. Solution: 3 integrated commercial, SaaS systems Comments on each system -- 1 – Cherwell Service Manager (CSM) – base ITSM platform, central system for managing changes to systems/environments, finding configuration information, and managing tickets and service requests. In addition to this tool, we are intentionally designing processes to fit the university environment. We have purchased an additional asset management module – Cherwell Asset Manager. That will help us get out of spreadsheets and into a central repository (this is Phase 2). 2 – FireScope – this tool listens to/discovers the network and maps which systems are connected and makes a map, which is then used to populate all sorts of attributes into a database. Monitors for changes to configurations and reports changes/events. This will significantly reduce manual data entry and the proliferation of tribal knowledge. FireScope will integrate directly with Cherwell – populating CMDB, which is the foundation for reliable Change practices. 3 – xMatters – xMatters performs automatic incident/event alerting and notifications according to an on-call calendar. If a event/emergency threshold is crossed for a specific system, xMatters will , text, call, the individual, team, or administrator on call. This will be a Phase 2 roll out. 1 new VU instance of xMatters
12 Implementation will occur in three phases over 21 monthsFY17 FY18 Phase 1 Phase 3 Phase 2 Process Workshops Cherwell FireScope xMatters Today Problem & Knowledge Change & Configuration Incident, Request, & Asset Discovery & Database Population Dependency Mapping & Event Monitoring We have completed Phase 1. Alerting & Notifications
13 Phase 1 – Change & Configuration ManagementConfiguration Management - is the method by which we track details about the hardware and software we use to provide IT services (servers, databases, etc.). Enables IT to understand its infrastructure for delivering IT services (servers, databases, storage, network equipment, firewalls). Stored as Configuration items (CIs) CIs have attributes (self) CIs have relationships (to one another) Information is stored in Configuration Management Database (CMDB) - Database of CI’s and their attributes and relationships Change Management - is the process by which we track and approve changes to hardware to prevent service disruption and follow best-practices. Visibility into upcoming changes Single place to go to see what has change, useful for troubleshooting Track approvals if necessary, e.g. audit requirements
14 Phase 2 – Incident, Request & Asset Management! Incident Request Incident Management: Incident - unplanned interruption to an IT service or a reduction in the quality of an IT service Objective: restore normal service operation as quickly as possible and minimize impact on business operations Process: Report & Record Incident Categorize & Prioritize Initial Diagnosis Assignment / Escalation Resolve & Close Incident Request Management Objective is to fulfill standard, routine service requests for customers (set-up new address for user, spin up server is AWS, etc.). With Cherwell, we will be building workflows for requests that involve multiple teams. This will automate the hand-off from one team to the next and should improve delivery times. Browse a Catalog of Requests Specialized Online Form Approval Workflow Fulfillment Workflow Asset Management responsible for tracking and reporting the value and ownership of financial assets throughout their lifecycle
15 Phase 3 – Problem & Knowledge ManagementProblem Management Problem: A Problem is an unknown cause of one or more incidents. When there is a routine pattern and we need to dig deeper a figure out the underlying, root cause. (Incident: An Incident is an unplanned interruption to an IT service or a reduction in the quality of an IT service) Knowledge Management The structured process by which an organization captures, distributes, and uses institutional knowledge. (documentation, instructions, how to’s, support information, implementation information, architecture and operations docs - e.g. run books, SOPs, etc.) Provides strategy on what repositories should be used, accessed, and updated Problem Knowledge
