1 Introduction Capgemini Service Center (CSC) is a web-based help desk application developed by Capgemini

specifically to meet the needs of its customer base. CSC is a secure and interactive application that

provides a single point of reference where both you and Capgemini oversee the initiation, management,

and resolution of services.

The site provides a central location to manage the flow of tasks and actions that ensure the successful

implementation and management of ongoing projects. It encompasses the full scope of joint

responsibilities including initiation and tracking tickets, central locale for customer information, service

level agreements and helpdesk functions. It also incorporates documentation, change control, and

process administration for Capgemini Hosting support functions.

The primary CSC features are: Service Requests, Change Control Requests, Transport Requests (SAP-

specific) and Reporting.

Additional features include:

• Complete Capgemini contact information

• Issue escalation procedures

• Current information / alerts

• Historic data trends

• Service level agreement (SLA) reports / data

NOTE: Throughout this guide, the terms ticket and request are used interchangeably as general terms

that refer to CSC Service Requests. Additionally, Change Control Requests and Transport Requests are

special variants of Service Requests for which special verification / approval workflows and rules apply.

1.1 What Does CSC Do For You? Using CSC, a customer or a Capgemini support person can:

• Submit a Service Request

• Track and comment the Service Request through its life cycle

• Submit a Change Control Service Request, which could be a:

o SAP Transport Request

o Infrastructure change

o Hardware change

o Software change

Capgemini Support personnel, Service Desk, and Operations Staff can:

Page 6: Capgemini Service Center (CSC) User Guide

5 Version 3.7

Capgemini Service Center (CSC) User Guide Introduction

• Assign tickets

• Update tickets with status

• Close tickets

• Perform authorized Change Control requests

• Add task and status updates

Capgemini account managers can:

• Create new user IDs

• Manage escalations

• Create user 'authorization' role assignments

• Can create various reports to support the needs of the engagement

1.2 Open Editing The CSC relies on open editing which allows Capgemini service people and customers to create and edit

content throughout the overall support process, from the initiation of a Service Request up until the

Service Request is closed. The CSC reports its statistics by taking into account any or all open editing

that was performed on the Service Request. Open editing reflects the value Capgemini places on

establishing greater real-time interaction with our customers.

1.3 Customer First Approach With its customer-friendly presentation the CSC is easy-to-use. For each call, a client can follow clearly

and quickly all activities to resolve a Service Request, including the time taken to resolve the request.

Activities and time-to-resolve durations are periodically reported to the customer and can be used as

the basis for customer billing.

In keeping with ITIL best practices for change control, CSC historically documents work performed,

problem resolution for audit requirements, while requiring a formal Service Request for all project work.

The nature of the Service Request allows Capgemini to respond effectively while meeting service level

agreements by severity and priority.

The outcomes of Service Requests can vary. Some result in Capgemini projects of varying scope that are

closed only when the project effort progresses to a working implementation. Others are less involved

like routine Service Requests, Change Control Requests, or SAP Transport Requests to fix and apply code

changes.

1.4 Your CSC Account An overview of the account setup process looks like this:

1. Once working agreements are in place, the Capgemini account, engagement, or project

manager develops a company profile in CSC. The profile includes contract information,

escalation options, service level agreements (SLA), expiration dates, and so forth.

Page 7: Capgemini Service Center (CSC) User Guide

Capgemini Service Center (CSC) User Guide Getting Started

2. The Capgemini account manager defines privileges to the Capgemini associates who are

responsible for servicing your business needs.

3. The customer account contact identifies the team members who will be working with CSC to his

Capgemini counterpart.

The Capgemini account, engagement, or project manager sets up accounts for the customer team. The

client manager adds all inventory and configuration requirements.

8. The system also issues an email acknowledgement to the requestor and all watchers. The Capgemini

Support Team, Requestor, and all watchers receive e-mail notification when the ticket is created,

updated, edited, or closed.

person adds information, new activities, closes the ticket and so on, the system issues e-mail

acknowledgements.

4.2 Open Service Request via E-Mail A Service Request can be created by sending an e-mail to [email protected]. If you have an

ID within CSC (same as your email address) the helpdesk system opens a ticket with the contents of the

email as the “Ticket Details”. The subject line of the e-mail becomes the “Title”. The sender becomes

the “Requestor” and the CC line of the e-mail adds watchers to the ticket.

