1. Introduction <br />Currently the City of Santa Ana has three departments that have IT staffing and provide IT <br />services, (Police, Public Works and the Library). These services include helpdesk, desktop and <br />applications. The City's IT department consists of 29 centralized members and a dozen <br />decentralized IT staff. The IT department provides the City's Infrastructure, Enterprise <br />Applications, Specialized Applications and Technology Support. The decentralized departments <br />have a dotted -line reporting to the City's CTIO. The combined IT staff supports approximately <br />1,500 City employees in 12 departments. It is the desire to move to a more centralized IT <br />management. <br />There currently are three Instances of an existing service desk tool (SpiceWorks) being used to <br />track service tickets. Asset tracking is currently being performed with spreadsheets and does not <br />include tagging of assets. The City would like to establish a process where assets are tagged, <br />tracked in a system and be able to assign assets to users. Additionally, the City has a desire to <br />establish foundational ITSM processes to support the delivery of IT services and its employees in <br />the 12 City departments. <br />In order to support the City's goals of establishing foundational ITSM support processes, <br />establishing an Asset Management inventory process and system, and moving to a more <br />centralized service desk, the City has chosen the Cherwell ITSM System to replace the existing <br />service desk tool and provide a centralized ITSM system. <br />2. Scope <br />The primary focus of the engagement is to prepare for and implement on premise, the Cherwell <br />ITSM System so that it supports increasing efficiency and delivering value to the City. A key <br />objective of the engagement is to deploy and implement the Cherwell ITSM System with "Out of <br />the Box" ("OOTB") functionality as possible. In order to provide the most effective and successful <br />implementation, proper preparation and pre -work needs to be completed. To ensure the City's <br />goals and objectives are achieved the following components are considered to be in scope of the <br />engagement. <br />• Creation and document high level ITSM services and processes to support the in -scope <br />Cherwell modules.
