IT Services Management – An Oracle Perspective |
| |
 |
Philip Oldfield
Director, Enterprise Architecture, Oracle Corporation |
| |
Regardless of economic times, CIOs are always being challenged to balance multiple objectives: maximise return, mitigate risk, improve performance and increase agility -- all in the midst of today’s unparalleled and often unpredictable change. In view of the eventual upswing and need to maintain a competitive edge, it is even more critical that organisations align business and IT by giving management the insight required to measure, assess and control operations. And in so doing, companies can reduce cost, increase staff efficiency, improve service delivery and address compliance requirements.
As business processes and IT systems become increasingly intertwined, the risk rises of bringing operations to a crashing halt because of IT problems. But with efficient adoption of an IT Services Management (ITSM) solution and framework, IT can deliver automated tools and best practices to help design, implement and continually improve the processes that control and manage changes within the IT environment.
Oracle will share about the growing ITSM trend and provide a complete view of the end to end full lifecycle of systems ownership, project implementation and service delivery and how management is complemented by Oracle's unique position in providing the full set of software covering applications, middleware, database, business intelligence and the tools to manage it, tackling Risk, Operations and Improvement. |
