The Service Level Management and SLA Toolkit

Service Level Management, when performed suc-cessfully, can ensure that disputes are resolved and expectations are fulfilled and generally work to improve the relationship between the IT organi-zation and the customers it supports. This estab-lished toolkit supports your Service Level Man-agement goals by providing step-by-step guides, templates, and best practice examples that will enable you to meet this challenge head on.

By creating an IT Service Management (ITSM) strategy, enterprises are able to maximize end-user productivity, improve operational effective-ness, and enhance overall business performance. If managed effectively, communications and the overall relationship between the IT organization and the business units improves, and expectations are both set and met at the correct level.

BUT designing, implementing, and maintaining a Service Level Management process can seem an overwhelming task—where do you begin? What are the benefits and goals?How do you ensure the objectives are in tune with the organizations overall mission and objectives? How can you get your managers on board with this new opportunity? How would you manage the different require-ments and expectations of your customers? How do you create an SLA, OLA, and UC? What processes and staff should be involved? Which documents do you need? What ITSM tools are required? And how do you choose them? How do you begin to ascertain what is already in place and what needs improving within the cur-rent infrastructure?

This reputable Service Level Management and SLA Toolkit promises to provide you with ALL the an-swers. It proves to act as a guiding hand to assist you in building your knowledge and understanding of Service Level Management.

Enterprise Architecture Toolkit

Need help justifying your investment?

It took us 40 man-hours to produce the Enter-prise Architecture Toolkit: analyzing, processing, selecting and building the 'flow' from the count-

less documents and data we have produced over months (at least $50/hour that comes to $2000 of time).

In total, the end result—the Enterprise Architec-ture Toolkit—reflects close to a full time employ-ee’s week work.

At the Art of Service, we know how important your time is for you and we also understand that nobody can substitute you in certain scenarios. This is why we give you the results without you having to do all the legwork; we do the research-ing and the analysis and the collating of informa-tion we find.

All you have to do is take the outcome of all that work and use it as part of your project—to make it unique to your job, project, or task at hand in a way that only you can do.

IT Governance Metrics, Measurements and Benchmarking Kit

Seventy percent of all IT projects fail; don’t let this happen to YOU!

“5 out of 5 stars, Important Management Title With A Groundbreaking Framework” - Rhett Kerr

In this Toolkit, IT Service Management experts at The Art of Service argue that the real reason IT fails to deliver value is that companies have no formal system in place for guiding and monitoring IT decisions.

This IT savvy toolkit delivers a set of tools to deal with a challenging leadership issue. It is rare that you find a detailed, pragmatic guide to something that is subject to such misunderstanding and de-bate.

Governance, in general, and IT governance, in particular, is often left to the realm of politics, personality, and perception. This toolkit takes a look at how to make IT governance matter and function properly. The tools allow you to show governance on a page and align governance deci-sions with business strategy and metrics—all good things.

Why should you care about IT governance? Well, because good IT governance is related to good business performance. Also, as information and technology handle more business, making deci-sions about these assets becomes critical.

The IT Governance Metrics, Measurements, and Benchmarking Toolkit contains presentations, as-sessments, and essential resources.

The assessments and calculator will help you iden-tify the areas within your organization that require the most activity in terms of change and improve-ment.

Presentations are a great education tool and detail all the ‘what you need to knows’; they can also be used as the basis for management presentations or when making business cases for IT Governance Metrics, Measurements, and Benchmarking imple-mentation.
