KPI Metrics for the Internet, IT, and Service Management - ITSM - The CIOs biggest challenge is to justify staffing and spending levels as they strive to improve IT efficiency. When assessing comparative benchmarks, it is hard to know which metrics to start with. The Metrics for the Internet, Information Technology and Service Management HandiGuide helps CIOs to understand and pick the appropriate comparative benchmarks to justify staffing and spending, improving IT operations and demonstrating the value of IT to the business.
Defining Which Metrics to Use
Most IT metrics efforts lack relevance to the business and are not well linked to business outcomes. They tend to be IT focused, such as WAN availability or server downtime. It is difficult for the business to understand how these measures relate to its objectives, and they provide little insight into the value that IT delivers.
CIOs must create a scorecard and service level agreements that:
- Relate to the enterprise and its management team. Server availability, network throughput, help desk call volumes, capacity utilization, and other IT operational metrics are not relevant to business executives. These types of metrics need to be translated into something enterprise management understands, such as availability of business applications or the cost to support a business area. The IT-operational metrics should be kept within IT unless they can be put in enterprise terms.
- Relate to the enterprise strategic and tactical objectives. Enterprise executives are concerned with introducing new products and services, improving customer loyalty and satisfaction, increasing gross margins, and growing market share. IT metrics must be linked directly to these enterprise objectives, specifically demonstrating how IT initiatives contributed favorably to improving them.
Effective SLAs are extremely important to assure
effective Information Technology operations. The metrics used to measure and
manage performance to SLA commitments are the heart of a successful agreement
and are a critical long term success factor. Lack of experience in the use and
implementation of performance metrics causes problems for many organizations as
they attempt to formulate their SLA strategies and select and set the metrics
needed to support those strategies. Fortunately, while reaching for perfection
is difficult and costly, most organizations can achieve their objectives through
a carefully chosen set of simple-to-collect metrics. Hopefully, this paper
provides some insights into the "whys" and "hows" of this selection process. The Metrics HandiGuide is the tool that can be used to accomplish that task.
At the heart of an effective Service Level Agreement (SLA) are performance metrics and they
- Measure the right performance characteristics to ensure that the client is receiving its required level of service and the service provider is achieving an acceptable level of profitability
- Can be easily collected with an appropriate level of detail but without costly overhead, and
- Tie all commitments to reasonable, attainable performance levels so that "good" service can be easily differentiated from "bad" service, and giving the service provider a fair opportunity to satisfy its client.

Key Performance Indicator (KPI), Metrics, Quality, and Cost Control
A Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a measurable value that demonstrates how effectively a company is achieving key business objectives. Organizations use KPIs to evaluate their success at reaching targets
The quality of IT systems and applications is driven by what is measured, the quality control infrastructure/processes, including version control, that is implemented at the enterprise. Janco, with its clients, has created KPI, QA, and QC infrastructure tools, which when implemented, assist CIOs and IT organizations to become world class providers of services to their enterprises and customers.
