HPE ITSM Improvement Services

HPE Lifecycle Event Services

HPE ITSM Improvement Services are based on Hewlett Packard Enterprise's experience providing ITSM (IT Service Management) services across enterprise-class IT environments. The services help you improve and enhance your organization's ITSM maturity level with an ultimate goal of improving both effectiveness and your organization's ability to meet ever-increasing demands for your IT organization to enhance service levels and performance.


You can choose either the HPE Fundamental ITSM Improvement Service or the HPE Expanded ITSM Improvement Service.


The HPE Fundamental ITSM Improvement Service helps CIOs improve their organization's service quality by continuously increasing the organization's IT Service Management maturity in the areas of service support, service delivery, and technology management. The service is initiated with an ITSM assessment to identify potential risks in the areas of service support, service delivery, and technology management. The assessment is used to create a Service Improvement Plan, which is used to help address and mitigate the risks identified during the ITSM assessment. Also, during the term of the service, HPE provides ongoing advice and assistance to help you meet objectives outlined in the Service Improvement Plan.


The HPE Expanded ITSM Improvement Service helps CIOs meet service-level commitments to business groups by increasing maturity in all aspects of ITSM—including service support, service delivery, and technology management—as well as IT governance. The service begins when a business-critical consultant performs a detailed ITSM assessment covering both IT management and governance. During the assessment, HPE compares your IT processes, systems, workflow, organization, and relationship to the business functions to industry best-practices standards for the same parameters. The assessment identifies changes that can facilitate improving your organization's processes and overall effectiveness and help reduce risks.


Based on the assessment results, HPE and you will develop a mutually agreed-upon Service Improvement Plan to facilitate addressing the identified risks and improving IT service levels that can potentially improve your organization's delivery and support costs. The plan is a guide to review progress against the improvement goals and to provide focus on areas where HPE advice and assistance could facilitate improvements or help reduce risks.
