ITIL® (pronounced 'Idol'), or Information Technology
Infrastructure Library, is gaining popularity in the management of
IT Services...not just in Industry but in Higher Education as well.
Hobart and William Smith Colleges is beginning to use the ITIL®
framework to transform the way it provides services to the
Colleges. During this session, the CIO and Director of Operations
and Technical Support from Hobart and William Smith Colleges
will walk you through how the Colleges are using ITIL, including
Incident Management, Problem Management, the beginning
stages of creating a Service Catalog, developing internal
Operating Level Agreements (OLA's), establishing Service Level
Agreements (SLA's) and creating metrics. Approaching service
in this way, will allow you to create meaningful metrics that the
customer can understand and that the IT support personnel will
buy into. Involving key customers and IT personnel throughout
the process is critical to success. We will talk about our approach
to involving both IT support personnel and customers in each step
of the process.
