Erik Hille to Relay ITIL Implementation Best Practices Drawn from Company's Extensive ITIL-Based Service Level Management Experience
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - September 18, 2006 - Oblicore, a leading provider of Service Level Management software and best practices, today announced that Erik Hille, director of product marketing, will present "Best Practices in ITIL-based Service Level Management," at the IT Service Management Forum (itSMF) USA 2006 conference. Scheduled for Tuesday, September 19, at 7:30 a.m. PT, this comprehensive discussion will demonstrate successful Service Level Management processes that incorporate an Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) standards framework. Participants will learn how to develop a strong business case for ITIL adoption and demonstrate the resulting business value of such implementations through the generation and analysis of metrics supported by automated technology solutions.
As the global standard for IT service management, ITIL enables IT organizations to overcome the challenges of IT system growth by establishing best practice processes for achieving service quality and business goals. Hille will discuss critical elements necessary for ensuring a seamless migration to an ITIL-based Service Level Management approach including:
- The importance of a service catalog in standardizing service delivery, establishing service level benchmarks and defining rules for IT governance;
- The benefits of automated management and reporting of service level agreements (SLAs), operating level agreements (OLAs) and underpinning contracts; and
- Proactive solutions for resolving service failures before SLAs are breached.
Oblicore will be exhibiting at the event at booth 425. For additional conference information, visit http://www.jupiterevents.com/itsmf/fall06/index.html.
