Links that I have found interesting for November 24th:
- BSM Review Launch – This week we launch a new website called www.BSMReview.com.
We believe that only through an exchange of ideas that is unfettered from the revenue and branding objectives of vendors and from the research agenda of any one analyst firm can BSM become a dynamic contributor to the evolution of IT as a welcomed business partner within the enterprise community.
This website is focused on identifying the “next thing to do” to achieve a desirable level of BSM. Dialogue is open to whoever wishes to participate. There is no fee to join …no content that requires a subscription …and no censorship of reasonable ideas and questions. We welcome the addition of qualified contributors to our panel of experts. More importantly, we welcome the content contribution of any person, company or association that can move BSM forward in its goal of reducing IT’s cost, increasing IT’s efficiency and lowering IT’s risk as judged by IT’s customers …which are the business units.
- BMC Communities: Blog: The BSM Continuum: Tales from the Field: No Shortcuts – I came across this pretty good site (Doug McClure) containing clear definitions of Business Service Management and many of its constituencies. What I like about this blog piece is not just the explanation that Doug provides. I like the fundamental truth that he says about it being an evolution and the implication he makes that you have to be patient. The whole exercise takes time and energy and any vendor who tells you otherwise is simply not telling the truth. As I continue to grow in this industry, as I build my personal library of stories from customers, I have yet to come across any evidence that there are any shortcuts in the orchestration of significant change (of the magnitude required by BSM).
