Concept
The strategic decision to adopt ITIL came
from the IT departments initiative to optimize its processes by consolidating various
systems. The IT initiative prompted other
internal questions. Could the existing helpdesk software keep up with an overhaul of
the service organization? It quickly became
apparent that an adaptation of the existing
system was too cumbersome; an ITIL-compliant application had to be implemented.
According to Marcel Comans, Manager of
IT Service & Support, the selection of an
ITIL application was based on very clear
criteria, namely scalability, universal ITILbasis, minimal adaptation effort, and an
excellent price /performance ratio when
compared to other solutions. All these
aspects supported his choice of iET ITSM.
The same criteria were also applied to the
selection of the new IT service management system (ITSM). The tool had to
represent state of the art technology and
allow the employees in the IT department to
participate in the application development.

Incident Management
All incidents ranging from requests to
replace a faulty keyboard to reporting a
major problem with the banking system are
recorded in the Incident Management
program, together with warnings or error
messages from the monitoring system. An
incident ticket is generated, classified and
prioritized into various service categories,
since not all incidents are equally important
and urgent. This system actively supports
the five employees at the helpdesk in this
task. Each error is categorized, and based
on its system category, can only receive
certain priorities, which in turn are
connected to the service levels.
Marcel Comans sees a clear advantage to
this. My colleagues at the helpdesk have it
much easier with iET ITSM, and in case of
an escalation, we can ensure that only the
relevant cases are being presented to
management.
Looking back, Marcel Comans is very
satisfied with the result. All members of the
process were involved right from the start,
which ensured the great acceptance that
we have today. Together with our customers, we defined recovery periods that are
documented in corresponding service levels
and which can be monitored with iET ITSM.
Our customers appreciate that they only
have to deal with a single point of contact.
It makes no difference whether an incident
is reported by telephone via the hotline,
over the Internet or by email. If a service
level agreement stipulates that the customer must be called back within 24 hours,
the employee will be reminded in time to do
so. With the introduction of ITSM, it is now
possible to send email messages and
escalations to the responsible employees
and management.
The Intranet interface with standardized
messages is another enhancement that is
greatly welcomed by internal customers
from various departments. Explaining the
systems success, Comans said, There

Change Management
Frequently the solution to a problem
requires extensive changes to the systems.
In the IT production area, the third-level
support, called the IT systems infrastructure team, is concerned with change
management. Under the project management of Alexander Venzke, head of
IT systems infrastructure, the relevant
processes are set up according to ITIL.
In addition to IT production, a second area
called IT solutions is involved in the
processes each step along the way. Afterwards, approximately 20 employees will
use iET ITSM for their daily work. With this
approach DAB Bank builds up a system
that represents the banks individual service
processes as a whole and is used by all IT
areas throughout the company.
