BSM is Moving Front and Center
by Lisa Erickson-Harris, Research Director, EMA
IT organizations are increasingly turning to Business Service Management (BSM) solutions in their quest to play a more critical business role. Technology silo-based management delivers concentrated expertise that is valuable, but not enough in a world where technology has moved into such a pivotal role. More than two decades ago, Service Level Management (SLM) came on the scene as a way to look differently at managing IT. SLM leverages this rich silo-based insight while moving upstream to look beyond a compartmentalized view of uptime and availability. BSM promises to again raise IT up another notch (or perhaps many notches) in a way that blends with top-of-mind business goals and measures.
