Evergreen’s Approach• Helps clients improve these disciplines by:
– Identifying Business Needs – Creating consistent policy– Streamlining associated processes– Automating process and compliance through technology– Auditing the Outcomes
Our Point of View• Driving value from IT – where does it come from?
• Reducing reactive/unscheduled work• Better “Demand Management”• Eliminating redundancies• Reducing complexity• Targeting overspending and resource over-allocation• Improving inefficient processes• Looking at IT overhead
• Accept the commoditization of IT services
• ITIL can help but….. it should not be your end goal • Process improvements rarely succeed without a look at technology and
organization

Q2V – Quick time 2 Value – is a consulting approach that focuses on achieving business results as quickly as possible. The tenants of this approach include:• Prove value early and often• Get aligned with business priorities • Be realistic about what can (and can’t) get done• Establish firm “value” objectives before you begin… and measure progress every step of
the way• Look for value in:

Test & Train
22. Develop deployment plan
23. Identify process test team
24. Train test team on future state processes (user adoption #2)
25. Iterate: shadow new processes along with current production processes in existing data centers as live test cases (do parallel work)
26. Iterate: Document findings and update new process designs as needed, increasing level of detail with each iteration; go to step 22
27. Freeze future state designs & develop detailed procedure tables for production staff
28. Develop training plan and materials for production staff
29. Present final process designs, training plan and deployment plan to stakeholders for signoff
30. Train production staff on new workflows (user adoption #3)
