Best Practices in IT and Business Processes

I am a PhD student in my second year and I look for collaboration with other researchers in my field.

Are you interested in exploring the power of best practices to optimize IT services and business processes within organizations? Look no further! We have a proposal that aims to integrate multiple best practices, leveraging their strengths to create an enhanced Service Level Agreement (SLA) process.

You do not necessarily have to reinvent the wheel to be successful, Best practices have been proven to be successful in multiple organizations across various industries. They offer standardized approaches and guidelines to optimize efficiency, effectiveness, and service levels in business disciplines or processes. They contribute to improved services, security, and overall value for organizations by maximizing their investments.

🌐 Notable Best Practices:

Our proposal focuses on the integration of four key best practices:

1️⃣ ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library): A widely recognized framework for IT service management

2️⃣ COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and related Technology): A best practice for enterprise governance and the management of information and technology

3️⃣ eTOM (Enhanced Telecommunication Operating Manual): A framework that specializes in Network Business processes best practices

4️⃣ CMMI (Capability-Maturity Model Integration Framework): A best practice for maturity improvement

🚀 The Power of Integration:

While each best practice can bring significant benefits on its own, the true potential lies in integrating them. Integration allows organizations to leverage the strengths of each best practice and create a comprehensive, optimized capability that benefits customers, employees, suppliers, and partners.

🔍 The Challenge:

Many organizations face the challenge of multiple best practices covering similar processes, making it difficult to follow the same process using different best practices simultaneously. Our research proposes a solution by integrating these best practices and developing an enhanced process that is compliant with all integrated best practices. This integrated approach ensures readiness for certification audits and facilitates harmonization across standards.

💡 Our Approach: "Best of Breed"

To address the weaknesses and maximize the strengths of each best practice, we adopt a "Best of Breed" strategy. This approach selects the best elements from each integrated best practice, ensuring the resulting enhanced processes align with business requirements and improve ICT maturity. Our goal is to deliver an enhanced hybrid of best practices that fits various ICT sectors and enhances the desired business value.
