It is not something Jeff Sessions would like to discuss. This paves the way to valuable treasures, which are often still not very clear economic effects.” An important tool is the ITIL framework for it. However, it is in the eyes of Bause in times of crisis with limited budgets to the most effective efficiency accelerators to focus. Serview has worked out therefore the six key areas in an ITIL-agenda, the company currently should focus on: financial management: establishment of standards and structures for the service-oriented budget planning and management as well as to the calculation of costs and for the Kostenreporting.
Service level management: Design and use of clear performance structures that support in contract negotiations on IT services and make only relevant savings possible on the basis of clear cost structures.

Supplier management: Introduction of best practice-based standards for the management of the outsourcing of IT services as a measure to reduce costs and greater flexibility through concentration on the tasks that directly belong to the core business of IT. Security management: Establishment of unique security policies and information security management based on ITIL and ISO/IEC 27001 to the consistent backup of IT services in times of crisis with financial cuts. Service continuity management: Establishment of standards and procedures for controlling secured again starting cases taking into account cost-optimized solutions. Risk management: Development of methods for risk assessment and management structures, to systematically analyze about savings and their influence on the operation.
