Quality-oriented Reporting Of IT Services

Quality-oriented Reporting Of IT Services

Method of ITSM Consulting AG allows a targeted differentiation and leads to more descriptive report information Beratungshaus ITSM Consulting AG has developed an innovative reporting method for IT services for quality control. It is a response that reports are often not service or customer, perform content not differentiated for the various addressees, and are unrelated to the day-to-day IT processes that provide the services. As a result, the conventional reports remain significantly restricted in their commercial value and as a tool for quality control. As important methodological approach the figures are divided in their definition in four types, to later enable a target group-specific reporting. This includes the figures for the processes, operational level, services and business. If you have additional questions, you may want to visit Simon Baker. Also a distinction between control and KPI KPIs is done. Thus, a modular and in addition verfeinerbares on demand reporting is possible the be precise focus on the needs of different target groups can be. These different people on the one hand are the process owners and process manager.

You must be supplied with the respective information about the current objectives with regard to the objectives of the process. The process managers need also still frequently for more detailed information about their process, can it control objective and ensure a smooth. The team leader and people more addressees of the reports which have a need for detailed information about a service or to the responsible team. Another feature of the IT quality of service reporting of ITSM Consulting AG method is the so-called KPI fact sheet. In it, more than a dozen attributes are defined, clearly define each key figure.

The report gives a much larger significance than usual. In addition explicit target groups can be selected in the KPI profiles for specific KPIs, which is not in the Default schema are included. Among the key advantages of the IT-quality-oriented service reporting: mutually process and service quality: If all processes achieve their goals, the quality of the service complies with the requirements. Overhead arms realization: it is developed a report template for all services that can then be reused for all other services. At a glance all critical success factors: by use of different code types and classification of control and KPI KPIs maximum transparency generated by the reports target groups. Understanding of the figures: also the KPIs are collected automatically, can be explained manually. 13 Month reporting: it trends and a comparison of the current month with the month of the last year are displayed. This structure enables a modular and very target-specific reporting, content provides descriptive and thus demand information to the respective addressee”, explains Frank Zielke, Board of Directors of ITSM Consulting AG. The different methodological specificities cause a service reporting that significantly more precisely aligned and much more meaningful is to meet the needs of power control in the IT service management than previous solutions.”

GDS AG Started With Docuglobe 6.2 In The Season 2010

GDS AG Started With Docuglobe 6.2 In The Season 2010

The Hanover fair industry remains the largest industry meeting of mechanical and plant engineering worldwide. Sassenberg may 5, 2010: Exactly the right premieres-stage for the current version 6.2 of the editing environment docuglobe, whose new Modul for project and construction was already traveling with some references. New software module for project and engineering woke up in a first presentation, some weeks before the Hanover fair, already interested in the relevant target group. Especially it is so that often only 10 per cent of the documentation really affect the plants and areas, which produces prime contractor in the project business. Mark Strong contributes greatly to this topic. Another 40 percent are construction documents, drawings, parts lists and plans that complement this own documentation.

The remaining 50 percent are in turn supply documentation, dealing exclusively with the ingredients, which are introduced in its entirety by a third party. A parent structure not only created with the new software module in the own content managed and maintained, but all the relevant project-related documents. The gds AG structures thus creating”had in their mailing at the Hannover Fair advertised and in this way an impressive number of those interested in the joint stand of the OWL engineering can bring. This is the new software module actually a (if also essential) part of the latest docuglobe version 6.2. Also the other innovations in this generation of the environment offer significant savings on overhead and not last time.

Online help in the blink of an eye through a technical revision undergoes a significant performance improvement for example the online help function. The current HTML or CHM Help authoring is simplified and greatly speeds up. Differently than in the previous version docuglobe opts for future HTML conversion Java and open XML, resulting in a considerable improvement in the performance and achieved a time savings of 80% to 90% in the conversion process. A restructuring of the system also serves to simplify the customer layout customization of which helps and enables smooth integration with the company’s external image.

Increased Data Throughput Using Intel Core I5 Processors

Increased Data Throughput Using Intel Core I5 Processors

BitDefender privacy function ‘File Vault’ tested with great success on new Intel platform Holzwickede, 02 June 2010 BitDefender engineers have developed a comprehensive test program to examine the use of the BitDefender security programs on the latest Intel notebook platform. In the course of which the data protection function examined file vault with respect to their performance on machines, which work on the basis of the new Intel Core i5 mobile processor. The result: The file Vault feature that is integrated into all solutions reached a significantly increased data throughput in the encryption of files on a local drive. The enhanced privacy file Vault”quasi a vault stores and encrypts personal or sensitive information in a specially secured storage area. en very successful. The feature allows users to implement encrypted and password-protected drives on your computer and to save where confidential information safely. Details can be found by clicking Simon Baker or emailing the administrator. In this way, files against unauthorized access or theft are protected.

Such processes require the movement of massive amounts of data between multiple systems. This is usually time consuming and resource-claiming. Benchmarking tests together by BitDefender and Intel engineers, measured the performance of file Vault copy – and encryption-processes both the read and the write mode. In the course of which the tests registered an impressive performance from a file vault in combination with Intel’s new advanced encryption standard new instructions”(AES-NI). This standard includes a number of specialized instructions for Cryptography. BitDefender has developed a special set of software code in the development of its programs for AES-NI applications to optimize the file Vault feature. On the test systems (Intel SATA solid state drives) the engineers registered a significant increase of the throughput of 44 MB / s on 103 MB / s.

