Business Service Management (BSM) the new buzz word, well I hope its not since it’s an imperative to optimizing business efficiency. I’ve tried to articulate this before when defining Enterprise Architecture consisting of both IT and Business Operations; with BSM I think we can continue to see the trend of blending business and IT. As technology and its utilization moves beyond being a business enabler, to part of the business operations itself, we will continue to see the technology mechanics fading into the background. Thus more of a focus on the business service it provides; the management or increased visibility of the quality of the business service instead of just the individual constitute technical components.
Many organizations are still struggling with the management of technical components; so the good news is a BSM initiative might be a catalyst to get an organization’s technology management house in order. Since a BSM enabler is IT Service Management, perhaps BSM provides a focal point to drive good ITSM adoption.
Some BSM resources I found very informative:
