Study Notes
IHIP Characteristics of Services
- Intangibility: Services cannot be touched or physically possessed, unlike products such as cars or clothing.
- Heterogeneity: Each service delivery varies greatly due to differing customer needs and expectations, complicating standardization.
- Inseparability: Services are produced and consumed simultaneously, often requiring the provider's presence during the service delivery.
- Perishability: Services cannot be stored; once the opportunity to provide a service is missed, it is lost (e.g., unsold hotel rooms).
Evolution of ITIL
- Mid-1980s: ITIL created by the British government to improve IT service quality.
- 1989-1996: ITIL v1 published with over 30 volumes.
- 2000-2001: ITIL v2 released, consolidating 30 volumes into 9 books for better usability.
- 2007: ITIL v3 launched, combining 26 processes into five volumes, focusing on the ITIL service lifecycle.
- 2011: ITIL v3 revised as ITIL 2011 to correct inconsistencies.
- 2019: ITIL v4 introduced a broader service management focus with seven guiding principles.
ITSM Tools and Categories
- Service Desk: Central communication point for proactive service delivery; focuses on long-term solutions and whole process improvement.
- Helpdesk: User-centric, reactionary communication tool for resolving customer issues through a break-fix model.
Choosing ITSM Tools
- Assess team's goals and needs to identify essential features required for aligning tool selection with organizational support experiences.
Virtual Value Chain
- Organizations operate in both physical marketplaces and virtual marketspaces, maximizing interactions through both.
- The virtual value chain enhances service delivery by gathering customer insights and optimizing processes.
- Objectives include creating cost-effective interactions, providing end-user advantages, and ensuring continuous value delivery.
Service Transition
- Involves implementing new services while minimizing disruption to existing operations.
- Key sub-units include:
- Change Management: Integrates new IT services with minimal disruption.
- Release & Deployment Management: Schedules and executes service rollouts with effective testing.
- Service & Validation Testing: Ensures high-quality service availability.
- Service Assets & Configuration Management: Maintains necessary IT assets for service delivery.
- Knowledge Management: Organizes and stores service-related data to optimize resource use.
