Total Value of IT

Together with a team of franchising organizations, Gartner and itSMF (IT Service Management Forum) are offering a product under the name of TVIT - Total Value of IT. The aim is to allow clients to quickly assess their IT costs with a focus on Service Management. The concept is straightforward and simple:

An assessment of Service Management process maturity is combined with a high level IT cost analysis and peer group comparison. On the basis of the analysis, potential gaps are identified and measures to close them identified. The initial analysis and gap identification is performed in a short-term-project at moderate cost.

Lead Work Area

I saw the following sign recently. Guess where ... Yes, a shooting range. I believe that there might be some lead around ... especially the flying lead can harm your health considerably.



But seriously, I can't remember having seen any warning sign like this at our shooting ranges during my army time. Was that no concern back then?
