Objective of this presentation: To provide an overview of key customer issues and how SDE on Force.com can address those To sell SDE on Force.com
Slide objective: Confirm your account discovery work. Identify areas of pain/value and get the customer to share which areas are of most importance to them Key ideas: -- IT costs continue to be challenging: Ask the customer what their strategy is to deal with flat or declining budgets, especially for services that are already committed to production. -- At the same time, you need to deliver the most value to the business as you can. How do you know that you are working on the most critical initiatives and that activities within IT are prioritized based on business needs? -- Quality of service remains critical. Ask the customer how they ensure quality requirements for critical business services are being met. -- Managing risk is extremely important, especially when you are asked to make long term commitments/investments. Ask the customer to describe some of their current risks. Note: Faster Time to Value -- Increase Business Impact: Ask how they ensure IT investments and operational decisions are aligned with business priorities . -- Transparency has become more important, both inside and outside the IT organization. Internally, how do you know what you're putting people and money on? What's going on inside the IT organization? Externally, how you make sure you are demonstrating that IT investments are paying off for your stakeholders? The real challenge in IT is not just addressing one of these expectations but the need to address them all at the same time. Sample presentation: Based on hundreds of conversations we have had with our customers, advisory councils, and industry experts, we've seen consistent patterns of problems emerging. First, IT organizations are consistently seeking ways to become more lean. Some of these concepts have been leveraged from manufacturing industries, but are basically focused on how to take costs out of managing services in production (keeping the lights on), and reallocating those costs to their proactive development projects or as contribution towards cost reduction efforts in IT. At the same time, quality of service has remained critical. The cost of downtime has generally increased over recent years, as increased interconnectivity of systems has created more dependencies on the most critical systems and applications in your organization. Being able to manage to a set of expectations is critical. Third, managing risk has become more critical. This is taken several forms, such as business continuity. Can IT with stand a significant business disruption? Also, risk has come in the form of the ability to meet internal policy requirements as well as compliance requirements established within specific industries, or even spanning industries, such as Sarbanes-Oxley. Increasing business impact or value is the goal of any IT organization. The ability to deliver on new business projects is, therefore, crtitical The question is, how can you allocate the right resources to these projects, and as those projects are ready to be moved into production, how can you quickly and safely moved new services into production so that it can begin returning value to the organization? Finally, transparency requirements are taking on increased importance. IT is under increased scrutiny to demonstrate what it is spending its time and money on. How do you "show back“ the investments made in IT and what IT is delivering to the business with those investments? Making this whole challenge difficult is that these issues cannot be handled one by one. Most organizations have to address all five of these issues simultaneously. As much as people like to rank order these issues, if you don't meet basic thresholds in each of these areas, bad things can happen. Optimizing the mix of how these challenges are addressed can differentiate an IT organization and its leadership
Slide objective: Discuss ITIL / ITSM and highlight the key project areas where BMC/ITIL can help Key points: -- Adopting BMC SDE-F takes ITIL best practices from “theory” and makes them a reality -- Nearly every IT function or process in SDE-F supports ITIL best practices -- However, there are several key ITIL project areas that we typically see customers focus on: incident management,, configuration(inventory) management, -- Customers like (insert SDE customer ref?) have been able to consolidate from X service desks to X and (insert customer ref) has been able to reduce outages by X% with a X-month payback period. -- BMC solutions are validated for ITIL best practice compatibilty/OGC?
