How Napster Killed ITIL

Remember
Napster?

Napster was founded by Shawn Fanning and his uncle John Fanning, while the
former was attending Northeastern University in Boston. Initially, Napster was
envisioned as an independent peer-to-peer file sharing service.

The service, named after Fanning's hairstyle-based nickname, operated
between June 1999 and July 2001. Its technology allowed people to easily
share their MP3 files with other participants. Its ease of use led to massive
copyright violations of music and film media, as well as other intellectual
property.

Although the original service was shut down by court order, the Napster brand
survived after the company's assets were liquidated and purchased by other
companies through bankruptcy proceedings.

… but what else did Napster do?

"I believe that truly another parallel music industry will be
created alongside the one that presently exists, and that's
the bottom-line stake that traditionalists fear”
- Chuck D, Public Enemy

The Cloud
Service Catalog

• Your service catalog is a resource for the business:
– where they can see the available services
– where they can understand more about those services
– where they can request services and items
… with a familiar user interface

• Your service catalog is a resource for IT:
– where you can standardize your offerings to the business
– where you gather all the right information, right at the start
– where you make the business aware of costs & commitments
… that enables you to deliver faster


And what happens
if you don’t have a catalog?

Your business
users will just
use a different
service catalog

How the market
is changing

Where do we go
from here?


Where do we go
from here?

• Combination of cloud and service catalog is doing the same thing

• Just like your music collection is now ubiquitous, so are your business applications
• Access anywhere
• Access anytime
• Access on any device
• Request anywhere too


So, what’s
the plan?

 Whether you are using cloud today or not, a service catalog must be
included in your future
 Your service catalog must be as easy to use as iTunes
 Your service catalog must be totally integrated with your service
management processes
 Your service catalog must be available to everyone
 Your service catalog must be extensible
 Your service catalog must be service-centric


So, what’s
the plan?

Remember – your business is not deciding
whether to use a service catalog or not

They are deciding which service catalog to use

Make it yours
