Develop an IT Infrastructure Services Playbook
Automation, SDI, and DevOps – build a cheat sheet to manage a changing Infrastructure & Operations environment.
Onsite Workshop
Don’t rely on a software tool alone to improve infrastructure service delivery:
- It is expensive and time consuming to deploy.
- It difficult to maintain and requires dedicated staff.
- It will quickly become obsolete if it doesn’t support a solid process.
Build a services playbook that:
- Standardizes high-demand infrastructure services.
- Is quick to create and update.
- Is simple to understand and contains key process information.
