User Manual

WIH for demand handling within the Ericsson Business Process

Abstract

All IT demands on Global Business Applications are to be handled in the WIH application (Worldwide Integrated Helpdesk). This User Manual includes a general description of WIH and a work instruction how the application is used for demand handling.

This document is to be used as a reference book, and therefore some topics are recurrent. The User Manual is divided into three main areas:

WIH Structure

WIH Basics

IT Demand handling in WIH

WIH Structure

All IT demands on Global Business Applications are to be handled in WIH, and Process Owners, Group IT and the IT Suppliers should consequently exist as user groups in the application.

General WIH structure

The WIH structure can be summarized using four different parts[1]:

Access Groups[2]

Support Units

Teams

Team members

Each of the levels is further described in a separate section below, and figure 1 indicates their relationship.

Figure 1. Relationship of the different levels that together build the base for the WIH structure.

Access Group

An Access Group is a logical grouping of Support Units. The reasons and underlying causes could be their organizational belonging, that they work with the same kind of process or that they share a Contact Center. In WIH, each Access Group has an appointed Access Group Administrator, which is responsible for the whole group and how they work in the system[3].

Support Unit

A Support Unit is a high-level unit that consists of different teams. This means that the Support Unit itself does no have team members and it cannot be assigned to requests. The teams in a Support Unit should be logically grouped together for example as they handle incident requests for the same application or work within a unique process.

The Support Units should, for security reasons, not consist of teams with different organizational belonging. This is important as all team members in a single team in the Support Unit can view and open all requests assigned to the Support Unit regardless of what team the request is assigned to.

A Support Unit can belong to an Access Groups according to section 1.1.1, but this is not mandatory. Support Units, that are not included in an Access Group, are simply located outside these logical groupings.

In WIH, each Support Unit has a Support Unit Owner and a Support Unit Administrator[4]. The Support Unit Owner is responsible for the Support Units, its requests and towards IT Service Desk. The Support Unit Administrator is a system administrative role with responsibility for the Support Unit and how they work in the system.

All Support Unit have a unique Support Unit code (example E2173 for Group ITs Support Unit), that is used within the application to refer to it.

Team

A Team is the lowest structural level in WIH, and at this level WIH requests are created and managed. The teams are built up of selected WIH users called Team members. The Team must belong to one Support Unit according to section 1.1.2 above.

In WIH, each Team has a Team Leader, which is responsible for the Team, its requests and towards IT Service Desk.

Team member

Team members are represented by the actual WIH users. A WIH user can belong to one or several teams, although these belong to different Support Units and/or Access Groups. A Team Member has the rights to:

Modify all requests assigned to the Team

View all requests assigned to the Support Unit that the Team belongs to

WIH structure for the IT Service Development flow

Each of the stakeholders should have an own Support Unit according to figure 2, where a circle represents a unique Support Unit. The grey clouds are grouping of Support Units called Access Groups.

Figure 2. View of the WIH structure for IT demand handling. The yellow circles represent Support Units and the grey clouds represent Access Groups. The numbers correspond to the different stakeholder boarders: (1a) Demand requestor to IT Service Desk or (1b) Demand requestor to Process Owners, (2) IT Service Desk to Process Owners, (3) Process Owner to Group IT and (4) Group IT to IT Suppliers.

IT Service Desk

IT Service Desk personnel at HP are not using WIH. Instead they have a transfer bridge (Case Exchange) between their Radix/Open View Service Desk (OVSD) application and WIH.

Process Owners

Each Process Area is recommended to have an own Support Unit in WIH, in which they handle and prioritize all incoming demands. IT demands are required to be handled using WIH when sent to Group IT, but the application structure is also applicable for management of process demands. The Process Area Support Units are placed in a WIH Access Group called Ericsson Business Process Demands.

The following Support Units exist:

Process Area Support Unit code

New New ticket, not yet saved

Finance Not implemented the new structure

HR Not implemented the new structure

IT Not implemented the new structure

Product Management  Not implemented the new structure

R&D Not implemented the new structure

Sales & Marketing  Not implemented the new structure

Security Not implemented the new structure

Service Delivery  E2172

Sourcing Not implemented the new structure

Supply Not implemented the new structure

Web/Portal/Collaboration  Not implemented the new structure

Table 1. WIH Support Unit codes for each Process Area.

As a recommendation, team members should be people having (but not limited to) the following roles: Process Owners, Process Managers and BISO.

Each Process Area can structure their Support Unit and teams to best support wanted way of demand handling. However, chapter 2 describes WIH requirements when to reassign an IT demand to Group IT for technical review.

