I guess I was not clear enough.... we are talking about once the system is live... how many bodies will it need to support it and all the processes. The Upgrade/Migration build process we pretty much have covered. Do we need a process manager/architect for each of the applications?

It won't be an upgrade as much as a migration. Management is looking at how many people it takes to support Remedy and the new processes as we move forward. We are going to look at every customization to determine if it is already in the new version. Every time I upgrade, many of my customizations are already there. We have Incident down pat and probably Problem. They are more concerned about Change Management and it's associated processes and Issues since it is a whole new ball game for them. We currently have a home grown CM system that they are going to stop using once this is done. ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe Martin D'Souza Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2010 12:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ITSM 7.6.03 "resources" required ** You got some work ahead of you is what I can say.. BMC Software Support claims that if on ARS 7.1 and ITSM 7.0.03, minimum patch 003, it is possible to directly upgrade to ITSM 7.6. Anyone on the list have attempted this?? As far as you are concerned, I do not think that you could go direct. You would need to upgrade to at least 7.0.03 patch 3 before going higher.. The human resources you would need would depend directly on the extent of customization and how much of that you would want to carry forward...

We are currently a one person shop (me). I have been asked to find out what the "standard" number of people required to manage an entire ITSM 7.6.03 Suite. Do we need a full time designated Change Manager? Problem Manager? This is what I was asked specifically: Please check with other Remedy Admins that you know who are on Service Desk (ITSM) to find out how many resources they have defined as far as process owners. Bob feels like he needs a process owner (or process architect) to own the Change Management process and own this piece of the Service Desk (ITSM). I would like to know how this is being handled elsewhere to help back up Bob's need for an FTE. Any info would be appreciated.
