Prezados (as),

Como temos falando muito em termos da nova versão do iTil, SLAs, mercado de 
governança de Ti, etc segue uma newsletter bem interessante.

Gostaria de destacar

1.ISO 20000 Almost Ready!
2. The ITIL Certification Register http://www.certification-register.org
3. The SLA and Security - Quite simply, in security terms, an SLA is essential 
to govern and define the receipt of all critical services. It should identify 
not only what security measures  are in play, but matters such as what happens 
when there is a breach (for example, who is responsible for what actions).

The ITIL and ISO 20000 Newsletter will be revisiting issues related to the SLA 
frequently in the future, and makes no apologies for doing so. Too often we see 
 organizations applying significant effort and resources in other areas, but 
short-cutting on this key issue.
4. How Global is ITIL?

Espero que ajude

THE ITIL & ISO 20000 NEWSLETTER
____________________________


Welcome to the fourth issue of the ITIL and ISO 20000 newsletter, designed to 
keep you abreast of news and developments with respect to both ITIL and IT 
service management generally. The information contained in this newsletter is 
absolutely free to our subscribers and provides guidance on various practical 
issues, plus commentary on recent issues. 

Included in this issue are the following topics: 

1)  The ITIL Refresh
2)  ISO 20000 Almist Ready 
3)  An ITIL Certification Register
4)  The SLA and Security
5)  Around the Forums 
6)  Newsletter Contributors
7)  How Global is ITIL?
8)  Subscription Information


The ITIL Refresh
================

As is widely known, a process has been started which will ultimately result in 
the 'refresh' of ITIL (sometimes referred to as ITIL Version 3). By virtue of 
the size  of the exercise, however, this will take a considerable time. In fact 
the projections are for years, rather than months, from start to finish. What 
are termed  'tranches' will be published in the interim. 

The objective of this exercise is to improve the 'applicability & usefulness' 
of ITIL itself. Development started following a lengthy, but relatively 
limited,  consultation exercise. 

The four identified 'tranches' of the exercise are 'Web based tools', 
'Qualifications', 'Consolidated books', and 'ITIL for the non information 
technology Manager'.  The major concepts of ITIL, which are usually considered 
to be 'Service Support' and 'Service Delivery', are included in the second of 
these phases. Although  predictions are extremely difficult, most of the 
experts we have consulted suggest that substantial changes with respect to 
these two sets are extremely unlikely. 

Other enhancements often predicted relate to: consistency, case studies, 
inclusion of "cultural issues", links to other frameworks, and the inclusion of 
return on investment. 



ISO 20000 Almost Ready!
=======================

Much closer on the radar is the publication of the service management standard: 
ISO 20000. This is a significant development. ISO 20000 is essentially the 
re-publication of BS15000, with some modifications. These largely amount to the 
following:

 - Alignment of Part 1 and Part 2 structures
 - Standardization of terms such as 'service provider', 'organization', 
'business' and 'supplier'
 - Clarification of the wording of some requirements
 - A small number of changes to the requirements themselves.
  
It is stated that it will cover the aspects of ITSM that are the cause of 80% 
of the total spend on IT by most organizations. The standard will provide a 
common understanding of the management of IT services worldwide.

Like BS15000, it will be published as two distinct documents: ISO 20000-1 and 
ISO 20000-2. The former, ISO20000-1, is the Specification for Service 
Management. The second, ISO20000-2, will be the Code of Practice for Service 
Management.

Upon publication it will be available for download from BSI's StandardsDirect 
outlet: http://20000.standardsdirect.org

The ITIL Certification Register
===============================

A problem often cited with respect to the ITIL qualification is the lack of a 
central register of qualified individuals. Clearly this would be difficult to 
achieve.

However, a voluntary register is already in place, and have been for several 
years. This is housed at http://www.certification-register.org and is operated 
in association with the ITIL Open Guide (http://www.itlibrary.org), which is a 
public access initiative, and is supported by a number of ITIL service 
providers.

Qualified individuals are invited to add their details directly, including date 
of qualification. 



THE SLA AND SECURITY
====================

Not too long ago service level agreements (SLAs) were the exception, rather 
than the norm. Fortunately, however, most organizations are now aware of the 
importance  of these documents and related contracts. However, it is equally 
clear that too many SLAs are woefully inadequate, both in terms of quality and 
supporting  procedures. This can be a real Achilles heel, and indeed, in some 
scenarios a significant security risk. 

Most readers of this newsletter will be well aware of the role of an SLA in 
terms of quality, but from the security angle, the issues can be even more 
stark.

Quite simply, in security terms, an SLA is essential to govern and define the 
receipt of all critical services. It should identify not only what security 
measures  are in play, but matters such as what happens when there is a breach 
(for example, who is responsible for what actions).

The same applies to service availability. This is sometimes covered in its own 
specific schedule within the agreement, and is often the most difficult aspect 
to  agree. However, from a business continuity viewpoint it is critical that it 
properly meets the needs of the service recipient.  

Then there are changes to the SLA itself. How are these governed? The SLA is an 
important document, and controls must be applied to ensure that changes, and 
their  implications, are formally and properly considered, and signed off at 
the correct level. Changes to the Agreement should be handled under agreed 
change control  procedures. It is normally recommended, however, that the 
Client organization establishes some form of specific Steering Committee which 
will be responsible for  controlling and monitoring the SLA and changes to the 
Services, service 
measurement criteria or the Agreement itself. The following process is fairly 
common in  medium and large organizations:
- The nominated Client Representative should submit a Services Change Request 
on behalf of the user area to the Supplier for consideration and costing. 
- The Supplier should review the feasibility of the Services Change Request and 
provide an estimate of the time/work required 
- The Client Representative and the Supplier should jointly present the 
Services Change Request to the SLA Steering Committee 
- Steering Committee is to approve or reject the Services Change Request. 
- The Steering Committee should consider the impact on contracts and agreements 
between the two parties and the budgetary issues 
- The Service Change Request, if approved, is then incorporated into the 
Service Level Agreement. 

