Providing Service Solutions and IT Service Management Functions ! Overview of the Management and Operations Plan Process ! Documenting Plans and Changes Before designing an Exchange 2000 management and operations plan, you must understand two important concepts: service solutions and IT service management. Service solutions are the capabilities or business solutions that IT provides to a company, while IT service management is the process by which these solutions are implemented. IT service management is cyclical in nature and includes four distinct plans that run concurrently and that culminate in the design of a management and operations plan. Once you have a high-level understanding of the operation and management process, it is important to understand how to create and maintain system documentation. Topic Objective To introduce the concept of service solutions and IT service management, and to provide an overview of the management and operations plan process. Lead-in Because a management and operations plan is made up of four distinct plans, it is important to gain a high- level overview of the entire process. Module 8: Designing an Exchange 2000 Management and Operations Plan 3 Providing Service Solutions and IT Service Management Functions SQL SQL Exchange 2000 Messaging Solution Data Storage Solution Service Solutions Service Solutions Service Solutions Well-defined service management functions provide consistent policies, procedures, standards, and best practices that can be applied to any IT service solution. Service Solutions Service solutions enable you to design IT services that meet your company’s business goals. Some examples of service solutions include messaging solutions and data storage solutions. Messaging Solutions As a messaging solution, Exchange 2000 extends basic messaging functionality to provide enhanced client application and server functionality, such as: !" Interconnectivity with other messaging systems. !" Enhanced security. !" Multiple stores for both mailboxes and public folders. !" Recipient and storage policies. !" Access through various client applications, including: • A Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) client, such as Microsoft Outlook ® . • A Web browser. • A Microsoft Office application, such as Microsoft Word. Topic Objective To provide some examples of service solutions and IT service management functions. Lead-in Before designing an Exchange 2000 management and operations plan, you must be aware of the service solutions that you can provide by using Exchange 2000. Delivery Tip Mention to students that other applications—and not only those that provide basic messaging functionality— may require a management and operations plan. 4 Module 8: Designing an Exchange 2000 Management and Operations Plan Data Storage Solutions As a data storage solution, Microsoft SQL Server ™ 2000 combines database functionality with data analysis to enable you to create business solutions, such as: !" A technical support call-logging database that, in combination with data analysis, tracks problems and resolutions, and also provides insight into the enterprise’s overall technology structure and its possible vulnerabilities. !" Data mining that assists in uncovering hidden patterns and predicting future trends. !" E-commerce solutions that can be used in conjunction with Microsoft Commerce Server to provide Internet-based functionality, such as the ability to store, query, and maintain the security of Web data. IT Service Management IT service management functions facilitate such processes as adding, removing, or upgrading an IT service or its components. Examples of IT service management functions include: !" Technical support functionality !" Problem management !" Contingency planning !" Configuration management !" Change management !" System administration Module 8: Designing an Exchange 2000 Management and Operations Plan 5 Overview of the Management and Operations Plan Process O P T I M I Z I N G C H A N G I N G O P E R A T I N G S U P P O R T I N G IT IT Service Service Mgt. Mgt. Each of the remaining four sections of this module explores one of the four plans that make up a management and operations plan: the change plan, the operations plan, the support plan, and the optimization plan. Designing a Change Plan Because both users and day-to-day business operations are affected whenever a new service solution is deployed, designing a change plan to manage change is crucial to the project’s success. Although designing a change plan is the first step in creating an Exchange 2000 management and operations plan, it should be implemented throughout the entire life cycle of the project. An effective change plan must address the following service management functions: !" Change management !" Configuration management !" Release management Designing an Operations Plan An operations plan outlines the standards, processes, procedures, roles, and responsibilities that are necessary to maintain the required levels of service within a company. This plan includes the following functions: !" System administration !" Monitoring and measurement !" Security administration !" Network administration !" Maintenance Topic Objective To provide a high-level overview of the plans that make up a management and operations plan. Lead-in Creating a management and operations plan involves developing four plans: changing, operating, supporting, and optimizing. 6 Module 8: Designing an Exchange 2000 Management and Operations Plan Designing a Support Plan A support plan outlines the standards, processes, and procedures needed to track and resolve each problem as it arises. This plan includes the following functions: !" Problem management !" Disaster recovery !" Service Level Agreement (SLA) Implementation Designing an Optimization Plan An optimization plan outlines the methods for achieving better performance from the current system. This plan includes the following functions: !" Capacity planning !" Cost management !" Contingency planning [...]... following three service management functions are used to implement a change plan: !" Change management !" Configuration management !"
