From management to support. BMC Atrium CMDB Configuration Management Database

I have already helped more than one company increase its income and reputation. What other technical support optimization systems exist and how to configure them?

Remedy service desk– a system that automates the processes of managing incidents and client requests. No matter how well a company works, from time to time clients appear who are dissatisfied with its services. And all this dissatisfaction falls on technical support, where, by the way, real people work. How to reduce the amount of stress among employees, and at the same time optimize the organizational process in their department? There is only one solution and quite simple - to implement remedy service desk or other similar product. However, the choice of a system that will take on such important tasks in the future must be approached very responsibly. Don't trust resources that offer free help desk systems , since all help desks from a high-quality, trustworthy manufacturer are paid. Some are more expensive, some are cheaper, but a certain amount is still required. A free help desk is most likely a trick of a scammer, or simply a low-quality product.

Remedy service desk demo version

The only thing more like the truth is not freehelp desksystems as such, but their free demo versions. A normal developer will definitely give you the opportunity to use a demo version of the system, but to extend it, you will have to make a certain contribution. But when you pay for your help desk, you can be sure that you are paying for safety, quality and convenience.

Remedy service desk and its tasks

Remedy service desk records and tracks not only incidents, but also the cause of their occurrence, known errors and requests for specific modifications. In addition, the program has a very user-friendly interface, does not freeze computers, and is designed specifically for multi-user mode. Contains its own knowledge base, easily adaptable to the characteristics of a particular organization. Knowledge base Remedy service desk is needed so that the support service operator does not have to waste time processing requests that are not actually relevant. Such a database helps in finding ready-made solutions and issuing them to the client.

Installation and implementation of the service

Remedy service desk and other similar systems also have their own instructions intended for those who have not used such services before. For example, if you have “Service Desk Plus” installed, type in the search engine service desk plussetting and you can easily find instructions for setting up applications yourself.

However, a competent service provider will always provide its clients with instructions and specialists who will carry out this setup. So look for instructions called " service desk plus setup" and people like her are completely unnecessary. The Eddy company will undertake the implementation of the service desk “from” to “to”, including the technical process of implementation and further configuration. Therefore, in terms of electronic dispatch, you can trust us completely and completely. Take your first step towards success by contacting us!

X5 Retail Group has completed a large-scale project of organizational changes. Based on the Management Directorate information technology a business support unit was created, responsible for the comprehensive operation of all systems and assets of the company. Reorgan experience

There are five phases through which any organization implementing a program of organizational change passes: stagnation, preparation, implementation, test of strength, achievement of goals. Let's look at the history of changes in X5 Retail Group N.V.

Stagnation

There was no stagnation as such; the IT management directorate was confidently moving towards achieving strategic goals of transferring the company to a new centralized trading activity management system based on SAP Retail. By September 2009 it was completed pilot project in one of the branches. It covered the work of not only stores and the branch office, but also distribution centers. At the same time, the creation of an appropriate IT infrastructure was underway. A project has been launched to transfer a unified user support system from the HP OpenView platform to the BMC Remedy platform. This was to be followed by the implementation of several more ITIL processes in the company. The BMC product was chosen as a comprehensive platform for them. But he intervened economic crisis. It became obvious that global leadership Russian market impossible without radical changes in company management aimed at increasing business efficiency. A transformation path was chosen that was based as much as possible on the methods of work of the Directorate for Information Technology Management (DIIT). It was at this stage that the decision was made to begin the preparation phase.

Preparation

The Trinity project was launched, the main goal of which is to form a business support unit based on DUIT, the branch management department and the real estate and operation departments in the branches. Deputy Chief Executive Officer for Business Support Teymur Sternlieb was appointed head of the unit. The project team included two project managers, business analysts, developers and experts. It also included candidates for the positions of first-level department heads in the organizational structure of the business support unit.