The ITIL and ISO 20000 Newsletter will be revisiting issues related to the SLA 
frequently in the future, and makes no apologies for doing so. Too often we see 
 organizations applying significant effort and resources in other areas, but 
short-cutting on this key issue.

Around the Forums
=================

A selection of interesting recent threads from the various newsgroups and 
forums:

http://www.itilcommunity.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=730
Having taken the ITIL Foundations course, I believe my role falls under Release 
Management. I intend to develop a checklist of items to be used by the Project 
Manager indicating the completion status of the Change Items. I would expect 
this checklist to be presented at an ORR board meeting. At that meeting I 
expect to gather the Operational Readiness and Risks of the Change Item from 
various stakeholders, and present that to someone or some group for a Go/No-Go 
decision. 

My question is, within the ITIL world, who gives that final Go/No-Go decision 
to implement? Is there some sort of Implementation Board under RM? Some level 
of Executive decision making? What are other companies doing in this 
regard?...Thanks


http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ITIL-Service/message/194
I am trying to get buy in for the creation of a service catalog as the next 
step in developing formal service levels.  I am being asked the following 
questions from our CIO:

What are the top 5 specific benefits for us doing this? The benefits should be 
better quality or service as seen by our business partners, or improved 
efficiency (bottom line) of the department.  I already pulled the benefits from 
an HDI publication and the ITIL booksets but it was not tangible nor specific 
enough.

Could someone show me an example of what it looks like, and how it is (will be) 
used? Does anyone have an example of a working service catalog that is 
providing the said benefits?
 

http://www.itilcommunity.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=220
Are Asset Management and Configuration Management the same? How do they 
overlap? How do they differ? I have my own beliefs and have the ITIL opinion (I 
am Manager's/Master's Certified). Just wanted to gather some data to take to my 
manager and our Config Manager to help get them on the same page. I need more 
than just my own opinions. 


http://www.itilcommunity.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=117
What is the difference between Exin and ISEB in terms of Foundations exam? I 
checked and found ISEB fee to be 20 pounds higher than Exin. Does that mean 
anything? Does either of the bodies have any advantages over the other?

  Subject: [itsm_br] Governança de TI e lucros


  Governança conduz a lucros, diz MIT
  Gazeta Mercantil - 17/11/05

  São Paulo, Empresas com arquitetura de TI madura realizam tarefas com 29% 
  mais agilidade. As empresas que adotam a governança da área Tecnologia da 
  Informação (TI) são 20% mais lucrativas. E as que detêm arquitetura 
  tecnológica mais madura possuem 29% mais agilidade. As conclusões fazem 
  parte de estudo realizado com empresas globais de forte presença em seus 
  setores pelo Centro para Pesquisas de Sistemas da Informação (CISR) da 
  escola de negócios Sloan, do Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

  Responderam à pesquisa sobre governança 256 grandes companhias e sobre 
  arquitetura de TI, 103. Também 50 empresas foram analisadas de perto, entre 
  as quais norte-americanas, européias ou da Ásia.

  "Não podemos afirmar que há relação direta de causa e efeito entre a 
  governança de TI e lucros maiores. Podemos imaginar que sim. As empresas com 
  melhor desempenho possuem governança", diz a principal pesquisadora 
  cientista do CISR, Jeanne Ross, trazida ao Brasil pela HP para estender os 
  estudos às enpresas locais.

  Quanto às que detêm infra-estrutura madura, há percepção de economia nos 
  gastos em TI, em um primeiro momento, e depois tendem a investir mais, mas 
  com maior geração de valor, defende Jeanne.

  A abordagem tradicional para a utilização de TI é a adaptação da 
  infra-estrutura toda vez que há uma necessidade de negócios. "O problema, 
  neste caso, é que TI acaba sendo sempre o gargalo", diz a pesquisadora. 
  "Ouvi de um executivo de um banco de investimentos que é um milagre seus 
  projetos saírem com essa estrutura."

  Neste baixo nível de maturidade, pode haver silos de negócios pela empresa, 
  cada um com sua própria infra-estrutura. Segundo o estudo, 12% das maiores 
  empresas estão nesse estágio, muitas do segmento farmacêutico e bancos de 
  investimentos.

  A primeira evolução passa pela padronização de TI para toda a corporação. 
  Quase metade das companhias (48%) se encontra nesse nível. Jeanne 
  exemplifica com a Toyota Europe que, antes de padronizar seus sistemas, 
  obtinha receita anual maior, mas o lucro permanecia estacionado.

  Do universo estudado, 40% das empresas estão nos dois estágios mais 
  avançados de arquitetura, o de negócios otimizados - em que a 
  infra-estrutura está padronizada e enxuta - e o de modularidade de 
  negócios - em que os processos estão altamente alinhados com a tecnologia e 
  possuem métricas para provar isso. Um exemplo é a British Telecommunications 
  (BT), que pode entregar projetos a cada 90 dias e avaliar os resultados em 
  outros 90 dias.

  Jeanne estima que leva de cinco a dez anos para as empresas perceberem os 
  benefícios da governança. Mas acredita que esses esforços e os de adesão às 
  exigências regulatórias - como o Ato Sarbanes-Oxely e o Novo Acordo da 
  Basiléia - só engessam as corporações que se encontram nos dois primeiros 
  estágios.
