To run the business of IT effectively you need the ability to measure your performance across all the services – infrastructure, application, and end user computing – your IT organization delivers. VMware IT Business Management Suite solutions allow IT and service providers to confidently deliver new levels of self-service while ensuring these new services are automatically governed with appropriate business and process-level controls. VMware solutions:

    The IT Business Management Suite delivers an integrated approach to cost and services measurement and management and vendor governance so you can make top-down decisions based on real time data from all layers of IT. VMware solutions allow a service catalog to be accessed via a self-service portal for rapid provisioning of cloud services in accordance with appropriate business-level approval processes. With VMware, you gain the visibility and control you need to cost-effectively and confidently deliver business services across dynamic virtual and hybrid cloud environments.
