SERVICE MANAGEMENT POLICY

1.  IT SERVICE MANAGEMENT POLICY

The Company has always shown its interest in the formalization of processes, both at a technical and management level, since its creation and has progressively incorporated good practices in Service Management with the adoption of the different aspects of the ITIL methodology. The organization of the company as a set of services provides a vision of technology based on the needs of customers, both internal and external, and on quality and service level commitments. This approach breaks with the usual practice of organizing IT services as independent units structured in a hierarchical manner. Therefore, its implementation can generate rejection in the organization and must be carefully planned to ensure its success. As a first step for the correct implementation of IT Service Management in the company, an IT Service Management policy has been defined, based fundamentally on the following points:

  1. All activities carried out by myCloudDoor Solutions, S.L. (hereinafter myCloudDoor) for its customers must be included in the IT services defined in the scope.
  2. The complete list of services must be kept up to date in a service map that must be public and known by all members of the organization. It must also be available to the customers of the services that do not belong to the organization and to the suppliers that in one way or another participate in the provision of the services.
  3. A Service Management System (hereinafter referred to as SGS) based on ITIL practices is defined.
  4. It is myCloudDoor's vocation to certify the services included in the catalog with the ISO 20000 standard as a measure to ratify their correct definition and implementation.
  5. There is a "SGS05 - myCD - Service Management Plan" where all the characteristics inherent to the SGS are defined. This document is public and accessible to all members of the organization.
  6. There is a document "SGS01 - myCD - Roles and Responsibilities", which defines the roles and responsibilities related to the performance of IT Service Management, from the General Management to the process and service managers.
  7. Professionalize and align operations with the best market practices, and improve service productivity.

A second objective is to apply the experience and knowledge to the services that myCloudDoor designs and offers to its customers. It is understood that if myCloudDoor certifies the services it offers under a regularized service catalog, it will be able to demonstrate its solvency in the technical implementation of the services and, in general, reorient its relationship with the client based on well-defined, uniform services, and with guaranteed Quality of Service commitments, orienting offers and solutions towards the provision of the service.
