System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2

Each time your company expands, new employees are hired or new applications and services are provided, managing existing IT systems becomes an immense challenge. Because of higher costs and increasingly complex IT environments, IT departments are frequently forced to do "cleanup jobs" instead of focussing on their original job. According to analysts, more than 70 % of all IT costs are caused by managing existing projects and IT services - without any surplus value for the company whatsoever. Microsoft® System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 is the perfect solution for handling these challenges. System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 allows for an increased efficiency as well as improved control of your IT environments. Operations Manager enables you to invest time and ressources into those projects that really create a surplus value for your company.

System Center Service Manager

The IT Service Desk is the primary contact between end-users and IT organisation or service provider. Mostly, Service Desk personnel try to "soonest possible handle user requests". However, Best Practices call for a more comprehensive role and require Service Desks to be much more than just a traditional Helpdesk. The scope of functions ranges from incident management to problem management, change management as well as asset and configuration management. Organisations trying to approach this problem with traditional technologies soon realise that these technologies are by far not flexible enough; that there is no integration with other system management tools; that there is no process optimization to implement these Best Practices (e.g. Microsoft Operations Framework).
