Abstract
> The CMDB has emerged as a critical component for aligning IT with
the business. By leveraging CI classes and CI relationships to map
Business Services to IT components, organizations can realize greater
value from their IT processes by providing a more comprehensive
business view around quality, cost, and value. In this session we focus
on demonstrating the benefits of a common services definition to
support the ITIL v3 lifecycle through the application of change and
configuration management applied to business services. In particular
we describe how the integration of Service Catalog, Service Desk, the
CA CMDB, NSM, and SPECTRUM from a service perspective supports
"best practices" from the Consumer side of IT. Issues pertaining to
better demand management, financial management, service level
management, and IT service continuity management will also be
discussed.

Agenda
> Understanding the End-Point
> Defining a Service – the LENS of IT to the Business
> ITIL v3 – the Engine
> An Example: Manage Infrastructure as an IT Service

What is a 360 Degree View of IT?

Speaks the

contracts for (business cases, requirements, SLAs)
• Capture business meaningful metrics and KPIs
• Services are building blocks of business processes
Enables business
oriented
investment
decisions
• 360 degree insight into all aspects of a service
• Analyze all service aspects to decide where to invest
• Align service investments with business objectives
Manages service
components with
business priorities
• Prioritize service work (changes, projects) on business
impact
• Proactively monitor and manage critical assets
Unified Service Model
Overview
Ensures that
services are
compliant
• Manage identity and entitlement through service-focused
security management
• Identify service component risks & mitigate with controls

Services Visualization
> The three perspectives of
creating a 360 degree view
 Services are a hierarchy of
resources intelligently
assembled in end-to-end
perspective
 Understanding the nature of a
service in both a transitioning
and operational manner as it
is presented to management
 Identifying the contributing
roles and authoritative
sources to manage
configuration information

Fortune 500 Financial Institution
A Bird’s eye view of a Service
> Services are
made up of many
layers
> Connecting layers
is what makes
Services robust
but complicated
> Tight Coupling is
what makes
management of
operations and
changes difficult

End-to-End Application View
> Critical to a Services is understanding what and how a service
is constructed, delivered and supported

A Bird’s Eye View of a Portfolio of Services
> A Typical View of a Services
Portfolio
> Challenge is to organize
Services into profiles and
patterns, and personalities
> Build a Services Model and
reflect it in the IT Information
Model
> Leverage concepts such as
ITIL, SOA, CISSP, CobiT,
CMDBf to organize the
infrastructure

ITIL v3 - Service Transition

> Connect an IT Strategy with through the identification of
Services from a Business Perspective
> Define and leverage a Services Model built into the CMDB
> Improve Change adoption through the CMDB to Support a
market competitive Governance processes

> Leverage a holistic approach to Asset, Change, and
Configuration Management simultaneously
> Ensure the Asset Lifecycle Management process is coordinated
with a Services Lifecycle Management
> Leverage the CMDB to properly plan and support Services
through Quality Management and defined SLAs

> Coordinate Change efforts with Project Efforts
> Ensure Deployment of Services (Release Management) takes
into account the existing infrastructure (capture the context)
> Track changes being made to ensure integrity of CMDB
> Communicate with stakeholders

ITIL v3 – Service Operations

> Build a information repository to support ITIL’s processes
> Manage both Demand and Fulfillment in a coordinated manner
> Build various lenses to view services (systems mgmt, financial
mgmt, operations mgmt, security mgmt)
> Track Events and its impact to the Business

> Manage coordination of Incident, Problem, Change, and Release
Processes
> Identify the context of a CI and its upstream and downstream
and manage it through a lifecycle perspective (both asset and
services perspective)
> Provide context for Service Improvement Plans
