to external consultantswho are aware of the major IT refresh that is going to be occurringover the next 24

months.

developed their own internal ITdepartments to supplement the services provided by the

needs and requirements for technology,specifically Verinet, VericomTV and Consumer Sales and

Marketing.

identified issues relating to a lackof consistency in IT Service Management processes used by thedifferent

departments and unclear boundaries for the responsibilitiesof the various IT Service Desks. This has

resulted in:

End users calling the wrong Service Desk, requiring the call tobe redirected to the appropriate group

Inconsistency in the categorization and classification ofservice requests, incidents and problems, causing

confusionand frustration when there are multiple IT departmentsinvolved

Known Errors being recorded internally within the various ITdepartments, which may in fact have a wider

impact on thewhole organization when these are not visible to everyone

problems andKnown Errors.
