What is ITSM?

Information Technology Service Management encompasses a range of activities designed to deliver and support high-quality IT services for your business. These can include incident management, problem management, change management, and service-level management.

Additionally, ITSM involves continuous improvement processes to enhance service delivery, increase efficiency and reduce costs. By adopting strong ITSM practices, your business can improve service quality, customer satisfaction and achieve greater alignment between IT and business objectives. This holistic approach ensures that IT services are effective and strategically integrated with your overall business goals.

As ITSM focuses on aligning IT services with your business’s needs, you can ensure that IT processes and services support and enhance business operations. This is achieved through a structured approach to managing IT services, guided by best practices and frameworks such as COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology) and ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library).

These frameworks provide guidance on best practices for delivering and supporting technology services and can help organisations align their IT capabilities with their business goals and objectives.

An overview of the various ITSM frameworks

Several ITSM frameworks guide organisations in delivering high-quality IT services. These frameworks help organisations standardise processes, improve efficiency and align IT services with business objectives.

ITIL

COBIT

ISO/IEC 20000

MOF

This is the most widely adopted framework, offering detailed practices for IT service management to align IT services with business needs.

The Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies framework focuses on governance and management of enterprise IT, ensuring IT supports business goals and compliance.

This international standard specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an ITSM system.

Microsoft Operations Framework provides guidelines for managing IT services across their lifecycle, including planning, delivery, operations, and management.

The ITIL framework

We adhere to the ITIL framework in delivering our ITSM consultancy services. ITIL is a globally recognised set of best practices for ITSM that helps businesses provide consistent, high-quality IT services. By implementing ITIL processes and principles, we ensure that your IT operations are standardised, efficient and aligned with industry standards.

ITIL 4 is the latest version of ITIL, designed to help organisations navigate the new technological era known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This version introduces a more flexible, modern approach to ITSM, emphasising its integration with other areas of business management. Key components include:

Service Value System (SVS): Focuses on value creation through a holistic approach.
Four Dimensions Model: Considers organisations and people, information and technology, partners and suppliers, and value streams and processes.
Guiding Principles: Encourages practices like collaboration, simplicity, and optimisation.

ITSM processes

Effective ITSM revolves around several key processes for continual service improvement. Understanding and implementing these processes can significantly enhance the performance and quality of IT services within your organisation.

Incident management

An incident is anything that disrupts your business operations, including service outages, security incidents, performance issues, or hardware failures. This process in ITSM or ITIL aims to restore normal service operations as quickly as possible, minimising the impact on business operations. It involves logging, categorising, prioritising, and resolving incidents, ensuring minimal disruption to users and the business.

Configuration management

The process of configuration management maintains an up-to-date record of the IT infrastructure, including hardware, software, and network components. A crucial element of this process is the configuration management database (CMDB), which serves as a centralised repository of information about configuration items (CIs) and their relationships. This database supports other ITSM processes by providing accurate data, enabling effective change management and problem resolution.

Change management

Change management is the process that ensures any changes to your IT services are controlled and coordinated. This process evaluates the impact of changes, approving them through a structured workflow, and ensuring successful implementation with minimal risk.

Service level management

Service level management involves defining, negotiating, and monitoring service level agreements (SLAs) between the service provider and the customer. This process ensures that agreed-upon service quality and performance levels are consistently met.

Asset management

This is a process that tracks and manages your IT assets throughout their lifecycle to ensure efficient use and cost control. You maintain an accurate inventory of hardware, software, and other IT resources through this.

Problem management

This problem-management process focuses on identifying, analysing and resolving the root causes of incidents. Proactively addressing underlying issues can prevent recurring incidents. This, in turn, provides improved system stability and reduced downtime.

Request management

This process handles the lifecycle of user service requests, such as access to applications, software installations or information enquiries. It ensures requests are managed efficiently to provide a streamlined approach that fulfils user needs and enhances satisfaction.

Knowledge management

Knowledge management captures, organises and shares knowledge to improve efficiency and support decision-making. By leveraging a centralised knowledge base, your IT teams can quickly resolve incidents and problems, and end-users can find solutions to common issues.
