  2. What is the mission of the Information Technology Risk Management group? According to the Network & Information Security (NIS) webpage: “ITRM administers ISAAC and Information Security Awareness Training, and works to meet mandatory requirements for State and Federal Laws”. http://nis.tamu.edu/About/NIS/ITRM.php

  3. According to the latest ITRM Values and Vision Retreat: “Information Technology Risk Management’s purpose is to support Information Technology compliance and risk management by providing expertise and a framework of policies, guidelines, and tools to the university community in areas such as information security, web accessibility and project management”.

  5. Do we provide IT Services? • IT Services can be defined as: “the full management- maintenance and operation of the IT infrastructure”(Foundations, p.15). In other words, ITRM plays a critical role in the operation of the Texas A&M University- IT infrastructure by providing services that ensure the proper access and use of resources. Latest Update: 05/09/12 S:\CISShare\itrm\ITRM\TeamBuilding

  6. How can we manage IT Services? • ITRM Leadership has decided to use The Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) approach in order to manage the services provided. • ITIL is a set of best practices observed and implemented in the IT service industry. • ITIL suggests generating a service portfolio with all services that were/are/will-be offered by the organization. This portfolio consists of three sections: • Retired Services • Service Catalog • Pipeline Services (Dreams) Foundations of IT Service Management based on ITIL

  7. What is a service portfolio? According to ITIL V3 Foundations Handbook: “The service portfolio represents the ability and readiness of a service provider to serve customers and Market Spacers. It represents all the resources presently engaged or being released in various phases of the Service Lifecycle”.

  8. How can a service portfolio benefit my organization? • A service portfolio helps to clarify the following questions: • Why should a customer buy these services? • Why should they buy these services from you? • What are the pricing or chargeback models? • What are my strengths and weakness, priorities, and risk? • How should my resources and capabilities be allocated? ITIL V3 Foundations Handbook

  9. What is a service catalog? According to the ITIL Service Design framework a service catalog is defined as follows: “A database or structured document with information about all live IT services, including those available for deployment. The service catalogue is the only part of the service portfolio published to customers, and is used to support the sale and delivery of IT services. The service catalogue includes information about deliverables, prices, contact points, ordering and request processes”.

  10. How can a service catalog benefit my organization? • Provides clarity on what services are available and how to obtain them. • The process of generating a service catalog allows the organization to reflect about the customer perspective. • The process of generating a service catalog provides the opportunity to decompose services into components. It helps to identify gaps and redundancies as well as areas of improvement. • Provides an entry point for service level and customer expectation.

  11. Consequences of not having a service portfolio/catalog • Over-commit or under-deliver • Obsolete services still consuming resources • Wasted resources from overbuilding • Business expectations missed Service Portfolio Mgmt & Service Catalog ITIL V3
