One way of looking at information technology is in terms of what an IT shop delivers. Users look to IT as where they go to get provisioned with devices, applications and network capacity. Customers and constituents receive those products services online via public-facing Web applications. A broader view of service delivery can greatly expand the roster of services delivered by the IT shop that aren’t of the IT shop. For example, everything from vehicles and related services, human resources functions, even office space and supplies can be thought of as deliverables. By encapsulating and automating the processes necessary to delivery these disparate requirements, organizations can make delivery itself faster and more efficient. To look at where service delivery is headed, Federal News Radio put together a panel of IT experts in the federal government with lots of ideas on how to expand and improve service delivery. In Part One, panelists discuss the current state of service delivery, IT and otherwise, including how much is user self-service and how they deliver service to IT professionals. In Part Two they discuss data center optimization with eye towards more efficient service delivery and new non-IT services that IT can have a hand in delivering, for example, HR services. In Part Three panelists look ahead to logistics improvement, IT service automation including software-as-a-service, mobility and management services like project portfolio management as future service delivery options.
