Company profile: A large pharmaceutical company with over 600 employees and 8 operating divisions geographically spread around Ireland and the UK. The company focuses primarily on healthcare and the Pharmacy sector with each division concentrating on a specific business. Group turnover is valued at around €700 million.
Requirement: While the company had a complex IT infrastructure the high cost of operating IT was a source of concern to the business. They engaged the services of ESMI, a leader in the area of IT Service Management, to review the situation. ESMI identified a number of issues contributing to problems of inefficiency within the department. There was no Service Desk in place to deal with issue tracking, escalation and resolution and there was a lack of business alignment within IT. ESMI recognised that these issues had to be addressed to avoid serious problems in the short and medium terms and committed to addressing these issues and assisting the company in building a culture of best practice service management.

ESA – European Space Agency is rolling out ITIL best practices in its operations facilities throughout Europe. The approach is to transition the elements most appropriate to ESA by beginning with a programme of educational (knowledge transfer) presentations. These presentations to key staff help to present the value and benefits of ITIL and Service Management in the context of ESA. The practical deliveries by ESMI are being given throughout Europe at ESA operational locations. This “live” and dynamic project reflects the ever changing flexibility required in the application and implementation of ITIL in a real world environment. ESMI’s approach is based on a partnership with ESA.
