IT service management best practice frameworks such as the IT Infrastructure Library® (ITIL®) aim to improve the quality of service to customers. This study reports on recent surveys and case studies of organizations which have embarked on IT service management improvement. It highlights specific difficulties experienced by organizations in changing the orientation of staff to customer service rather than technology. Six factors were found to be critical in achieving an effective service-oriented philosophy. The factors are support from senior management; the threat or opportunity to outsource IT services; integration of processes to provide end-to-end service; involvement of business stakeholders; culture change of IT staff to service excellence; and the redesign of processes prior to investing in tools.

Many IT service departments are adopting IT service management best practice frameworks such as the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) to improve the quality of service to customers. This study reports on recent surveys and case studies of organizations which have embarked on IT service management improvement. It highlights specific difficulties experienced by organizations. Six factors were found to be critical in achieving an effective service-oriented philosophy. The factors are support from senior management; the threat or opportunity to outsource IT services; integration of processes to provide end-to-end service; involvement of business stakeholders; culture change of IT staff to service excellence; and the redesign of processes prior to investing in tools. Emergent IT service frameworks such as ISO/IEC 20000, and the CMMI® for Service Delivery are discussed.

The goal of this paper is to present how the Tudor's IT Process Assessment (TIPA®) framework can be used to assess and improve the maturity of IT Service Management (ITSM) processes, and how its usage can increase the business value of IT services. This paper starts with a presentation of the current and of the future process assessment standards. Then, it explains how the authors of this paper have applied the ISO/IEC 15504 standard to the field of IT Service Management to create the TIPA framework. The paper also presents how assessing and improving the maturity of ITSM processes can, under certain conditions, impact the quality of the services provided by an IT organization and consequently the value these IT services bring to the business. Finally, the paper finishes by depicting the current situation as well as the future of the TIPA framework.

Information technology (IT) service management is considered a collection of frameworks that support organizations managing services. The implementation of these kinds of frameworks is constantly increasing in the IT service provider domain. The main objective is to define and manage IT services through its life cycle. However, from observing the literature, scarcely any research exists describing the main concepts of ITSM. Many organizations still struggle in several contexts in this domain, mainly during implementation. This research aims to develop a reference study detailing the main concepts related with ITSM. Thus, a systematic literature review is performed. In total, 47 articles were selected from top journals and conferences. The benefits, challenges, opportunities, and practices for ITSM implementation were extracted, critically analysed, and then discussed.

All production lines are continuously confronted with the phenomenon of waste, especially in IT operations. A waste is assessed in terms of the required resources and the cost employed to solve the problem behind it. Eliminating the waste in daily operations is essential to improve IT service management. This article aims to provide an estimation of the level of potential waste, where waste generation trends are provoked by the activities of IT service management processes. We are going to focus particularly on the possibility of applying a Lean improvement process to IT services processes when using fuzzy logic method. We specifically demonstrate our contribution through the application of fuzzy analysis to the incident management process. This approach also aims at developing a theoretical and pragmatic model and promoting the knowledge of IT experts. In order to make our framework as generic as possible, concepts of IT operations, including the incident management, are inspired by the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), the most prominent framework for IT service governance according to the current literature.

The main objective of this chapter is to present how a formal and standard process assessment - thanks to its repeatable approach and its comparable results - can be an invaluable contribution for improving the IT services in a continual way. This chapter introduces ISO/IEC 15504, the international standard for process assessment. As a generic process assessment framework, ISO/IEC 15504 can be used for determining the capability of processes of any domain. The authors of this chapter have applied this framework in the field of IT Service Management. Their works (described below) have enabled to develop the TIPA® methodology, based on ITIL® version 2. The chapter then discusses the impact that assessments can have on the quality of the assessed processes and, as a consequence, on the services supported by these processes. The chapter finishes by presenting an example of the results and the lessons learnt as perceived by adopters of TIPA.

Motivation Model

The Enterprise Architecture (EA) approach usually considers a set of motivational concepts that are used to model the reasons and motivations that underlie the design and change of organizations, which corresponds to their Business Motivation Model (BMM). Likewise, this BMM is also present in organizations that provide IT services. However, although ITIL has become a standard for performing IT Service Management (ITSM), there is not one holistic solution to integrate EA and ITIL. Therefore, we propose to join both approaches through the definition of a specific Enterprise Architecture to design organizations according to ITIL's best practices to perform ITSM. Thus, this paper's goal is twofold: on one hand to establish that architecture's motivation model, and, on the other, to contribute for a formal identification and representation of the ITIL business motivation model itself.

The Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) provides a framework of best practices for managing of the information technology (IT) services. In the framework of this study it is clear that it does not have space in your body for information architecture. One of the goals information architecture to organize information for decision making, how can this be out of context? The proposed positioning of this paper presents evidence that the perception that the concepts of information architecture are present on the needs of IT service management. This proposal will encourage the union of bodies of knowledge thereby facilitating the creation of strategy and design services.

ZusammenfassungZur Erbringung verschiedenster IT-Service-Management (ITSM)-Prozesse setzen insbesondere Großunternehmen seit Längerem umfangreiche ITSM-Software-Suiten ein. Im Rahmen ihrer Digitalisierungsinitiativen sind sie gegenwärtig verstärkt auf der Suche nach einem ergänzenden Self-Service-Portal. Damit können sich Mitarbeiter in erster Linie über die angebotenen IT-Services informieren und unterschiedliche Service-Request-Typen wie Neubestellungen, Änderungen und Kündigungen initiieren und häufig auch Incidents und Demands erstellen und verfolgen. Die Praxis zeigt, dass sich Unternehmen mit den in ihren jeweiligen ITSM-Software-Suiten als Modul integrierten Self-Service-Portalen hinsichtlich abgedeckter ITSM-Prozesse, allgemeinem Funktionsumfang und User-Experience nicht immer vollumfänglich zufrieden zeigen. Deshalb sehen sie sich vermehrt nach Alternativen um. Der Tool-Auswahlprozess stellt Unternehmensentscheider und IT-Verantwortliche allerdings vielfach vor ein Problem. Die Hauptgründe liegen in der inhärenten Komplexität von ITSM-Software-Suiten und dem großen, aus über 400 Anbietern bestehenden und damit intransparenten Tool-Markt. Vorliegender Beitrag greift diese Problemstellung aus der Praxis auf und geht der Frage nach, welche Tool-Kategorien in diesem Umfeld existieren und inwieweit sich diese jeweils für den Einsatz als Self-Service-Portal mit Schwerpunkt Service-Request-Management eignen. Grundlage der Untersuchung sind eine Internet-Marktrecherche, Gespräche mit erfahrenen Branchenkennern, eine systematische Literaturrecherche, Webseiten von Tool-Herstellern und Telefoninterviews mit Vertretern führender Tool-Hersteller.
