CIOs today face the challenging task of meeting their organization's growing business requirements with the same or limited resources. Faced with rapidly changing IT workloads and limited budgets, IT heads in the Asia/Pacific region are looking to align their IT refresh strategies with the right management tools and best practices as a way to overcome this enterprise IT challenge. In this forum, we will discuss continual service improvement concepts in ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library) Version 3 in relation to how best practices can be aligned with emerging system management tools to create the high impact transformational changes to IT service quaility. We will also discuss Hitachi JP1 Version 9 and its new features such as accurate IT service and resource usage discovery, service quality enhancement and operational workload efficiency improvement.
