We had typical challenges• IT Groups Worked In Silos
• Divergent terminology, processes and practices
• We had few SLA’s
• Measuring and reporting were inconsistent
• ITIL and ITSM were just four letter words

Key Points in the Yale Plan• Educate ourselves with ITIL Foundations and begin to use the language
across the organization
• Name process owners who work across the organization and harmonize processes such as Incident, Problem, Change, Request, Knowledge Management
• Recognize that we have to stabilize our environment, create a system of measurement and use key metrics to guide us where to improve
• Leverage a partner to guide us on this journey

CMDB Roadmap
IT Asset Management -Platforms/Devices• Component-centric physical
view of ITS assets
•Discovered assets and configurations•Allows for ad hoc analysis of assets•Limited focus on asset change control (auto-discovered updates)
•Excellent tool for system operators and support staff
Service Asset & Config Management -Solutions/Systems• Logical view of asset
collections
•Introduces ownership and auditing to ensure systems/solutions are accurate and properly controlled
•Changes tracked and tied to service requests or, more often, changes
•Ability to asset changes to solutions that depend on one or more systems = enhanced impact/risk analysis for customer-facing changes
Service Asset & Config Management -Services View• Logical, integrated view of
services
•Exposes hidden or complex service inter-dependencies
•Enhance organization’s ability to describe changes to change impacts in terms of business impacts
•Allows for business-centric view of IT operations, and the relationship to services delivered by the business