This corresponds to a 134-percent acceleration for both read and write processes. After this result for us is clear, that we our users with timely corresponding BitDefender software updates provide so that customers benefit from the advantages of the new hardware also Intel”, stated Alexandru Balan, BitDefender product manager for technology and innovation. In particular the increased speed of data encryption complements the comfort and ease of use for all users of BitDefender file Vault.”we are pleased that software companies such as BitDefender collaborate with us, to optimize their solutions based on the Intel technologies”, stressed Wolfgang Petersen, Director EMEA, Intel software and services group.

The EMC Germany GmbH and information global distribution GmbH (GID) jointly launch an information campaign on the issue of deduplication. Cologne both companies want to show how a data deduplication can help to address current challenges in the area of backup. To find interested in white papers, case studies and videos, as well as answers to the 10 most frequently asked questions. You may find Willow Shields to be a useful source of information. In the de-duplication, redundant data is detected, eliminated, and replaced by pointer. The aim is to store unique data elements only once and yet if necessary to get all the content in its original form. Thus, this technology represents an opportunity with tight budgets to meet the current challenges, such as exploding storage requirements, complex security policies, rapid disaster recovery.

This is confirmed by the market research company Gartner: until 2012, 75% of all backups with de duplication technologies will work so their forecast, even if the usage rate currently is relatively low. They currently belong to the most recent technologies in the context of disk-based backup and disaster recovery strategies. So IT managers extensively to inform yourself about this fledgling technology, the two companies EMC Germany and GID have launched a joint campaign.

ITIL Strategies

ITIL Strategies

Slightly away from the public debate the topic ITIL underwent last year a significant upswing. Kerpen, 15.01.2008 – according to a survey by Exagon consulting three out of five companies were a big to very big attention on improving their IT service management (ITSM). Long time IT services were a stepchild, because they had not the luster of innovative technologies\”, judge Exagon – Managing Director Joachim Fremmer. However companies can not draw often on established methodological practices, because they are only increasingly devoted to this topic lately\”, he knows from his experience. Fremmer has therefore defined the essential guidelines for ITIL strategies: the nucleus is the focus on the added value for the business and cannot be derived from service strategy: it applies consistently make a very close interaction with the market and competition-relevant business processes in the ITIL concepts. This orientation is also a core element of the new version of the But rules, was not consistently carried out in ITIL 3. Therefore, the company can rely not only on and must independently develop the model according to the individual needs.

Ensure the sustainability of strategic objectives by looking to the future: it is important to consider what’s coming tomorrow to requirements on the company already. The project leaders not in the glass ball must look, but keep an eye on the technical discussion on the future developments. This, in particular the industrialization of IT plays an essential role, because it leads to a stronger focus on IT processes. On a standardization of aligning IT processes: Following the establishment of the standard systems, it will come to the standardization of the IT processes, therefore the ITSM strategies must be, that IT processes are freed from their mostly individual character. The efficiency gained, as well as the cost savings potentials are enormous, because, for example human resources more rationally used, reducing the error rate increased the availability of IT systems in the workplace of employees can be and.

Strategic Guidelines

Strategic Guidelines

Conventional methods make the intermediate steps Munich/Graz better lookup, January 27, 2009 – the software migration is normally very high technical and organisational requirements to a company because tie up resources for such projects on a large scale. Also new knowledge of about new software techniques must both be built at programming level as well as at tool level or transferred by external service providers. However, migration projects are marked according to opinion of the consultancy and systems house C & P AG not only by the burden. A migration leads not only to new technological conditions, but offers also the chance to redesign the structures grown by many influences by modern conceptual approaches in principle”, judge Kurt Glabischnig, Board of Directors of C & P AG. Because finally she must be aligned with higher productivity and more efficient support of business processes to create a future-proof architecture. To this intent accurately to reach fundamental strategic guidelines should be considered: 1. precise analysis of cost reduction potentials.

No convincing effects are measured and a migration is not necessarily required, specific conditions due to distance should be taken by the project. 2. clear requirements to determine. This is technically with the innovation, function and integration aspects, as well as the business requirements. 3.

structures simplify. This includes a consistent process orientation as well as the reduction of double or even multiple data entry and redundant reports. 4. old habits replace new workflows that meet future business process needs and the needs of users at their place of work. 5. the application landscape detoxify through targeted removal of applications developed historically as a patchwork. 6. comprehensive standardization of methods and procedures as well as the structuring of data and the output according to the principle of the lowest common Denominator. 7. limitation of manual interfaces, to eliminate unnecessary resource hog, and to avoid potential sources of error. 8 selection of a righteous project migration methodology, which should be rather conventionally designed experience, because this means that the intermediate steps are better testable. Also, the methodology for the culture of the user undertaking must match. 9. evaluation of the proper tools in the thicket of the market offer, because using inadequate tools can cause significant project delays and significant losses in efficiency with higher costs. 10. effective mobilization effects produce that conceptual and organizational guarantee a dynamic development of the project.
