IT organizations that want to achieve the full business value from Service Management initiatives need consistent, current, accurate, and secure information.  That's why an increasing number of IT organizations are seriously looking at how a configuration management database (CMDB) can help them manage their infrastructure more effectively.  A CMDB should work in harmony with IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL®) best practices for Service Management.  This presentation will discuss the value a CMDB can bring to both IT and the business, and describe how a CMDB can work in harmony with ITIL® best practices to enhance Service Management.

Here's a brief description of IT Service Management, brought to you by ITSMP.com – the IT Service Management Portal.

Service Management offers process guidance, and a “road map” to IT solutions.  Service Management does not offer, as many people believe, turnkey solutions.  Because each business and IT environment is different, IT Service Management can provide guidelines and best practices which can be adapted to a wide range of circumstances.

IT Service Management can help align IT services with the current and future needs of the business and its customers.  IT Service Management is about managing change across the organization.  While Project Management focuses only on a particular project, Service Management is focused on integration of all projects with all departments to provide cohesion and consistency within the entire organization.

Where should an organization begin with IT Service Management?  This depends on the maturity level of the IT organization as a whole and the maturity of the individual Service Management processes.  It also depends on the strategic goals set by a particular organization.

IT Service Management processes are divided into two core areas:  IT Service Delivery and IT Service Support.

There are five core Service Support and five core Service Management Service Delivery processes within IT Service Management.  These core IT Service Management processes relate to the provision of the support of services to the User.  The five IT Service Support processes are:  Incident Management, Change Management, Release Management, Problem Management and Configuration Management.  The five IT Service Delivery processes are:  Service Level Management, Financial Management, Capacity Management, Availability Management and Continuity Management.
