QUESTION NO: 1
Refer to Scenario
An IT services company has been providing hosted and managed IT services to a number of major customers for over 20 years. It has invested heavily in ITIL-based service management processes over the last five years, which has resulted in an increase in the quality of the IT services and an increase in customer satisfaction with the services. This activity has led to a significant growth in the number of customers that the company serves.
The company has implemented all of the service design, service transition and service operation processes to some extent, and is now developing other processes based on ITIL service strategy. As a result of this latest activity they have recognized that their existing service management tool is limited in its ability to support several existing processes, and all of the planned new ones. The supplier of the existing tool is reducing its investment in future development of the tool and is, therefore, unwilling to commit to any additional new facilities or functionality. This has now become an issue for the company and, as a result, they are looking to replace the existing tool with a more comprehensive alternative.
The company plans to develop a requirements specification for the replacement tool and is redwing the areas that need to be considered, including its deployment throughout the organization. The budget for the new tool is limited, therefore it is essential that the new tool can be implemented and used as quickly as possible in order to obtain maximum return on investment (ROI).
Which one of the following options provides the BEST description of the areas that should be addressed by the requirements specification for the new tool?

QUESTION NO: 2
Scenario
A flower delivery company introduced ITIL-based service management processes 12 months ago.
One major benefit of the associated service improvement initiatives was that the service availability of the business critical on-line flower ordering IT service increased from 97% to 98.9% over the last quarter. This exceeds the service availability target of 98.5%. Last month, reports were circulated showing the availability improvement.
The service level manager is chairing a service review meeting to review the progress and report upon this achievement. The customer managers acknowledge the improvement but despite the reports of improved service availability, a major service outage occurred during the busiest week of the year when over 25% of the annual business revenue is normally earned. Although IT dealt with the outage satisfactorily, the loss of revenue and credibility in this mission critical, high-visibility trading period are serious concerns. The customer managers are concerned that the reporting does not seem to reflect this or their actual perception of the service.
Agreement is reached at the meeting to address two primary concerns:
1. Service availability targets for the mission critical periods are to be revised.
2. Amended and more representative business reports are to be produced.
Refer to the Scenario.
Which one of the following options will BEST ensure that the primary concerns related to the revision and reporting of targets are addressed?
