Public Holidays, SLAs and Technicians Assignment

Do you take into account publc holidays with your service desk? For example, where the Service Desk has a global customer base and office locations in multiple countries, the observed public holidays for the different countries and states can be configured by the Administrator. Then when a request is logged by a customer in one country where the service desk has a public holiday, it assigns the new request to a Technician in a region that does not have the holiday.

Using Visio Drawings in Operations Center

Several organizations leverage Visio to document their environment. They use Visio to show network schematics, large application deployments, even documenting the hardware in racks. With Novell Operations Center 5.0 we have made it even easier to bring in Visio drawings and lighting them up with elements being managed to show health and availability.

In the flash video attached to this blog, I recorded an example of bringing in a visio drawing and then linking elements to different things on the computer racks.
