IT Services & Automation

Standardized Service Delivery & Automation STANDARDIZATION SELF SERVICE AUTOMATION Standardize the services providedby IT to consumers. Define the services to be offered Define the request offerings that will be contained within a Service Offering Identify who needs to be involved (approvals, notifications, fulfillment) Give consumers of IT services the ability to identify, access and request services as needed. Controlled Empowerment Request offerings displayed based on user role Intuitive easy to navigate portal Automate the service processes and systems necessary to the fulfillment of consumer requests. Automate routing of requests for approval and notification. Automate provisioning of the service request
