| introduction to the itil service lifecycle 2011: Service Systems Jorge Cardoso, Ricardo Lopes, Geert Poels, 2014-09-02 This SpringerBrief explores the internal workings of service systems. The authors propose a lightweight semantic model for an effective representation to capture the essence of service systems. Key topics include modeling frameworks, service descriptions and linked data, creating service instances, tool support, and applications in enterprises. Previous books on service system modeling and various streams of scientific developments used an external perspective to describe how systems can be integrated. This brief introduces the concept of white-box service system modeling as an approach to model the internal aspects and elements of service systems. This approach provides descriptions that can be used for service management, optimization, and analytics. Service Systems: Concepts, Modeling, and Programming is designed for researchers, teachers, and advanced-level students who want to learn about the new emerging field of service science and IS/IT practitioners who are looking for better ways to describe, model, and communicate services. |

The pursuit of perfection through continuous improvement Alexandra Arbter, 2022-11-11 Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1, University of Applied Sciences Burgenland (Department Information Technology and Information Management), language: English, abstract: An increasing competitive market in service businesses is driving multinational corporations (MNCs) to implement business improvement philosophies and methodologies in order to address customer requirements for better quality service and organizational demands for rising profit margins through cost reduction. The Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) has been implemented by various MNCs, in full or as per business requirements, in order to manage and control their processes more effectively. However, due to dynamic economic influences in recent year’s these companies require to step up in their ability to become more agile and continuously improve their processes in order to react in an agile way to shifting market demands. Although ITIL stands for a framework of best practices, it neglects a clear customer value proposition and provides only limited significance towards change. Lean, on the other hand, is a management methodology that has been suggested as a means to resolve these problems, by reducing costs, increase productivity and becoming more agile within daily business routines. Lean’s application within ITIL is becoming progressively popular among researchers, but despite the application of Lean approaches to different contexts within manufacturing industries, the specifics of Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) in the services industries remains largely untested. Focus of this study is worldwide the service delivery industry of MNCs, which present complex process driven industries. The aim is to determine in which relation or what kind of potential there is for a hybrid ITIL seven-step improvement process and Lean model, in order to accomplish a more agile continual service improvement approach. |

| introduction to the itil service lifecycle 2011: Digital Enterprises Henderik A. Proper, Bas van Gils, Kazem Haki, 2023-11-14 This book explores different aspects of and provides concrete suggestions to meet the three main challenges for becoming a “Digital Enterprise”: the transition to the digital age, the emergence of service ecosystems, and the growing role of data as a key underlying resource. As a result of these intertwined and mutually amplifying trends, today’s enterprises are confronted with several challenges that profoundly impact their design, from the definitions of products and services offered to their clients via the business processes that deliver these products and services to the underlying IT infrastructure. The contributions which are written by leading enterprise architecture researchers and managers of large corporations cover four key aspects which form each one part of the book: Part I presents experiences how different enterprises currently already need to embrace and exploit new challenges like blockchain, customer-centric services, or value co-creation networks. Part II looks atthe need for a new design logic, i.e. the need for new ways of thinking regarding the design of enterprises. Part III is concerned with the coordination needed among different stakeholders of the ensuing continuous transformations. Part IV eventually reflects on the ongoing consequences for enterprise modeling as used to capture both the current affairs of an enterprise, as well as design/study its possible future affairs. The target audience of this book are both master and PhD level students who want to gain insights into key aspects of the challenges confronting digital enterprises, as well as enterprise architects and information managers working in enterprises that are on their way to become digital. |

| introduction to the itil service lifecycle 2011: Ensuring the Integrity of Electronic Health Records Orlando López, 2020-12-21 Data integrity is a critical aspect to the design, implementation, and usage of any system which stores, processes, or retrieves data. The overall intent of any data integrity technique is the same: ensure data is recorded exactly as intended and, upon later retrieval, ensure the data is the same as it was when originally recorded. Any alternation to the data is then traced to the person who made the modification. The integrity of data in a patient’s electronic health record is critical to ensuring the safety of the patient. This book is relevant to production systems and quality control systems associated with the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and medical device products and updates the practical information to enable better understanding of the controls applicable to e-records. The book highlights the e-records suitability implementation and associated risk-assessed controls, and e-records handling. The book also provides updated regulatory standards from global regulatory organizations such as MHRA, Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (UK); FDA, Food and Drug Administration (US); National Medical Products Association (China); TGA, Therapeutic Goods Administration (Australia); SIMGP, Russia State Institute of Medicines and Good Practices; and the World Health Organization, to name a few. |

| introduction to the itil service lifecycle 2011: Business Process Maturity Amy Van Looy, 2014-01-27 Organisations face many challenges, which induce them to perform better, and thus to establish mature (or excellent) business processes. As they now face globalisation, higher competitiveness, demanding customers, growing IT possibilities, compliancy rules etc., business process maturity models (BPMMs) have been introduced to help organisations gradually assess and improve their business processes (e.g. CMMI or OMG-BPMM). In fact, there are now so many BPMMs to choose from that organisations risk selecting one that does not fit their needs or one of substandard quality. This book presents a study that distinguishes process management from process orientation so as to arrive at a common understanding. It also includes a classification study to identify the capability areas and maturity types of 69 existing BPMMs, in order to strengthen the basis of available BPMMs. Lastly it presents a selection study to identify criteria for choosing one BPMM from the broad selection, which produced a free online selection tool, BPMM Smart-Selector. |
