For the third year in a row, Forrester Research, in conjunction with itSMF USA, conducted a survey to understand the current state of IT service management (ITSM) and its future direction. In 2013, have ITSM professionals gained more visibility into their environments? Is ITIL still having a positive impact on operational productivity and costs, service quality, and IT's reputation with the business? Has software-as-a-service (SaaS) overtaken perpetual license as the most popular purchasing model? How are trends like cloud and as-a-service technologies affecting process maturity? Are people implementing a service catalog? What does the vendor landscape look like? All of these questions and more are answered in this webinar.
Infrastructure & Operations Professionals — don't miss this opportunity to see how you stack up against your peers with regards to IT service management and automation practices, priorities, and strategies.
Agenda:
- Demographics
- IT Operations
- Tools
- Vendors
- Questions
Key takeaways:
- Understand how you stack up against your peers, hopefully triggering a realization that change is necessary to keep up or validation you're on the right path.
- ITSM professionals still struggle with visibility into their environments (the ingredients their services run and rely on). You can't manage, and you certainly can't improve, what you can't see — this was a major point of last year's study, and it should be for this year as well.
Vendors mentioned: ASG, Axios, BMC Technologies, CA Technologies, Cherwell Software, Cisco, Citrix, Compuware, Dell, Easy Vista, EMC, Fujitsu, HP, IBM, Microsoft, NetIQ, Oracle, Symantec, ServiceNow, and VMWare.
