1 Introduction

Synopse Consulting a leader in the area of IT service and systems management consultancy and provides “end-to-end” services in the area of IT Governance, IT Service Management and IT Systems Management through its 3 competence centres:

- IT Service Management tools - Systems Management tools - IT Process consulting - ITSM Training

Synopse Consulting is your trusted partner for complex IT Service Management projects by providing end-to-end solutions, from concept to operations, and make your processes actually work.

Our approach offers the following advantages:

- A unique approach, offering consultancy services at the organization and process level, up to and including the implementation and integration of technical solutions, using rapid deployment methodologies.

- We differentiate from both traditional IT consulting firms as traditional System Integrator, offering only organization and process modelling, or tool integration. We do align, implement and integrate the solutions that we propose.

- A team of trained, experienced and certified consultants in the domain of IT Management. - We deploy best-practices from ITIL, Gartner, which have proven their benefits to many IT

organizations, offering rapid return on investment.

Use of a proven Project Management methodology (Prince2), which assures successful completion of these projects.

ITIL is the de facto international standard framework of best practices in IT Service Management. The IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) contains a comprehensive description of the processes involved in

managing IT infrastructures. ITIL is relevant to anyone involved in the delivery or support of IT services. Whether you are managing day-to-day IT services, or establishing and refining existing processes, ITIL can help you apply internationally proven best practices for the IT services and support you provide.

ITIL has become the global standard and is now rapidly gaining approval all over the world. Right from the start, certification of professionals has been a key element in the ITIL approach.

Synopse Consulting is a founding member of the itSMF Belgium and has contributed actively in modernising the most recent ITIL publications.

Today, Synopse Consulting certifies ITIL-professionals for ITIL Foundation, ITIL Service Manager and ITIL Practitioner, all over the world.

2 Quality

Control

Process

Synopse Consulting feels that a training, including the objectives of quality, controlling costs, flexibility and ability to evolve, cannot be managed by simply making available resources that are more or less organised among themselves.

The concept of the overall project, established for carrying out the objectives of the courses, is the key to the vault of Synopse Consulting’s answer. To attain the goal that has been established, it is essential to put in place different aspects in order to put quality management into practice, and to guarantee quality control.

• The working procedures are an essential tool for the standardisation of our trainings. They always have the potential to change.

• Synopse must also be in a position to guarantee the continuity of the Training Dept, in the short and the long term. All our trainers have several years of experience in the real word as a consultant. This gives the client a guarantee that they know what there talking about.

• Synopse has also a training manager who can be contacted at any time. He is responsible for the quality of services.

Course Evaluation, finally, is an essential tool for monitoring and controlling the quality, of the work load and its development, and the appropriateness of the results to the overall objectives previously defined
