EXIN ITIL Service Capability Service Offerings and Agreements (ITILSC-SOA日本語版) - ITILSC-SOA日本語

シナリオ
ITセキュリティ会社は、いくつかの国の多くの大規模な金融機関に安全なデータサービスを提供しています。 The company has an administrative headquarters in its home country and a data centre in each country of operation.
Each data centre obtains support for services from third-party contracts provided by a number of suppliers. All supporting services are scoped and documented, and are aligned to the corporate strategy and the regulations in force in each country. The security services company maintains and regularly reviews a preferred supplier list from which suppliers are selected as required.
A service desk function is provided by one of the suppliers. Over the last 10 years, a strong relationship has been built up with the supplier based on the high-quality, consistent service they have provided. The nature of the financial business requires the service desk contract to contain severe penalty clauses that can be enforced if the agreed service levels are not maintained, although these have never been required.
A number of complaints have been received from a new banking customer highlighting that, over the previous three months, the level of service provided by the service desk in the management and handling of incidents has been inconsistent, and many incidents have not been resolved in line with agreed targets.
The IT security company has a service level manager who has performed the role for many years. Recently, a new supplier management process was implemented and a supplier manager appointed. Some confusion has arisen over how, and by whom, the recent complaints should be dealt with.

Refer to Scenario
An IT services company has been providing hosted and managed IT services to a number of major customers for over 20 years. It has invested heavily in ITIL-based service management processes over the last five years, which has resulted in an increase in the quality of the IT services and an increase in customer satisfaction with the services. This activity has led to a significant growth in the number of customers that the company serves.
The company has implemented all of the service design, service transition and service operation processes to some extent, and is now developing other processes based on ITIL service strategy. As a result of this latest activity they have recognized that their existing service management tool is limited in its ability to support several existing processes, and all of the planned new ones. The supplier of the existing tool is reducing its investment in future development of the tool and is, therefore, unwilling to commit to any additional new facilities or functionality. This has now become an issue for the company and, as a result, they are looking to replace the existing tool with a more comprehensive alternative.
The company plans to develop a requirements specification for the replacement tool and is redwing the areas that need to be considered, including its deployment throughout the organization. The budget for the new tool is limited, therefore it is essential that the new tool can be implemented and used as quickly as possible in order to obtain maximum return on investment (ROI).
Which one of the following options provides the BEST description of the areas that should be addressed by the requirements specification for the new tool?

• A. The utility and warranty, and service acceptance criteria of the new tool The ability to migrate data from existing tools and to integrate with other tools The planned use of the tool within the organization, together with the type and number of licenses required for its deployment The type and timing of the deployment and the associated tool training and education.
• B. The usability and functionality of the new tool
  The ability to customize the tool to the organization's requirements
