Creating Enterprise Agility through Lean Service Management & DevOps

Why have so many organizations delayed, failed or neglected all together to implement a proper configuration management strategy? Frankly, it's just plain hard. In this bright talk we will walk you through how to approach a Configuration Management implementation, how to sell it as a business project and not an IT project, and what mistakes to avoid to establish an initial working phase that you can build on for success.

All facets of the business demand innovation from IT, but preparing for it requires scope, timing, vision, understanding the competitive landscape, and innovative business processes. This will require new roles, new approaches to funding special projects, value-based metrics, and controls to ensure that the shifts aren't seismic. In this session we'll look at examples of businesses that used big data and analytics, mobile, social media, IoT, or other disruptive technologies to revolutionize their business model, and we'll provide steps that can assist your journey.

Historically IT asset management (ITAM) and IT service management (ITSM) have been managed as separate entities with separate teams and unconnected objectives. In reality they are highly dependent upon each other with intersecting processes and shared data. When processes, data and tools are combined, they bring considerable benefits - reflecting that the whole is considerably more effective than the sum of the parts. Ian Aitchison, ITSM&ITAM Product Director will explore the synergies between ITAM and ITSM, and the benefits an organisation can achieve with greater visibility into the assets that make up its business services.

Organizations must create efficiencies, increase velocity, and at the same time reduce risk in their IT services.
