New whitepaper on ITSM in the Cloud from OVUM

OVUM just released a new whitepaper, Cloud Service Management, moving ITSM beyond the corporate data center. It can be downloaded from any of the HP IT Service Management web pages (www.hp.com/go/itsm).

The paper covers a number of ITSM (both service management and asset management) topics and capabilities that are coming into play as cloud, hybrid, and multi-sourced environments become more pervasive. The paper has a number of observations and recommendations based on OVUM’s work in the industry. The paper also has a discussion of HP’s ITSM related capabilities that support effective process controls as IT organizations increasingly move towards being service brokers.

We encourage you to download and read this new whitepaper.
