IT Service Delivery Optimization Adventure
A typical PSA tool is optimized for IT Service Delivery when...
SLAs are above 95%
Resource Utilization is above 85%
RHEM is below 30 hours or 2 Man-months per 1000 endpoints.
Total Time to Completion is below 12 Business hours
Are you sure your PSA tool is being optimized? If not, you may want to keep reading so that you too can bask in the results listed above. Over the past year, we have written articles on how to improve IT Service Delivery. In case you missed them, here are the topics of the previous series we have written...
We will now turn our attention away from the fundamentals of IT Service Delivery to look at “how to optimize” topics such as:
Configuring an 80% Automated Customer Communication workflow
How to segment requests into four workflows
How to managethe four workflows
Incidents
Service Requests
Projects
Recurring visits
The value and how to use Issue / Sub-Issue reporting
Network Administration (Technology Advisor) management
While the fundamentals are important, they tend to focus on the how and why of PSA configurations. IT Service Delivery Optimization combines individual PSA topics into powerful systems and workflows. For example, the Customer Communication workflow leverages Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Workflow Rules (WFRs) and Workflow Notifications, Tech engagement SOPs, and an automated closed ticket process that improves Tech Utilization by as much as 17%.Each of the optimization topics will start with an overview of the system and/or workflow, the purpose or business problem we are trying to solve. We then will review how to configure the PSA tool in an implementation sequence, and how to roll it out to the Support Team. Follow up with a summary and specific metric goals to know the process is working.
