    The service management principles underpinning ILM2.0 based practices are quite common and found in methodologies such as ITSM & ITIL. However, what ILM2.0 does uniquely is to take service management methods past policy and practice definition into implementation. ILM2.0 defines how to design and implement a service such as cloud or a business practice such as business continuity or at a data or information-level, information governance or security practices. To illustrate, here are example business cases for the application of ILM2.0 based practices. 


Service Management Business Case Examples
  • Cloud-based Services 
  • Digital Preservation (Archive) Services and Repositories
  • Retention Management
  • Security
  • Information Governance & Compliance
  • Litigation Support
  • Infrastructure service management (outsourcing)
  
    The approach of solving these business practices using service management and an ILM2.0 based approach creates profound opportunity to deploy new tools and a transformative experience that can be used to improve the success of any deployment. Here are some key examples of new tools: 
    • How to articulate Quality of Service
    • Planning and Service-Level Auditing based on the ILM Maturity Model
    • Defining Business Requirements
    • Classification Methods, instrumentation, and management
    • Redefined Service Level Objectives & Metrics
    • Optimizing the service catalog



    The transformative art of 
    service management and ILM is that 
    combined, they focus 
    on managing the 
    infrastructure 
    to the business requirements
    instead of managing information! 
      





    Service Management and ILM2.0 Practices




    Why Service Management and ILM2.0?
    ITIL V3 focuses on business processes but neither it or the service management community take it quite far enough.  Information is the lifeblood of IT; always in motion; sustaining business processes; and, yet how information is managed over its lifecycle seems to have slipped through the cracks. The external forces of information governance, compliance, risk management, and litigation support  demand that the business requirements for information assets  be placed in the forefront of enterprise architecture  and IT services design. New “information-intensive” technologies like cloud computing expose the risk and make it imperative to understand the service management requirements of business processes to ensure that the business requirements for information are fulfilled.
