•
Infrastructure- People, Processes and Technology
•
IT Service - Fulfills one or more of the customers needs
- Supports customers business objective
•
Process –
- A structured set of activities designed to accomplish a specific
objective. A process may define policies, standards, guidelines,
activities and work flow instructions.
•
Activity –
- A set of actions designed to achieve a result

Service Support has an “Operational” focus. The activities include the day-to-day
or short-term planning activity of a business or service management process.

Incident Management
•
•
Objective is to restore normal service operation as quickly as
possible and minimize the adverse impact on business
operations.
The process responsible for managing the life-cycle of all
incidents.
An incident defined as an unplanned, unexpected or unexplained disruption
in service. This is any event which is not part of the standard operation of a
service and which causes or may cause an interruption to or a reduction in the
quality of the service that is provided.
•
E.g. mail server not responding to incoming or outgoing messages.

Incident Management input and output of the process, and its
activities
E.g. mail server not responding to incoming or outgoing messages.
Computing and Information Technology

Escalation =
the mechanism
that assists
timely resolution
of an Incident
E.g. users identify they
cannot send or receive
mail and the Service
Desk is contacted. The
Service Desk cannot
resolve the incident so
it must be escalated to
the next level of
expertise for resolution.
Levels of support are specific to technical expertise

Problem Management
A Problem is defined as the unknown underlying cause
• Problem Management aims to Stabilize IT services through:
•Minimizing the consequences of incidents
•Removal of the root causes of incidents
•Prevention of incidents and problems
•Prevent recurrence of incidents related to errors
•Both reactive process and proactive process.
E.g. mail server not responding to incoming or outgoing messages, and the root
cause is identified as power has been lost because the server was accidentally
unplugged due to other servers being un-plugged and relocated to another part of
the building.
Computing and Information Technology
Project and Service Management Office
ITSM – Service Support
Problem Management
takes time to identify
the cause and
eliminate it.
E.g. the mail server problem
root cause resulted in a
permanent solution which was
to locate the power source
and plug it back in.

Change Management
Not every change is an improvement, but every improvement is a change.
- Is responsible for managing changes introduced in
the IT environment
- Ensures that standardized methods and procedures
are used
- Aims to minimize the impact of change-related
incidents and improve day-to-day operations with
minimum disruption to IT Services.

Change Management
Change Manager: the person responsible for filtering,
accepting and classifying all Requests For Change (RFC).
Change Advisory Board (CAB): this consultative body
meets regularly to assess and plan changes. Normally, only
the more significant changes are presented to the CAB.
CAB/EC (Emergency Committee) should be appointed with
the authority to make decisions on emergency requests.

Change Management Process Flow
Change = an addition, modification or removal of anything that could
have an effect on the IT environment
Computing and Information Technology

ITSM – Service Support
Configuration Management
Provides a logical view of the
components of all services. This
process is responsible for maintaining
information about Configuration Items
(CI). A CI is any component that needs
to be managed in order to deliver an IT
Service.

Service Level Management
•The process responsible for
maintaining and improving IT
Service quality through a constant
cycle of agreeing, monitoring, and
reporting to meet customers’
objectives.
•Provides us and our customers a
clear and consistent understanding
and expectation of the level of
service required to provide a quality
product.
• Through these methods, a better
relationship between IT and the
customers can be developed.
Computing and Information Technology

Service Level Management - Terminology and Definitions
Service Level Requirements (SLR) – A listing of the customer’s service
requirements (e.g. availability, capacity, financial, criticality, service restoration,
etc.).
Service Level Agreement (SLA) – a written agreement with a customer defining
the service targets and responsibilities of both parties.
Operational Level Agreement (OLA) – a written agreement between two internal
IT areas (e.g. Networks and Service Desk)
Underpinning Contract (UC) – a contract with a 3rd party vendor/supplier that
documents the delivery of services that supports IT in their delivery of service.

Availability Management
•
The goal is optimize the capacity of the IT infrastructure, services,
and supporting organization to deliver a cost effective and sustained
level of availability enabling IT to meet their objectives.
•
Aims to reduce the occurrence and duration of service unavailability
•
Ability of a service or component to perform its required function
over a stated period of time.
Computing and Information Technology
Project and Service Management Office
ITSM – Service Delivery
Availability Management
Availability – amount of time it is accessible as agreed with the customer.
Reliability - to be free from operational failure.
Maintainability (internal) - keeping the service up and running.
Serviceability (external) – contractual with a vendor to assure availability.
Resilience - Redundancy/fault tolerance. How well it survives a failure.
Vital Business Function (VBF) - the service(s) defined as business critical.
Security - confidentiality, integrity, availability of data
Maintenance Windows - a period of time agreed upon that a service will
not be available so service maintenance can be done.

ITSM – Service Delivery
Capacity Management
•
Can be referred to as supply and demand and is responsible for addressing
the evolving demands of the business cost effectively.
•
Involves analyzing the current situation and predicting the future use of the
IT infrastructure and resources needed to meet the expected demand for IT
services.
Computing and Information Technology
Project and Service Management Office
ITSM – Service Delivery
Continuity Management
•
The process that ensures that the required IT technical
services and facilities can be recovered from a failure or
disaster.
•
Service Continuity Planning is a systematic approach to
create a plan and/or procedure to prevent, cope with and
recover from the loss of a critical service for extended
periods.
Computing and Information Technology

ITSM – Service Delivery
Financial Management
•
•
•
•
Identify the actual cost of services provided
Provide accurate and vital financial information to assist in
decision making
Make customers aware of what services actually cost
Cost avoidance relative to the spending of money wisely now
to reduce costs in the future.
