IT Service Management at CERN

CHEP paper on service management at CERN (CERN Document Server, record 2698991).

What it anchors

  • CERN has used ITIL service management methodologies and ServiceNow since early 2011.
  • The service catalogue is two-dimensional: a Service Element (SE) describes the service as users see it, and a Functional Element (FE) describes the tool, function or activity supporting it — with supporters and experts declared at FE level.
  • The Service Portal hosts the Status Board and the Service Availability Dashboard.
