Final Comments

May 6th, 2013

Education Experience Building a NOC Lessons Specifics

Building a NOC is more an art than a science; all NOCs may have similar components but components are just one constituent: the culture, people, budgets, and more play an important role in shaping the outcome. I also have not mentioned ITIL in this discussion. ITIL is a series of “Best Practices” in IT Service Management.
