Summary

The importance of business technology (BT) has led to the rise of DevOps (development + operations), which is supported by modern service delivery — delivering business services at a heightened speed while maintaining quality to ensure great customer experience. This need for speed means that infrastructure and operations (I&O) professionals must not only ensure the availability and performance of business services, but provide real-time information to consumers as well. We call this a situational awareness approach to performance management, which must become a strategic priority in your firm's BT agenda. This report outlines the performance management best practices for I&O executives working on a modern service delivery strategy. The report helps you understand the key facets of modern service delivery, explains how situational awareness can help increase business value and reduce waste, and introduces a self-assessment to ensure that your situational awareness methods are tuned to the needs of modern service delivery.
