  9. The Situation • Each Business Unit owning and maintaining its own hardware and infrastructure • Physical Capacity near limit at current datacentres • HW life expectancy has met full potential, many key components over three years old • Risk of Service Compromise • Many BUs unable to meet current demands or future growth

  17. Service Definition & Alignment • Each IT service was defined as a Functional Area and broken into Components (e.g. SQL server, application server; web server). • Service Classes (Gold, Silver, and Bronze) were then defined and prioritised by availability, performance, scalability, and data protection, and aligned with each Component. • This revealed some significant service gaps and enabled us to create a full Service Catalogue in business terminology

  18. Challenges • Complex stakeholder environment • Differing priorities • Some unsupportive • Pressure to Execute • Under-purchased hardware • Complex vendor relationships • Business Change - Acquisition • No existing project culture or approach