The keywords of the project were “integration” and “services”. Members of the project team came to the conclusion that combining departments providing service support into a single block would give a synergistic effect and improve the quality of the services provided, as well as increase the efficiency of support. The business support unit combines the operations, IT and branch management departments. It was understood that the transition to a service-oriented business support architecture would speed up the solution to many current problems, reduce the relative cost of the services provided, and, therefore, increase the efficiency of the company as a whole. Since the greatest difficulty was in the process of integrating disparate departments of IT support for business and operation of real estate, retail and engineering equipment, at this phase a list of functions and a list of specialists necessary to create a unified operation service were formed. The goal of the integration process was to create a “single window” mode for registering incidents, eliminating duplicative functions of employees of the joint operation service, using a unified approach to solving problems and a single tool for registering and processing user requests. To prepare the team for the changes and form a positive “public opinion” about the planned reforms, a survey was organized among the heads of the operations departments (IT and engineering) in all eight branches of the company. Judging by the responses received, department heads were actively involved in the discussion of the planned organizational changes.

Implementation

At this phase, the formation of staffing schedules for five new directorates began. The organizational structure of the business support block was finally fixed. The key and basis for the formation of the staffing structure was the principle of service orientation of the directorates.

It was supposed to organize the work of all service departments based on business processes recommended by the ITIL library, such as Problem Management, Service Level Management, Configuration Management, etc.

The directorates included in the business support block are responsible for the development and support of groups of certain services. This approach makes it possible to make the relations between business directorates and service directorates more transparent. If previously the IT director was responsible for IT support for business services and the development of IT infrastructure, now there are directorates responsible for the support and development of all business services, there are directorates responsible for supporting all infrastructure services, and there is a directorate responsible for support for “other” corporate services that are not directly related to the company’s core business processes. At the same time, all directorates of the business support block now work according to a single principle based on the use of Service Desk and tested in the previous IT management directorate.

The Business Services Directorate consists of departments responsible for providing IT services to various business divisions of the company: logistics and procurement, finance and reporting, operations and marketing, etc. Each department has consultants, developers, user training and support specialists services. The Infrastructure Services Directorate is responsible for the performance of server equipment and communication channels, provides support for enterprise software, and is responsible for the architecture of the entire IT infrastructure and the development of engineering equipment systems. Its strategic objectives are to build an adaptive infrastructure that meets the requirements of a growing business, use standard proven solutions, and implement proactive monitoring. One of the key projects of this directorate was the strategic project “Energy Saving Program”, within the framework of which X5 plans to significantly reduce energy consumption and energy supply costs. Operations Services, with the updated ServiceDesk, meets the needs of multiple end users beyond just IT business support. The Branch Management Directorate has significantly expanded its functions for quality assurance, implementation of business processes in branches and interaction with local authorities. Its strategic goal is to bring all branches of the company to a single standard, covering business processes and the branch management system, facility equipment, quality management and certification systems. The Directorate of Corporate Services, in addition to a large number of internal services necessary for the normal functioning of the business support block directorates, provides a number of services directly to businesses and is responsible for the support and development of organizational and management services. Of these, the most significant are: IT support for new openings of retail properties and mergers and acquisitions processes, organization of company business processes (description, development, implementation), project and program management.

In parallel with the formation of new staffing tables, work was carried out to create an album of functions up to the third level of divisions of the business support block and the division of areas of responsibility of the new directorates was underway. As soon as the functions of the divisions were fixed, and first of all, the joint operation service, an order was issued to transfer functions to the area of ​​​​responsibility of the business support unit and transfer employees to the joint operation department in one of the company's branches. An analysis of how the transfer of functions was carried out within one month revealed planning deficiencies and difficulties associated with the introduction of new staffing tables. Additional complexity was created by the matrix management organization in the branches. The reorganization in the seven remaining branches proceeded, as a rule, more smoothly and with fewer failures. Now, although the employees of the operation departments in the branches still report to both the director of the branch and the managers of the operation service from central office, they, together with the branch director, are in a single structure - the business support block, which significantly reduces the likelihood of contradictions inherent in the matrix management structure. Maxim Efanenkov was appointed head of the joint operation service.

