LINJAL model
The main challenge of the management of IT services is the wide range of subjects and disciplines needed. Usually three main service areas can be identified: technical consulting and personnel services, software development and data center and client services. In addition every domain has its specific processes and also its own expense and billing models. Each of these services passing through a number of phases in its lifecycle. These range from requirements through implementation to operational performance and finally the replacement with a new bundle of services. In addition to straight technical and professional subjects and a variety of metatasks and processes, such as portfolio management, sales, human resources and finance and service level management need to be considered.
LINJAL used the longstanding experience of its consultants to create a comprehensive model. In addition universal lifecycles and cost models for IT services and related processes from the production and support tasks have been considered. The cybernetic LINJAL control model is an overarching brace across all disciplines and unifies all individual indicators into a common performance measurement system.
