Free e-learning course - IT Business Management [V1.1] Fundamentals
The cloud has created some very specific expectations around how IT services should be made available, delivered, and operated. It has also created some very specific expectations around the need for financial transparency into the cost of cloud services, such as infrastructure cost of public versus private clouds, consumption of services by different groups and users, and so on.
Different stakeholders within the IT organization require different types of information to determine the value that IT services bring to business. VMware IT Business Management (ITBM) solution serves each stakeholder in the IT Services supply chain with a view to address key IT Business Management challenges. ITBM has three editions: Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise, which provide transparency and control over the cost and quality of IT services.