Group IT

Group IT have a Support Unit (Support Unit code: E2173, Support Unit name: IT Demands) that handles all kind of IT related demands within the Ericsson Business Process. WIH demand tickets should be assigned to IT Demands when the demand is approved from a process view by the Process Owner.

Simplified, one Process Area should most of the time only need to communicate with one team within Support Unit E2173. The following teams should at least exist within the Support Unit when the new structure is in place:

IT Area Finance

IT Area HR

IT Area IT

IT Area Product Management

IT Area R&D

IT Area Security

IT Area Service Delivery

IT Area Sourcing

IT Area Supply

As a recommendation, team members should be people having (but not limited to) the following roles: IT Account Manager, IT System Area Manager, IT System Manager, IT Performance Manager, IT Solution Expert, Enterprise IT Architect, IT Program Manager, Information Manager and Cross Process Driving PA.

IT Suppliers

All IT Suppliers should have their own Support Unit(s) in WIH[5] . If the IT Supplier does not have a Support Unit in WIH or if all communication for some reason is made outside the application, then it is recommended to clearly state this in the [Work Log] field. The mail functionality in WIH should preferably be used for IT Supplier communication to increase the follow-up and traceability possibilities within WIH.

IT Demand handling in WIH

Create a demand ticket

Depending on if the demand issuer has access to WIH or not, there are two alternative ways to issue an IT demand. In both cases a Demand Specification template should be used.

Demand creation in WIH

Follow these steps to create a demand ticket in WIH:

Use the [Team] drop down list at the start page to select your team.

Enter the Corporate ID of the Demand Owner in the [Customer ID] field and press the return key on the keyboard.

Press the [New Request] icon to create a new demand

Change the [Severity] field to 5 (No impact)

Select Process Area and Demand Type in the [System] drop down list. If wanted combination does not appear in the drop down list, enter the Process Area name and press the return key to search.

Select relevant Global Business Application name (if IT demand) or sub-process area (if Process demand) in the [System Component] field.

Use the [Service] drop down list to select one of the following:

Tool requirement (demand on an IT tool)

Process requirement (demand on a global process)

Method requirement (demand on a method within a global process)

The [Request Type] field will automatically be set to Demand.

The [SLD Reference] field will automatically be set to Global.

Leave the [Service Option] field blank

Copy the title of the demand from the Demand Specification template and paste it into the [Short Description] field

Copy the text from Detailed demand description in the Demand Specification template and paste it into the [Description] field

Attach the Demand Specification template in the [Attachment] field.

Right click in the [Attachments] area

Choose Add and proceed in the displayed [Add attachment] window.

As an alternative the Demand Specification template can be inserted as an Eridoc link in the [Description] field.

Press the [Auto Reassign] button.

Select affected Process Area in the selection list and press the [OK] button.

The [Region], [Support Unit] and [Team] fields will be updated accordingly.

If possible, choose the correct receiver in the [Assigned To] field.

Press the [Save] icon in the top right corner of the screen. The Request ID (demand number) is displayed in the [Request ID] field.

Demand creation though IT Service Desk

Fill in the Demand Specification template and secure that local management has approved the demand.

Create an e-mail with IT demand for Process Area AAA as subject, where AAA is the Process Area that is affected by the demand. Attach the demand specification document to the e-mail and send it to IT Service Desk . The e-mail will be returned to the sender, if no Process Area is stated in the subject line.

HP personnel will thereafter create a demand ticket in WIH and route it to the affected Process Area.

Work with a demand

Select you team in the [Team] field

Press the [My] or [Team] icon, depending on if you want to see your demands (regardless of team) or all demands assigned to team chosen in the drop-down list next to the icon

You can sort the found demands by clicking on the header list above the columns

Double click on the demand ticket row to open it

Change the [Status] field to Opened (Start work) if not already done

Perform wanted actions and modifications

Press the [Save] icon

Close a demand

IT Demands can be closed due to two different reasons:

The demand has been developed, tested and set into production: This step is performed by the IT Supplier (or Group IT, if the Supplier does not use WIH)

The demand has been rejected: This step is always performed by the Process Owner. If the WIH ticket is owned by another Support Unit it should hence be reassigned the Process Area Support Unit with rejection information in the [Work Log] field.

It is also the responsibility of the Process Owner to contact the Demand issuer and Owner with information regarding the demand rejection.

The following steps should be performed to closed a WIH demand ticket:

Select you team in the [Team] field

Press the [My] or [Team] icon, depending on if you want to see your demands (regardless of team) or all demands assigned to team chosen in the drop-down list next to the icon