First of all, in the pilot region, operations staff involved in supporting retail facilities and technological infrastructure were connected to the modernized ServiceDesk system. Now in unified system User requests for troubleshooting problems in office computers, refrigeration units in stores, etc. are registered. The work of service departments is organized according to a single principle, which makes it possible to obtain objective information about the quality of services provided to the company. Based on the methods developed and implemented in the IT management directorate, engineering service employees received their own performance indicators (KPIs), on the basis of which they are rewarded. All this became possible after the implementation of the Incident Management process. Currently, the implementation of two more ITIL processes is nearing completion - Service Level Management and Configuration Management. ITIL processes were the methodological basis for building business support processes.

The longest activity of the Trinity project was the development of a strategy for the business support block, containing the goals of the block for a three-year period and the activities necessary to achieve the goals. Much attention was paid to building a tree of block goals down to the level of each directorate.

The regulations on directorates set out indicators for achieving goals (Key Goal Indicators, KGI). The COBIT approach was used, which defines KGI as a key indicator of goal achievement. In this case, these are metrics that show management whether business goals have been achieved and to what extent. It turns out that if you replace the IT letters with the BS (Business Support) letters, many of the COBIT approaches turn out to be quite applicable. The same applies to the ITIL library. The strategy contains a description of the block management model, including the principles and levels of decision-making. As a main tool effective management branches are considering decentralization. The project provides for the creation of a new operational reporting system covering the indicators of all newly formed directorates.

Test of strength

It is safe to say that the Trinity project team and the created division are already firmly on their feet. Of course, not everything went smoothly. However, the preliminary study of possible risks bore fruit and many troubles were avoided. It is clear that it is impossible to review, change, coordinate and approve dozens of regulatory and administrative documents at once. Therefore, it was decided to temporarily keep the existing orders in force. The issue with the budget was resolved in approximately the same way: correct budgeting of functions new to departments is impossible without deep knowledge of the budget structure. Since the employees who were previously involved in drawing up the budget for the operation of buildings did not transfer to the newly created directorates, there was a real risk of receiving an inadequate financing plan. To avoid negative developments, temporary agreements were reached to support the budgeting process during the transition period. At the same time, difficulties arose due to the lack of experience of such transformations in Russia. It was difficult to find references to some integration solutions based on IT departments in terms of creating a unified operation service. However, in these cases there were no precedents for such a large-scale coverage of all aspects of business support. For example, if previously, when a refrigerator in a sales area broke down, store employees called either a specific engineer involved in store support, or the company responsible for the performance of the equipment in a given store, or the head of the operation service at the branch office, now for all incidents with any equipment they call a single Service Desk phone. Changing the way users interact with service providers has proven challenging. To more clearly demonstrate the depth and breadth of the area of ​​responsibility of the business support unit in X5, we can give some quantitative characteristics of the unified system of unified user support. The number of employees registering incidents in ServiceDesk exceeded 9,000 people. There are more than 1,000 specialists assigned to these incidents and service requests (and these are not only company employees, but also employees of contractors connected to ServiceDesk). These specialists are divided into 144 support groups. More than 2,500 applications and service requests are registered in ServiceDesk per day. The last thing to be connected to ServiceDesk was a product quality control system, which significantly increased the transparency of the corresponding service, but significantly increased the load on ServiceDesk. Today, the business support unit employs almost 1,500 specialists.

Achievements of goals

It is too early to talk about achieving the final goals - the project of organizing a business support unit is not completed, only the first stage has been completed. However, the unconditional correctness of the chosen path is illustrated by the words of an ordinary director of one of the Perekrestok stores: “Over the past four months, I have had the feeling that someone cares about the store. Problems began to be resolved, and quite quickly.” There are still many difficult problems to be solved. Among them: increasing the capacity of the BMC Remedy system to connect hundreds of stores and dozens of distribution centers that open annually and introducing several ITIL processes (Problem Management, Change Management, Event Management, Asset Management), developing a business continuity plan, creating and signing numerous SLAs, modernizing existing ones and implementation of new business processes. But there is no doubt that the business support unit will be able to improve the quality of services provided and the efficiency of the company.
