ITSM Roadmap

The ITSM Program is a collaborative series of projects and activities within UBC IT, MedIT, Arts ISIT, Sauder LTS, CTLT and Applied Science to develop and implement an IT Service Management framework that can be adopted across IT and non-IT service departments at UBC.

The objectives of the program are to:

  • Improve customer-facing IT service support and delivery to the UBC user community by implementing new service management processes;
  • Establish a solid foundation upon which additional future ITSM processes can be built and continuously improved;
  • Improve accountability to the UBC user community by establishing metrics to report on the effectiveness of the delivered service processes;
  • Reduce duplication and minimize redundant costs and effort by efficiently and effectively sharing resources (people & financial) across multiple IT departments.

Using the ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library) as the foundational framework, IT Service Management includes processes for IT strategy, design, transition, operations and continual service improvement.
