Why is IT Service Management Important?
The answer is clear. Most technology adoption trends have going up. Only few are heading in the opposite direction. Think of telephone landlines.
The chart of Our World In Data says it all. Over the past 100 years, the adoption and the dependency on technology has increased steadily. And there are no indications this will change any time soon. No matter the technology that we are looking at, they all depend on the backing of reliable and quality services. Information Technology (IT) services included.
Effective and efficient management of these IT services has therefore become a critical capability of any organization. When offering services with declining value, one’s future is at stake. Literally. Big name organizations went bankrupt not being able to keep up with the latest technology or delivering service value. Blockbuster, Borders, Kodak, Polaroid, and US Airways are just a few examples.
What is IT Service Management?
IT service management, or ITSM, are the activities that are performed by an organization to design, build, deliver, operate, and control information technology services offered to customers. ITSM is characterized by adopting a process approach towards management, focusing on customer needs and IT services for customers rather than IT systems, and stressing continual improvement.
Successful ITSM adoptions result in organizations becoming service focused. And therefore, customer oriented. The organization’s culture changes from a reactive culture to a proactive culture. Customer experience, or CX, becomes the new mantra. Resulting in stronger and trust-based relationships between those delivering the IT services and those consuming those.
What is FitSM?
FitSM, or fit service management, is a free and lightweight standards family aimed at enabling effective IT service management in the broadest range of organizations. The main goals of FitSM are:
- Create a clear, pragmatic, lightweight, and achievable standard that allows for effective ITSM.
- Offer a version of ITSM which is more accessible for a wider range of environments than traditional ITSM solutions, including federated scenarios such as service supply chains.
- Provide solutions which can be efficiently implemented in organizations ranging from small-to-midsize organizations and start-ups through to large enterprises.
- Define a baseline of ITSM effectiveness that is achievable but can be expanded if necessary. For example, to become ISO/IEC 20000 compliant.
The standard helps you focus on the effective delivery of your services that are of value to your customers. As well as to manage your services to meet the ever-changing requirements of the business and of your customers.
