IT4IT 3.0 – Creating a Digital Management Platform 23/02/2023 @ 18:00

The Recipe to Transform and Modernize your IT Operating Model

Description:

The Open Group has recently released version 3.0 of the IT4IT standard. The IT4IT standard is a real game changer to transform and modernize your IT operating model – enabling IT teams to deliver faster with better quality and reduced risk. 

Learn how the IT4IT standard can help you to shape and mature your IT management capabilities and to streamline and automate IT value streams.

Transforming into a digital organization requires a strong digital management platform, consisting of the right people, IT processes, IT management tools and data. But what is even more important: how to connect all these components together to create flow across your IT value streams. Instead of optimizing and improving the parts, focus on improving the IT management system as a whole. Today most organizations lack an integrated management platform, but rather have a siloed and fragmented process and tooling landscape, and as a result we lack end-to-end visibility and traceability (of value delivered, costs, risks, etc.). 

Key topics on the agenda:

  • What is the IT4IT standard from The Open Group? Why do I need this to create a modern digital management platform?
  • What value streams do you need in a modern digital operating model?
  • How can I use the IT4IT standard to transform and modernize my IT organization? 
  • How can I combine key practices such as ITIL 4, DevOps and Agile Development into an integrated Digital Operating Model? 
  • How to embed security, risk and compliance into your IT delivery model? 
  • How is IT4IT used by organizations (both in public as private sector)? Where to start my own IT4IT journey? 

So, are you looking for an approach that can help you to transform and mature your entire IT organization? Reduce risks and costs? Delivery faster? Boost IT performance?  Then, this webinar is for you !
