Business & Operation Support Systems (B/OSS)

BENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTING IBM Control Desk

• Transparent IT asset lifecycle management to provide inventory management and software license compliance capabilities
• Single point of contact for managing service requests and handling incidents
• Reduced risk and supporting service integrity with change, configuration and release management
• Usability and integration with access to IT services and interaction with service management processes
• Reduces training costs and user efficiency with self-service
• Automation, control and governance by allowing users to automate lower risk activities
• Helps to ensure that environmental change to the provisioning or a machine outage does not impact service level agreements (SLAs)
• Delivers support for service providers to help enhance profitability and customer satisfaction
• Flexibility regarding solution installation (on-site or SaaS solution).

• The data and business procedures within IBM Maximo support asset, service and work management and also connect with metrics based on decision-making across all industries.
• Maintenance activity recorded on the asset gives the necessary amount of performance data to provide cost, failure and fit-for-purpose data attributes against that asset.
• This information is utilized via IBM Maximo’s reporting suite or external reporting tools to trend asset performance and make effective business decisions.
• This complete perspective allows you to understand all of your assets’ performance, reduce unplanned maintenance costs and increase asset uptime, leading to combined performance improvements.

 

IBM Maximo ADDITIONAL OPTIONS

• IBM Maximo Linear Asset Management for linear assets such as roads, railways and pipelines.
• IBM Maximo Scheduler for visual design of work and project plans (Gantt charts).
• IBM Maximo Spatial Asset Management for visualizing the spatial relationships among managed assets and other mapped features.
• IBM Maximo Calibration for calibration of assets and standards that are used to calibrate them.

Network performance

• Network bandwidth usage
• Packet loss rate
• Interface error-rate
• High CPU or memory utilization
• Number of tcp connections is anomaly high for this day of the week
• Aggregate throughput of core routers is low

 

Network health

• Link is down
• System status is in warning/critical state
• Device temperature is too high / too low
• Power supply is in critical state
• Free disk space is low
• Fan is in critical state
• No SNMP data collection

Configuration changes

• New device added or removed
• Network module is added, removed or replaced
• Firmware has been upgraded
• Device serial number has changed
• Interface has changed to lower speed or half-duplex mode
