IT organisations struggle to successfully demonstrate the value of what they deliver to their businesses and service consumers – in ways that are clear and easy to appreciate.
Tools can be used to create all manner of reports, although these need to be set to focus on business results, not just technology-focused outputs. Reporting is often IT and internally focussed than business and outcome focussed. Many ITSM/ESM implementations fail or do not get the level of appreciation that they merit. This failure can lead to disconnect on trust, which impacts future funding and support across organisations.
What is Service Value Management?
SVM is a fast and simple way to build a fresh approach to reporting, performance monitoring and value demonstration. SVM is an industry-first value-added service from CDW, setting a new standard in value demonstration. SVM builds compound, weighted metrics bundles that show the real world experience and outcomes that are derived from service delivery – not just traditional surface level ‘SLAs’. This includes:
- Employee feedback and experience
- User feedback and experience
- Business outcomes mapping
- Operational performance
- Critical metric mapping
- Trended analysis
