LEADING COMPANIES SUPPORT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE INNOVATION EFFORTS

THE INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE (IMI) HELPS COMPANIES FIND VALUE IN IT INVESTMENTS

Information Technology (IT) leaders are joining the collaboration efforts around IT Infrastructure, set forth by the Infrastructure Management Institute (IMI) based at Northern Kentucky University Northern Kentucky University is a public, co-educational university located in Highland Heights, Kentucky, seven miles (11 km) southeast of Cincinnati, Ohio. Enrollment is currently about 14,200 students.  (NKU NKU Northern Kentucky University (Highland Heights, KY, USA)
NKU Najvyššieho Kontrolného Úradu
). IT Infrastructure is technology such as servers, networks, and software that drive the core foundational processes (such as email services, telecommunications, and corporate websites) which help companies achieve their business goals. The IMI works to improve the value companies get from their IT investments and to help member companies explore and research new technologies and solutions.

An emerging methodology for improving IT management is the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library, www.itil.co.uk) One of the more comprehensive as well as non-proprietary and publicly available sets of guidelines for "best practice" IT services management, owned by the British Office of Government Commerce (OGC). ). ITIL is a set of proven "best practices" that is gaining much momentum in the IT industry. As many area companies look to migrate to ITIL to improve business and technology performance, the IMI, NKU, Technology Management Partners (TMP TMP (thymidine monophosphate): see thymine. ) and now iET Solutions are in collaboration to help them manage this migration and evaluate some of the newer tools, solutions and strategies. iET Solutions has provided their IT Service Management (iET ITSM ITSM Information Technology Service Management

) suite, built on ITIL practices, to the IMI to be utilized in the IMI Lab. Members of the IMI can access the lab to view the deployed iET Solutions software while learning ways they can utilize this world class solution to become more customer focused, improve service levels, and reduce IT costs.

This deployment underscores iET Solutions desire to provide a Midwest based operation to support its partners (like IMI and TMP) and its local customers such as Children's Hospital A children's hospital is a hospital which offers its services exclusively to children. The number of children's hospitals proliferated in the 20th century, as pediatric medical and surgical specialties separated from internal medicine and adult surgical specialties.  and the University of Cincinnati The University of Cincinnati is a coeducational public research university in Cincinnati, Ohio. Ranked as one of America’s top 25 public research universities and in the top 50 of all American research universities,[2] . iET Solutions is optimistic about the growing partnership and capabilities available from the Infrastructure Management Institute.

The benefits that IMI's collaboration around technology provides to the IT landscape are being acknowledged from many sources. As Deborah Clayton, Commissioner for the Kentucky Department of Commercialization and Innovation explains, "In a global marketplace, the smart money collaborates in order to compete. The Infrastructure Management Institute at Northern Kentucky University is collaboration between business need and academic resources to drive job growth and global competitiveness."
