In this third installment of our exploration of ITIL V4, we turn our focus to the Technical Management Practices. These practices are crucial for the actual deployment and management of the IT infrastructure that supports your services. Let’s examine how we implement these practices and the value they provide to our clients.

Deployment Management

  • Our Approach: We meticulously manage the movement of new or changed hardware, software, documentation, processes, and any other component to live environments. This includes planning, scheduling, controlling, and testing deployments.
  • Bringing Value to Customers: Efficient deployment management means that new updates or changes are integrated seamlessly into your business operations without causing disruptions.
    • Example: When deploying a new CRM system, we ensure minimal downtime and provide training to ensure that your team can leverage the new system from day one, enhancing productivity and customer engagement.

Infrastructure and Platform Management

  • Bringing Value to Customers: By managing your infrastructure and platforms effectively, we guarantee a robust foundation for your IT operations, enabling scalability and resilience.
    • Example: When we manage a client’s cloud infrastructure, we continuously optimize resources to handle varying loads, ensuring cost-efficiency and consistent performance.

Software Development and Management

  • Our Approach: We oversee the entire lifecycle of software applications, from development to retirement. This includes ensuring that software meets business requirements and is maintained effectively.
  • Bringing Value to Customers: Our focus on software development and management ensures that the applications you rely on are not only functional but also secure, user-friendly, and continuously evolving to meet your changing needs.
    • Example: For a custom software project, our approach involves regular updates based on user feedback, ensuring the software evolves to meet the ever-changing needs of the business.
