Capital One Study
Capital One created a business case to clarify its goals and to quantify the
value of ITIL.
1. IT quantified the net present value of recently deployed IT-enabled
products and services,
2. Using generally accepted industry metrics, estimated the savings that
the improved incident, problem and change management processes
would create.
3. This revealed the potential difference between Capital One's ROI in new
products and services with and without ITIL in place.
4. After the analysis, the implementation of ITIL was estimated to save 10-
20 % in technology support costs over a five-year period.
5. Actual returns have been higher, according to Robert Turner, senior VP of
enterprise technology organization.

18. ITIL Improves
Compliance & Security
• ITIL Maps to ISO 27001, CoBIT, NIST, SOX,
HIPAA, GLBA, and FFIEC
• ITIL describes a security m,anagement
function that interfaces with other ITIL
processes.
19. ITIL Security
I T I L Process Risk Assessment Activity
Information Security Management Establishing the ISMS - initial risk
assessment of the service
Monitoring and reviewing the ISMS
periodic risk assessments
Release and Deployment Management Evaluation of risks which may be
introduced by new or changed services
IT Service Continuity Management Evaluation of risks related to service
continuity in the event of a failure of a
component of the service infrastructure
Availability Management Evaluation of risks related to availability of
the Service
Change Management Evaluation of risks related to Requests for
Change (RFC)
Supplier Management Evaluation of risks related to third party
service providers
20. 11 Ways ITIL
Improves Security
1. Audits: ITIL process descriptions provide the basis for sound audits.
2. Asset Management: ITIL Configuration Management. You can only control it if you know it is there and
how it should be configured.
3. Change Management: Required by SOX, HIPAA, and NIST; best practice for security.
4. The ITIL Incident Management process provides the control and flexibility required to manage security
incidents quickly and efficiently without a duplicate organization.
5. Security Incidents require review by security management. Having a single point of contact for all
matters relating to IT – the ITIL Service Desk – provides a single reporting source for all Incidents,
including those pertaining to security.
6. ITIL focuses security where needed based on business requirements, not technology.
7. Since ITIL is all about organizational best practices, the security management process itself can operate
in a process-driven, methodical manner.
8. ITIL requires continuous review, audit, and reporting of processes activities. Security requires
continuous reviews to remain vigilant.
9. Availability Management describes a centralized engineering and architecture that always takes into
account the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability of data (CIA).
10. The Service Level Management process sets up, monitors, reports on, and administers agreements with
customers (SLA), suppliers (UC), and other IT functional departments (OLA). These contracts and
agreements all require security sections.
11. Establish a link between Problem Management and security alert channels. Relevant security issues
should be documented and added to the knowledge base for use by Incident Management and the
service desk as well as other IT functional groups.

39. Client Overview
• Hallmark prioritized their service catalog needs for their initial deployment of
ServiceNow to be related to user onboarding, access services and ordering
hardware/software. All of the items related to each of these areas had existing intranet
forms as well as fulfillment processes. Their desire was to revamp each form and
incorporate it in their service catalog and improve the efficiencies of each related
fulfillment process. It was important to Hallmark that the 12 catalog items that made up
the User Onboarding request also be used as stand alone requests for existing
employees.
• Leveraged AOS Advantage Methodology to:
– Analyze their existing intranet based service catalog and the associated fulfillment
processes to identify areas of improvement
– Develop an agile approach to deliver items iteratively to their testing team
– Execute the approach to accomplish the desired results

Editor's Notes
Get the customer to tell us what is their key focus areas
What are we talking about when we speak of Value to the Customer.
In the case of ServiceNow we are often replacing an old Service Management system. Customers are always concerned with Cost in that case and not value and therefore just want to now how their cost profile will change.
Total Cost of Ownership does not take into account time when you incurr costs nor does it include efficiency gains which your customers are all after. TCO can used against you in selling because the old system is just that an old system.

Essential to the success of automation & orchestration is a comprehensive and accurate CMDB.
Automation and Orchestration can certainly be accomplished without a CMDB, but the overall effort will increase, total potential value of the solution will be reduced, and difficulty providing status, lifecycle management, financial, and operational reporting and analytics increase
