IT Service Management

Core modules

This section illustrates the core modules of itmSUITE®.

SM - Service Desk and Service Management

This is one of the core modules of itmSUITE® and as such can be activated autonomously. It includes a powerful workflow motor which can be freely configured to support the execution of the IT Service Management processes. SME also has the appropriate functions needed to operate a modern Service Desk, based on service management best practice and standards such as ITIL and ISO/IEC 20000.

For this module, various pre-configured processes that speed up and simplify process activation in line with the best practice and standards are available. These include:

  • Demand Management
  • Incident Management
  • Change Management
  • Problem Management
  • Request Fulfilment
  • Release & Deployment Management
  • Access Management
  • Ecc.

The workflow motor can be configured in an unlimited number of ways and as such this module is able to support other processes, for example sales and purchasing, that are outside the restricted field of IT. This module is perfectly integrated with the PM (Project and Portfolio Management) module and numerous other complementary modules.

Together they form a comprehensive and powerful automation tool for IT management (services and projects), key elements for the IT system of a service provider.

  • CMS - Configuration Management System
  • FM - Financial Management
  • OCE - Service Level Management
  • ASM - Asset and Service Management
  • REP - Reporting Management
  • EEM - External Event Management

PM - Project and Portfolio Management

This is one of the core modules of itmSUITE® and as such can be activated autonomously. It supports the execution and maturation of management and project processes (Project Management) and project portfolios (Portfolio Management) in line with recognised best practice (eg. PMBoK® or PRINCE2®).

This module is perfectly integrated with the SM (Service Desk and Service Management) module and numerous other complementary modules.

Together they form a comprehensive and powerful automation tool for IT management (services and projects), key elements for the IT system of a service provider.

  • REP - Reporting Management
  • EEM - External Event Management

CSM - Configuration Management System

This is one of the core modules of itmSUITE® and as such can be activated autonomously. It supports the creation and maintenance of a modern Configuration Management System, in line with recognised IT Management best practice and standards , in particular ITIL® e ISO/IEC 20000. In particular, it makes it possible to manage both the hardware and software configuration elements and the relationships between them, both graphically and intuitively. This module is perfectly integrated with the SM (Service Desk and Service Management) module and DE (Discovery Engine) core modules as well as other complementary modules. This means you can really get the most out of your investment in the configuration system by making it available to other IT service management processes, which will reap the benefits of Configuration Management.

The main functions of the CMS module are:

  • Flexible configuration of entity models, and the relationships and attributes of the configuration elements.
  • Graphic production of IT Service mapping
  • Navigation and advanced information searches
  • Impact analysis
  • Monitoring support of end-to-end status
  • Reconciliation of information from external systems (via the RE module- Reconciliation Engine)
Related Modules
  • SM - Service Desk and Service Management
  • DE – Discovery Engine
  • RE - Reconciliation Engine
  • SP - Sharepoint Publisher
  • REP - Reporting Management
  • EEM - External Event Management

DE - Discovery Engine

This core module works through agents that can be distributed on the different systems of Unix, Linux or Windows and which make it possible to explore the features of hardware, basic software and application software ( including custom) thanks to the creation of a 'finger print'.

Based on the OCS NG open source product the solution has been enhanced with the ability to explore relationships between software and software. The module has a graphic interface so that the information gathered can be consulted and used autonomously.

Thanks to the related RE- Reconciliation Engine module it is possible to use the system to supply the itmSUITE® CMS module; in other words to automatically supply the Configuration System with the aim of populating or checking and controlling the information on it.

Complementary modules

This section illustrates the complementary modules of itmSUITE®.

FM - Financial Management

This complementary module is compatible with the core modules SM (SM – Service Desk and Service Management) and PM (Project and Portfolio Management). It makes it possible to manage budgets, final balance sheets and forecasts for human resources, expenses and ad hoc general expenses (for example costs relating to the purchase of hardware, software, equipment etc).

At a high level, the main functions that this module offers are as follows:

  • management of timesheets and expenses;
  • management of purchase contracts;
  • management of sales contracts;
  • management of project budget, final balance sheets and forecasts ( in conjunction with the PM module);
  • management of project budget, final balance sheets and forecasts ( in conjunction with the SM module);
  • management of budget, final balance sheets and forecasts for individual processes (eg. change, problem, requests etc) ( in conjunction with the SM module);
  • Pro-forma invoicing for projects and / or services ( in conjunction with PM or SM modules).

The module offers a basic reportinf function that with the REP (Reporting Management) module becomes unlimited.
