Companys way of working

Cisco IT used a traditional silo-based
organizational structure, with staff members doing both implementation and operational work, to complete deployment of operational projects.
Silo Based Organization Structure

A traditional IT organizational structure, thats makes little distinction between process (task descriptions) and performance (task execution). Traditional IT structure is silo based, with technical expertise concentrated into self-contained organizational units.

Purpose of the change

Reduced costs Optimization of services and resources Improved productivity Cisco IT Network
and Data Center Services (NDCS) Management of Service Support Improving Staff Expertise Minimized and managed Business risk
Change Management
a. Initiating Change:
NAIS interviewed business and IT leaders and senior
engineers, gathered technical process, tools and organizational documents. After an assessment of the current state, NAIS outlined a detailed remediation plan to achieve business goals, and prepared an achievable vision and roadmap.
b. Implementing Change; restructuring of organization into a new model

In Ciscos second quarter of fiscal year
2008 (CY08 fourth quarter), Manville, the Vise President of Cisco, restructured NDCS to its own lifecycle business model, typically used by Cisco Services for customer network implementation
Cisco lifecycle methodology ( Implementation)

The Cisco lifecycle methodology is comprised of six phases

Prepare Plan Design Implement Operate Optimize
Prepare phase
The organization determines a business case
and financial support for the adoption of new technology Developed a technology strategy and a highlevel architecture to meet those needs, and business is better equipped to contain costs during operations
Plan phase
The IT department develops a detailed
project plan to identify resources, potential difficulties, individual responsibilities, and the critical tasks necessary to deliver the final project on time and on budget.
Design phase
Organization develops a detailed design
to reducing risk, delays, and the total cost of network operations IT can improve network performance while supporting high availability, reliability and security
Implementation phase
The organization works to integrate
devices and new capabilities in accordance with the design

After identifying and resolving potential
problems, the organization attempts to speed return on investment with an efficient migration and successful implementation, including installing, configuring, integrating, and testing
Operate phase
In this phase IT department proactively
monitors the health and vital signs of the network to improve service quality, reduce disturbances , mitigate outages, and maintain high availability, reliability, and security
Optimize phase
Optimization is the continuous process
of planning, designing, and implementing incremental improvements to existing processes

As the organization looks to optimize its
network and prepares to adapt to changing needs, the lifecycle continually developing the network and improving results
Testing the Lifecycle Methodology Within Cisco IT NDCS

NDCS NEW LIFECYCLE MODEL
OUTCOMES &EFFECTS OF CHANGE

MANAGAGING SERVICE SUPPORT
The new organizational structure enables Cisco
NDCS to proactively look for additional ways to improve efficiency in managing service support. For this: a) Train new staff members to handle incidents more quickly, which in turn reduces the impact of time. b)Tools are being created to identify problems before they cause client impact.
TRACKING SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS (SLAs)
The restructure has enabled NDCS
to track service-level agreements (SLAs) for client support, and educate them on Ciscos processes.
