== What is IT Service Management  ==


IT service management is the implementation and management of quality IT services performed by IT service providers through people, process and information technology. Service management that can cope with federated environments, such as EGI, often lacks the hierarchy and formal agreements seen in other situations.

EGI.eu is a client partner within the FedSM project, where the focus is on tailoring ITIL best practices within a federated environment such as EGI. The ITIL framework has already been mentioned in a variety of EGI documents and referenced as a strategic area for improving service management across EGI. ITIL is the most widely accepted approach to IT service management and the de facto standard for operating computer centres in the industrial sector providing a cohesive set of best practices, drawn from the public and private sectors internationally.
 
== Objective of ITSM  ==
 
The objective of ITSM for EGI is to:
 
*Implement structured processes for the improvement of service delivery to its customers based on the [http://www.fedsm.eu/fitsm FitSM-1:2013 standard].
 
== Scope Statement  ==
 
In the first phase of ITSM implementation, EGI is focusing on 7 of the 14 total [[EGI ITSM#Service_Management_Processes|processes]] outlined by the [http://www.fedsm.eu/fitsm FitSM-1:2013 standard], which will then be expanded to the others. The rationale for those selected is based on the processes that others depend and to balance the effort required to implement ITSM processes overall. The processes are planned to be applied to all services defined in the [http://www.egi.eu/services/catalogue EGI.eu Service Catalogue]&nbsp;starting first with Federated Operations. <br>General requirements for EGI's service management system can be found [[EGI SMS General Requirements|here]]. <br>
 
<br>
 
= EGI.eu Service Management Policy  =
 
<br> 1.) '''Process Approach.''' To effectively manage all IT services and underlying components, a process-based approach to service management shall be adopted.
 
*All required processes are defined, communicated and improved based on business needs and feedback from people and parties involved.
*Roles and responsibilities are clearly defined.
 
2.) '''Customer and User Alignment.''' The provision of IT services shall be aligned to customer and user needs.
 
*IT Services are delivered in a defined quality sufficient to satisfy requirements identified from business processes.
*For all IT services, a corporate level SLA and/or specific SLAs, which have been agreed with stakeholders, is in place.
 
3.) '''Continual Improvement. ''' IT Services and service management processes shall be continually improved.
 
*Feedback from stakeholders is used to continually improve IT services and service quality. All proposals for improvements are recorded and evaluated.
*IT Service management is improved based on continual monitoring of process performance and effectiveness.
 
4.) '''Training &amp; Awareness. '''Through trainings and awareness measures, it shall be ensured that staff involved in service management activities can effectively perform according to their roles.
 
5.) '''Leadership. '''Senior management is committed to this policy and its implementation. It provides the resources required to implement and improve service management and enhance customer and user satisfaction with IT services.
