The Benefits of IT Service Management Adoption
1. The Opportunity and the Risk
Copyright © 2003
Why Should You Care About IT Service Management ?
Copyright © 2003
Based on data from Gartner Measurement, organizations could achieve a reduction of some 48% in their annual Total Cost of Ownership by
adopting IT Service Management
….and that is before considering the non-IT related benefits, such as higher levels of external customer
satisfaction, will bring to the business

Does IS Service Match Client’s Expectations?
Where is your IS organization today? Where does it want to be and why?Where do clients think it is today? Where do they want it to be and why?
Are all these answers the same? If not, why not?

The Internal Service Organization’s Traditional Monopoly Power is Eroding — Quickly. Become customer-centric and learn to
compete, or fall by the wayside.
Warning! Change Is Coming Fast — Don’t Get Caught in the Headlights!

technology.
ESP use grows; strategic sourcing and
supply / demand alignment are critical

foundation for delivering greater

Recommendations
First define your goals, then define your services.
ITSM excellence will be a prerequisite for demonstrating business value and driving out inefficiency. But you don’t have much time.
ITSM excellence is a constantly moving target - get it working internally. But the ends in “end-to-end” are moving.
ITSM is about cultural and behavioural change - don’t lose sight of that.
There are big savings available. Set your sights high !The IT Industry is maturing - ITSM Excellence will be a prerequisite
