Description
Improve operational support and analysis by applying the principles taught in the ITIL® Intermediate OSA course. Targeted at IT professionals responsible for configuration management, operations and availability, the ITIL® Intermediate OSA course shows how to implement Operational Support and Analysis best practices.
The ITIL® framework is a vendor-agnostic library of processes and procedures designed to improve IT service delivery. The ITIL® Intermediate OSA course helps students focus purely on the operational support and analysis aspects of the framework, making it perfect for:
-
Configuration managers who will be responsible for making the operational changes required for ITIL® event and incident management.
-
The availability manager who will be responsible for designing operational support mechanisms without affecting system availability.
-
IT operations managers who need to better understand and measure their operational performance.
-
Other IT professionals responsible for assisting with operational support and analysis functions.
The self-study format of the ITIL® Intermediate OSA course uses videos, documents and self-assessment tools to help students focus their attentions and efforts appropriately. Upon completion, students will be ready to sit the ITIL® OSA exams, or to continue studying for the full ITIL® Intermediate qualification.
