History IT 60s – 80s consequences for management • 1960s – 1970s: routine work • Batch processing • Focus: improvement of design and structure of IS • 1980s: everyone wants the latest IT • Personal computer • Local networks • Focus: New products or replace products • Increase of automation budgets • Quality becomes an issue
History ICT 90s consequences for management? • 1990s: critical look at IT • Demands from technical point of view • Demands of users • Demands of management • Internet development • Demands for reliability, performance, security • Complaints about IT(management) and IT services • New concept: client and provider • IT management prevents innovation/development in business?!
Trends in IT disciplines Information architecture professionality Information planning Functional management System development Application management Technical management time
ITSM: a discipline? • Known: Information engineer • knows methods and techniques for System Development • New: Information manager • Need: methods and techniques for management • Familiarity and insight with management of IT • How about governance, compliancy, performance and Business IT alignment? • extension in study of IT • IT Engineer to IT (service) manager • Latest developments: • Methods: ISPL, ITIL, COBIT, IPW, MOF, etc • besides ITIL, there is also ASL and BiSL • governance and architecture, strategic questions
Methods & Techniquesprocess versus project • Engineer is project oriented • Every project is unique and once only • Clear beginning and end • Phases: definition, design, build, implementation • Quality improvement: emphasis on product • Manager is process oriented • Structural character • Plan, do, check, act • Quality improvement: emphasis on process
Methods & Techniques • Since the nineties • ITIL, ASL (2001) and BiSL (2005) • MOF Microsoft Operations Framework • IIM Information Infrastructure Management (TU Twente) • ITPM Information Technology Process Model (IBM) • and for quality: CMM of Six Sigma • For the strategic level (IT Governance) • COBIT, VALIT
In this course • You will use • CMMi • BiSL or ASL or ITIL
Topics • BITA, Governance, architecture (compliance, performance) • Cost reduction ICT (ROI, TCO) • Integration ITIL and ASL (suppliers) and BiSL (client) • Management and control of undocumented systems (legacy-problem) • Security and availability (7*24*52) • Outsourcing, insourcing, co-sourcing, off-shoring, near- shoring, right sourcing and right shoring • Centralisation or decentralisation (result responsibility) • Process-oriented = procedure-oriented or result-oriented? • ….
Why is quality important? • Dependent on ICT • Complexity of ICT • Financial means • 20% development, 80% management / maintenance! • ICT-management should be: • Service-oriented • Client-oriented • Competitive (question of out-sourcing!) • Market of system development and Service Management collide • Adaptable and manageable systems • Change and stability both important • (ISO) certification
Trap or quality • Don’t: Bureaucracy • Management for management’s sake • Redundancy (management of management…) • Creating paper without results • Culture of settling accounts • Do: Business IT Alignment • Balance between results and costs • Quality of IT services • Quantify and justify • Balance between change and stability
Lemniscate customer SLA Service provider Making and controlling agreements Turning agreements into processes
Problems? • Still problems after introduction of ITIL? • ‘specify and quantify’ only once • ‘design and implementation’ follow- through • After ‘tracking and oversight’ only ‘internal’ evaluation and adjustment ► Left under loop is not taken • Consequence: ITServices are no longer aligned to the business • Where is the problem / did it go wrong?
