Modernizing ITSM - Cloud Service Management and Operations (CSMO)
Abstract
With the evolving landscape towards DevOps and cloud, IT Service Management (ITSM) has to change as well to stay relevant.
Cloud Service Management and Operations (CSMO) refers to the entirety of activities – organized in persona, processes, and tools – that are performed by an organization to plan, design, deliver, operate and control IT and Cloud. While many organizations are (or already have) adopted DevOps practices, these often emphasize the Dev part over the Ops.
This session will cover reference architectures for CSMO, and solutions for Incident Management and Problem Management. In addition to the tools, the session will further present the impact of DevOps in general and Cloud in particular on operational processes and the organization.
