Michael Scheib, President and CEO

Welcome to the Q1 edition of iET Solutions’ 2008 newsletter series.

2008 got off to a fast start with several events and industry tradeshows this quarter. Hopefully you had a chance to visit our booth at the Pink Elephant International IT Service Management Conference in Las Vegas in February or the HDI Annual Conference in Dallas earlier this month. If you attended HDI, you probably saw Jim Phillips, CIO of Arizona Federal Credit Union, who presented a case study of their iET ITSM implementation and the benefits they have realized so far.

For another great case study, see the 'Customer Spotlight' section below and read how Oxford University’s Business Services and Projects Department consolidated processes and increased efficiency with iET ITSM.

Stay tuned throughout the spring for information on upcoming events and web seminars!

Product Focus: Process Analyzer

Continual Process Improvement with iET Process Analyzer

It's a fact of life in IT, as well as any other business area, that you can only improve what you can measure. IT management needs the ability to accurately measure KPIs, diagnose performance problems and continuously monitor the performance of the IT organization. These capabilities are becoming progressively more important in today's business environment, where the IT function is increasingly being asked to demonstrate a measurable return-on-investment and continuously improve its performance.

iET Process Analyzer addresses these concerns by providing a sophisticated platform for automating the measurement of a wide range of IT business processes, such as incident management, change management, problem management and release management. It includes predefined dimensions, KPIs, and analysis favorites, all designed specifically for the task of monitoring the performance of ITIL processes.

    Customer Spotlight - Oxford University

    Oxford University’s Business Services and Projects Department consolidates processes and increases efficiency with iET ITSM.

    “iET ITSM is equipped with a configuration module and we were particularly impressed by the possibilities offered by the Graphical CMDB and the CMDB Discovery and Intelligence tools. iET Problem Management also seemed to fit logically with our understanding of ITIL. The icing on the cake was that iET Solutions was planning to launch an availability management module,” said Andrew Goff, Change Manager, Business Services & Projects, Oxford University.
