Process Content Packs consist of ready-to-use static pre-defined data sets. Packs fill the gap between the OOTB product and a full customized services engagement. Built upon ITIL standards and real-world customer experiences, they are focused on business processes, such as Service Desk, Catalog, Hardware & Software Asset Management and Change. Any or all of these can be installed at no cost into a customer’s system. Below is a list of items that are included in each Process Content Pack. All of these items can be used as is, or can be configured to fit customer needs.

To enable the system and begin to use the content packs data and structure, the customer should gather the data mentioned below (be sure to be conscious of which packs are being installed in your system and the corresponding data needed). For a development system a small quantity of each data set is best and can be quickly entered into the system to begin using it. As the strategy for a production system is established the loading or integration for these data sets can be defined. Such as using an LDAP or Active Directory system for Users and People data is common. Note common data does not need to be gathered and entered for each pack, the data can be entered a single time and will be used across packs and processes, such as users, assets, people, locations.

Now that we know what data we need to gather, how to find the application in IBM Control Desk to create the data, lets learn a little or a lot about the data sets so the data is created to best represent your content. Note It is also possible to click on the Help menu in each application as you are in the product. **The links and customer materials provided here are broader than a single application and a single record. The links here will connect you to the IBM Control Desk customer collateral created by IBM System Matter experts. As well as to a broader view of how to move forward from a Development system to designing and enabling production.

It is hard to stop providing knowledge when one is on a roll, so here are some additional references we think you will find of value. Note it is possible to completely ignore this slide. Now let’s get started exploring your system and what it can do. Here are some questions and answers, which provide links to many great resources! Check out Project Start! This Excel workbook provides the building blocks to begin to understand and plan the project for how your organization would configure and use IBM Control Desk in your business.Project Start Project Configure Project Configure provides the next step in the project ; an in-depth set of information about base setup, configurations, data loading, integrations and the information is all based on the many processes supported in Control Desk. To collaborate with what Project Start and Configure materials provide, IBM also has created Job Aids in the Planning and Configuring Section to help answer common tactical questions that may arise when designing, configuring, and implementing IBM Control Desk.Job Aids in the Planning and Configuring Section Subject Matter Experts in IBM Control Desk have created Self-Facilitated Workshops / Designing your ITIL processes for Control desk implementation, based in MS PowerPoint which guide a workshop through some of the processes in the software.Self-Facilitated Workshops / Designing your ITIL processes for Control desk implementation
