Increasing complexity fromphysical, virtual and cloud delivery options and

a multitude of management technologies

I’M FOCUSEDON:

• Order processing is critical • Order processing depends

upon IT• IT is costing revenue and

customer satisfaction• Why is it so hard to keep it

available?

I’M WORRIED ABOUT:

• I must keep order processing available

• What is impacting order processing?• How do I prioritize the most critical

events?• I must avoid down time • We have to diagnose faster, be

more responsive … But how?

Situation – Acme Manufacturing


• Analysis of these problems has highlighted the following challenges:

• One problem impacted the issuing of invoices and caused a knock on effect on business cash flow

• Earlier visibility of the impact would have enabled the business to make arrangements to mitigate the financial impact

• ACME are not aware of many customer affecting problems until the customer reports them

• Identification of the cause of the problem often takes hours• Requires numerous calls and meetings involving representatives from Order

Processing operations and IT operations

• IT Operations often reports no critical issues when users are reporting that performance is slow

• Some problems keep recurring on a regular basis• Lack of understanding as to why