Page 29: Capgemini Service Center (CSC) User Guide

28 Version 3.7

Capgemini Service Center (CSC) User Guide Service Requests

All email tickets are opened with default values for priority, severity, assignment, type, category, and

application unless overridden using the advanced parameters documented below. The defaults are

defined when your Company is created within CSC.

Advanced functionality includes parameters that the user can pass via subject line to update different

fields of the ticket. To specify a custom value the format would be [customervalue:value] located in the

subject line. An example would be [Priority:Medium]. The Subject line needs to be in the following

format:

To create a ticket: Ticket Title [parameter1: value1] [parameter2: value2] [etc…]

The CC line of the e-mail allows the addition of watchers to the request including the

auto watchers list (this assumes a user with the corresponding e-mail address already

exists in CSC).

The Body of the e-mail will become the ticket description.

To update a ticket: Ticket# [parameter1: value1] [parameter2: value2][etc.]

The body of the email will become the activity description.

Additionally, there are many parameters that can be used to create or update any ticket field including:

• Application

• Call source

• Call type

• Category

• Change Control Approval

• Change Control Category

• Change Control Type

• Change Impact

• Change Type

• Environment

• Priority

• Root Cause

• Severity

• Status

• Transport Timing If any parameter or value name is misspelled or if the value name is not applicable to the user’s

company, CSC will still create/update the ticket, but will e-mail the user with the notice that one or

several parameters and/or values were incorrect.

Users can send an empty email with the subject line “help” to [email protected] and the

CSC system will respond with all the available parameter names and values for the user’s company.

Page 30: Capgemini Service Center (CSC) User Guide

29 Version 3.7

Capgemini Service Center (CSC) User Guide Service Requests

Ticket Title can be sent as one of the parameters in the subject line as well as writing it in the subject

line as a standalone value.

The Company id parameter will allow a ticket to be created under a different company the user has

access to. If the user does not have access to the specified company, the system will ignore this

parameter and create a ticket under the user’s default company.

All the parameter names and values are case-insensitive

4.3 Update/Edit Service Request The “Edit Service” request lets you update select descriptive fields and allows for files to be attached to

service requests.

1. From the Service Requests section or by using the Smart Search function, locate the ticket to

update. Select the ticket by clicking on the request number and the request will be opened in Edit

mode and display a screen similar to the following:

5 Change Control

5.1 Overview Change management is a crucial component to ensure that standardized methods and procedures are

used for efficient and prompt handling of all changes to IT infrastructure. This helps to mitigate risk and

minimize the number and impact of any related incidents upon service. CSC can be leveraged to

manage change control and can be integrated into a customer’s current change management processes

and procedures. Change control requests are generally defined in two major categories: SAP Transport

requests or Infrastructure/Hardware/Software requests.

5.2 SAP Transport Requests All change control processes are started with a change control request either from or for the customer.

Change controls are subject to approval by the individual(s) designated as “approvers” of the

corresponding change control type.

1. From the main Help Desk screen under the Actions menu, select “New Change Control”.

5-1 : New Change Control Menu

2. Using the pull-down menus, set values for the following fields: Priority, Change Type, Change

Impact, Change Control Category, Severity, Environment, Transport timing and Due date (if needed

by a specific time, such as after hours at 23:00:00). Note: As this request is a transport request, do

not change the Status, Change Control Type or Call Type.

3. Complete the data fields, as follows:

• SAP transport number - enter the SAP transport request number(s)

• Description - Enter the transport description and any special actions that need

to be taken.

4. If there are multiple transports, and you would like to enter them on an MS Excel spreadsheet, use

the Attachments tab. Browse to attach the spread sheet and then indicate in the *Description field

that the transports are detailed in the attached spreadsheet.

5-2 : Title and Ticket Details Form

5. Select Submit Ticket and the new change control request will be submitted. Note the transport

defaults to an Approval Status of ‘Pending Approval’.

5-3 : Approved Change Control

An acknowledgment e-mail is sent to the requestor and to the Capgemini support staff. A ‘Change

Control Approval’ email is also issued to individuals in your company designated with approval roles.

