After the HP open view was rolled out, implementing only limited processes; the IT
employees and the other business employees did not welcome it. Users initially refused
to use the system and it took a lot of patience and planning to make them start using
the system. At some point, the ITIL implementation coordinator requested all IT staff
to deny any request that does not get through the defined processes. However, the IT
members themselves did not follow the newly imposed procedures, for example,
firewalls and anti-virus software would be updated and network switches would be
upgraded without following the proper change management process. The IT manager
had to discuss such cases during the IT team’s weekly meetings and had to ask the
responsible people for justification on why changes were made without following
the defined procedures.
