Role-specific critical success factors in incident management : case energy management system company
2010
The main goal of the thesis is to find out the Critical Success Factors (CSF) for the roles involved in the Incident Management Process (IMP). As Incident Management is often among the first IT service management processes that organizations implement, more understanding on the process is needed. The thesis approaches the subject based on the roles involved in the process. To define the subject matter, the emerging branch of services science is presented based on literature along with the concepts of IT service management and Service Level Agreements (SLA). The presentation of IMP is based on the IT service management frameworks of ITIL and CobiT. Even though the frameworks have increased i…
Exploring the Relationship between Information Technology Infrastructure Library and Process Management: Theory Development and Empirical Testing
2014
This paper investigates whether information technology (IT) departments that implement the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) processes also employ process management. This is a pertinent issue, as ITIL not only implies a time-limited program for redesigning vital IT processes according to best practices but a complete transformation to ITIL also implies that processes are managed on a daily basis. Without process management, ITIL will not be a success beyond its initial implementation. A survey of 444 Nordic ITIL experts was conducted to examine if there is a correlation between the implementation of ITIL processes and process management. The results are unambiguous and promising for sustain…
Enabling a culture for IT services; the role of the IT infrastructure library
2016
Building on process management and service climate theories, this paper investigates the pertinent issues of whether firms that implement ITIL best practices for IT service management will also experience growth in their process management activities and IT service climate. First, ITIL practices imply that processes in the IT department should be managed on a daily basis; without process management, ITIL will fail beyond its initial implementation. Second, two of the main reasons for adopting ITIL are to become a service-oriented organisation and to deliver IT services that meet business needs. Thus, we hypothesise that as the implementation status of ITIL increases, process management and …
Strategising IT service management through ITIL implementation: model and empirical test
2015
Research on the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) lacks appropriate theories and models that capture the distinct characteristics and implications of the ITIL implementation practice. The purpose of this study is to close this gap. Based on a literature review, we develop and empirically validate a theoretical model: the ITIL Implementation Project Model. The model includes significant antecedents, which provide a foundation upon which an effective ITIL implementation project can be built, as well as the pertinent effects of implementing ITIL. The results contribute to the current research stream on the strategising of IT service management as well as to an improved under…
How to Enhance the Sharing of Cyber Incident Information via Fine-Grained Access Control
2022
Industry 4.0 and the ongoing digital transformation along with a large number interconnected machines anddevices increase the role of cybersecurity, cyber incident handling and incident response in the factories of the future (FoF). Cyber incident information sharing plays a major role when we need to formulate situational pictures about FoF operations and environment, and respond to cybersecurity threats related to e.g. the implementation of novel technologies. Sharing of incident information has a major drawback since it may reveal too much about the attack target, e.g. in the case of legacy systems and therefore restrictions may apply. We have developed a proof-of-concept service that co…
