Overview • The Military Health Systems Service Desk (MHSSD) is the entry point into the MHS IT customer support infrastructure. • Provides 24 x 7 x 365, toll-free, worldwide access to identify, log, analyze, escalate, track, and report problems for centrally-managed MHS systems. • Utilizes the BMC Remedy system to support and track over 330 products and applications. 80 applications supported at a Tier 2 level, with continual additions. • Consists of three management areas reflecting the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL v.3) lifecycle: Strategy, Design, Transition, Operation & Continual Service Improvement • ITIL V.3 Lifecycle • MHSSD Management Areas
Service Strategy, Design & Transition(SSD&T) This management area is responsible for ensuring that new services transition smoothly to live operations at the MHSSD, as well as facilitating the strategy and design behind internal projects to enhance service levels. At a high level, SSD&T activities include: • Service Management Architecture & Transition Management - Tracking and transitioning new services to the operational floor. COOP. • Project Management - Tracks all projects across the organization • Process Engineering - Leveraged HP resources aiding development of ITIL aligned processes • Information Assurance - Oversight of MHSSD IA program including DIACAP approval efforts • Dashboard System Engineering -Supporting “Metrics Driving Success” • Training - Educating staff and improving service
Service Strategy, Design & TransitionMHSSD Excellence Dashboard • Feb 2010: Initial proof of concept integration with MCiS Remedy system • Jul 2010: Excellence Dashboard moved to production • Aug 2010: Use expanded for PMO access • Sep 2010: Use expanded for MTF access • Jul 2011: MHSSD Event Correlation capability introduced • Mar 2012: Over 720 registered users • Web-based portal allows access to MHS Service Desk intake data on any MHS, DOD domain PC • Single reporting tool with access to multiple databases • Generation of standard reports and charts • Easy to understand/use; no training needed • Near real-time data = business actionable reporting https://timpodash.timpo.osd.mil
Service Operation This management area is where the “rubber hits the road”, consisting of the front-line customer support areas: • Application Support: 24x7x365 Tier 1 and Tier 2 level support for over 330 MHS hosted applications. • Common Infrastructure Support: A concept in-progress, blending Network and Blade System Engineering, Monitoring and Systems Administration into a single, integrated team. • Process Team Leads: ITIL process team leads identified to help manage the execution of processes within the Service Desk environment. They are the identified “owners” of the processes.
