3. Training Delivery Options

Micro Focus Education wants your IT Service Management training delivered in the environment best suited to your needs.

3.1

Instructor Led Training (ILT) Micro Focus Education operates instructor-led training sessions in facilities around the globe. Each course is designed to provide students with hands-on experience and is labbased to keep learning practical. The class experience offers students the opportunity to personally interact with one of our certified instructors who has extensive experience and industry knowledge. We have a range of courses designed to accommodate both beginner and advanced students. To ensure that adequate attention is provided to each student attending an instructor-led class, Education maintains class sizes between six to twelve participants. Education also provides Instructor-Led on-site training and this is most convenient when your team members are located in the same region. As long as the host provides adequate on-site training facilities, Education will send one of our instructors to your chosen site to conduct the training. We then deliver standard or customized training that addresses your unique business needs. Please note that the maximum class size for on-site training is limited to 12 students to ensure that adequate individual attention is provided. The benefits of on-site training are identical to VILT training with the added benefit of receiving face-to-face training in your domain.

Chapter 3: Training Delivery Options

Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) classes are a good alternative to sending your staff to a public training course. This option reduces travel and expense costs in the event your staff are geographically dispersed. Furthermore, VILT saves valuable time by permitting the student to stay in the office during the training sessions. VILT are live, instructor-led sessions. Students connect to the virtual classroom using their own computer, telephone, or Internet connection. VILT instructors facilitate live sessions for participants around the globe.

3.3

5. IT Service Management Training Courses

Micro Focus Education offers a wide variety of IT Service Management (ITSM) training courses to enhance your knowledge of the various products within ITSM. Training is tailored to a level of expertise (such as basic to advanced) and to the type of job role, (such as end user, technical administrator, and developer). New technologies and trends such as cloud, mobility, social media, and the tremendous speed of growing information (Big Data) enable IT to become a true service delivery organization. But this also comes with a rapidly changing IT landscape and IT organizations need to embrace what we call the New Style of IT. There are no opportunities without challenges—as a result of these trends, businesses demand for increased agility, more innovation, and faster time to value, all in an environment with intense competition, and the mandate to operate with tight budgets. This New Style of IT requires an innovative service management approach. This is why Micro Focus has reinvented IT Service Management (ITSM) to connect IT, users, the business, and services in a new way.

Chapter 5: IT Service Management Training Courses

Benefits IT Service Management: Reduces costs The ITSM approach reduces costs in several ways. One of the most effective ways is automation, which is the key to increasing staff efficiency, improving outcomes, and managing costs. The concept of self-service is another key enabler, empowering end users to acquire the services they need quickly and easily and without costly IT staff effort. Furthermore, integrated enterprise collaboration capabilities help service desk agents engage in context-based conversations, and thereby improve resolution times. Mitigates risk and helps ensure compliance To protect the business from the risk of service disruptions, changes to accommodate new business and technology trends, and the consequences of failing to comply with regulations and audits, our approach improves visibility into service and infrastructure dependencies. Process controls are based on standard IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) processes for efficiency, consistency, predictability, and reliability.

5.0.2

The Joy of Incrementalism ITSM includes proven software for key service management functions, including service desk, change management, service catalog, and asset management. These are supported by an ITIL-compliant configuration management system (CMS) based on discovery software. By integrating with common IT operations products and leveraging best practices, automation, and self-service capabilities, the ITSM suite combines to create automated end-to-end solutions for change, configuration, and release management and for closedloop incident and problem management. Because you can start with a single out-of-the-box solution and expand it incrementally, we call the approach pragmatic ITSM. Metrics and KPIs: perform, measure, optimize The out-of-the-box integration of performance data across IT provides transparency to the business in terms of value and performance delivered. There are key ITSM performance metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) such as percentage of first-call resolution and percentage of changes resulted in outages to help IT set the right priorities and make informed decisions. Service desk Service desk software is at the heart of the ITSM solution. This scalable, robust core standardizes incident and problem management processes, helps provide the quality of service delivery and support, and enhanced agent and end-user support. It also gives IT and its customers a single communication hub and enables IT to work as a single organization governed by a consistent set of processes. Knowledge management software augments the service desk by leveraging knowledge across the organization and making answers available in real time to both end users and service desk staff. In addition, service-level management software makes it possible to define SLAs and track them from the business service level down to specific process, hardware, and software components. Simple dashboards, collaboration, and mobile access complement the service desk. Micro Focus Education | IT Service Management | Page 20 of 60

21 Change management Change management software automates change across IT and provides visibility and control into end-to-end change management. It increases change advisory board (CAB) effectiveness, automates impact analysis and collision detection, detects unplanned changes, and improves audit and compliance postures. Service request catalog Service catalog and request management software delivers a fast, easy-to-use process for end users and agents—from demand to fulfillment—reducing cost and increasing responsiveness. It helps define and maintain a standard set of user goods and services, and provides a self-service UI to reduce the service desk’s workload. Asset management Asset management software manages investments, assets, and resources for better decision making and for cost reduction. It lets IT managers know—from procurement through disposal—what they have, where their assets are located, how much they cost, and who is using them. It also improves software license compliance for virtual and physical environments. Configuration management system and discovery The configuration management system delivers accurate, up-to-date configuration data and service context across ITSM processes and provides dynamic access through actionable federation. It makes it possible to automate discovery of assets, infrastructure, and applications, and dynamically map infrastructure, applications, and maps these to services on a regular basis. Users can quickly visualize environments from multiple perspectives.
