Content
Information Systems (IS) governance (which oversees, organises and ensures the security of an IS infrastructure) increasingly adopts a service-oriented approach, with flexible, well-defined, on demand, high quality IS services to an organisation’s stakeholders. An IS service is a set of related functions provided by IS to support business areas and business processes, including information security. This unit reviews the role of IS service management and IS services in organisations. It explores key supporting frameworks and models including internal, outsourced and hybrid models for IS service management, and information security methodologies and standards. It also explores important new trends in IS infrastructure and service management including cloud services and mobile services. The unit adopts a strategic outlook and considers which IS service model best supports the strategic context of an organisation. It discusses the security, social, organisational and technological issues which affect IS service management performance. The unit provides students with the opportunity to review IS services in a real-life organisation in order to understand the application of IS service management theory to practice.