5-4 : Change Control Approved Email

6. The email received by the designated company Approver(s) includes Approve or Decline links.

5-5 : New Change Control Email for Approval or Decline

7. The approver(s) select either Approve or Decline. The approver(s) are then prompted to log on to

https://service.capgeminihosting.com. The Transport Request displays with an ‘Approved’ status.

The status can be changed back to Declined again if there is a reason for doing so after the initial

approval.

8. Once the transport is approved, the Capgemini Hosting Team imports the transport into the

requested system(s) at the specified times (if indicated). They first run a query in the CSC using

advanced search options, selecting Change Control Status of In Progress

5-6 : Change Controls In Progress

Page 35: Capgemini Service Center (CSC) User Guide

34 Version 3.7

Capgemini Service Center (CSC) User Guide Change Control

9. The Capgemini Hosting Team selects the approved request and reviews the description field for any

special handling and target destinations

10. Once the transport is completed, the Capgemini Hosting Team updates the CSC Transport Request.

Select Status to change the ticket status to one of the following:

• Completed - Success

• Completed - Warnings, or

• Completed – Failed

5-7 : Service Request Status Update

11. The Capgemini Hosting Team then enters the transport return code in the Activity Description field.

5-8 : Transport Return Code

12. An email notification is then sent to the Requester informing him of the Transport results.

Capgemini Service Center (CSC) User Guide Change Control

5-9 : Request Closed Email Example

5.3 Infrastructure/Hardware/Software Requests The process to create a Change Control Request for an Infrastructure, Hardware or Software change is

similar to creating a Transport Request. It requires the same authorization procedures as a Transport

Request.

For any company there can be more than one designated approver, each with different levels of

approval. For example, approval for Development, Test and / or Production Environments, and approval

roles for each of the four Change Control types. Following are examples of varying approval levels:

• User [email protected] may have approval roles for Test (includes all levels below

Development), for Transports and approval roles for Production for Hardware Change Control

Type

• User [email protected] might have approval roles for Production Level for all

Transports (includes development, test, sandbox and so on), Production level for Software, but

only Development for Hardware and Infrastructure.

• User [email protected] may have Production-level authorization for all four change

control types.

To create a new Change Control Ticket:

Page 37: Capgemini Service Center (CSC) User Guide

4. Assign values to Change Control Category, Severity, Environment, Category, and Due

Date.

5. Enter a brief description into Title field.

6. Enter a detailed description into the Description field.

3. Select SUBMIT

5-11 : Adding a Change Control

4. As occurs with any new Change Control - Transport Requests, CSC issues an email to the

creator of the ticket and the Capgemini Support team.

Page 38: Capgemini Service Center (CSC) User Guide

37 Version 3.7

Capgemini Service Center (CSC) User Guide Reporting

5. CSC issues a Change Control Approval e-mail to company approvers who have responsibility

for the proper level and type; in this case Hardware – Production

6. The approver selects the Approve link in the e-mail (same as for Transport Requests). (The

approver does not have to use the link in the Change Approval email for any of these four

types of Change Control requests. The approver can log in directly or, if already logged in,

can select the Change Control icon on the Help Desk Screen.)

7. Once the list of change control requests is displayed on the CSC, the approver selects the

change control request, and then changes Approval Status. After the company approver

approves the change, the task requested is performed and the ticket will be updated with

the corresponding information.

8. CSC closes the ticket and an acknowledgement email is issued.

8-24 : Assigned Companies

Larger devices like the iPad and the iPad mini can offer much more information on the same screen.

Our application has taken full advantage of the larger screen and allows working on tickets and service

requests without losing visibility to other items within the system.

Basic application functionality is the same on an iPad device, but there are some differences in the way

the information is presented.

8.6.1 Portrait vs Landscape Mode and Navigation In Portrait Mode, the current content will take the entire screen of the application:

8-25 : IPad Portrait Mode

To access the filter menu, either slide your finger from the left edge of the screen or press the Menu

button located at the upper-left:

In either mode, navigation within the application will be the same. Tickets can always be accessed from

the left menu bar. Additional areas can be accessed through the main menu located at the upper right

area of the application:

8.6.2 Working with Data On a larger screen device, instead of navigating from one screen to the next, the application uses popup

menus to complete required fields. In most cases, you will remain on the same screen during the entire

session. Below are a few examples of options that use a pop up menu.

Adding an Activity to a Ticket:
