XBRL
XBRL Courses and Delivery
of Training for Your Organization

Extensible Business Reporting Language, or XBRL, is the freely


available, open, and global standard for exchanging business
information. Global Regulators and Governments are increasingly
requiring electronic reporting of business and financial
information. This is, however, not just another regulation. The
use of XBRL for electronic reporting, streamlines and speeds up
reporting processes, and shortens the time to market for data
critical to investor decision-making.
Millions of organizations around the globe are adopting XBRL
without any in-house knowledge. The pitfalls are multifold,
ranging from non-compliancy with the national regulators
requirements, bad valuation by investors and analysts, to a
potential civil lawsuit for providing misleading information.
Developing in-house XBRL knowledge is the best way to adopt
the latest regulators requirements for XBRL; whereas working
with external service providers requires a considerable investment.
XBRL Foundation training will allow an organization to speed up
XBRL adoption, while maintaining control of the data quality.

This blended ITIL Foundation training, fully updated to ITIL 2011, introduces learners to the lifecycle of IT Service
Management. The course includes an engaging, case study based approach to learning the core disciplines of the
ITIL best practices. Blended training is a powerful solution that combines the flexibility of eLearning with traditional
classroom coaching for a superior learning experience. In preparing for the ITIL Foundation certification learners start
with upfront prep time via self-paced eLearning, covering the theoretical concepts. This is followed by instructor-led
classroom coaching (either in a physical or a virtual setting), allowing the participants to engage with the instructor
and other learners and review the concepts they previously learned alone. Fewer days spent in class reduces out-ofoffice training costs and lost employee hours. Learners are well-positioned to successfully complete the associated
exam required for entry into the future ITIL intermediate level training courses.

Course Description:
Houston, we have a problem, these grave words were spoken just fifty-five hours and fifty-five minutes into the

You discover that your spacecraft is slowly dying. You have a serious problem, unless you and the ground support

practices.
Business Simulation Makes a Difference:
Business simulation is a powerful vehicle to make learning stick and has proven to support organizational change
initiatives and best practice implementation programs. During a Business Simulation, we simulate (all too)
recognizable business processes and scenarios. The environment is challenging and realistic. You will have to design
your own processes while working together as a team. You will have to execute
and improve your processes and agreed-to-ways of working. Three rounds of
simulation will be given during this course. You will have the chance to reflect,
discuss and improve your ability to translate theory and knowledge into practical
application.

What Customers Are Saying About the Apollo 13 Business Simulation:
In Apollo, it wasnt about making money. We were confronted with the
same demands as we get from the Business i.e., lower cost of ownership, increase customer satisfaction, do more with
less, demonstrate business value from ITSM. In Apollo, we learned how to measure and demonstrate these using ITIL
processes.
Really good, fun and an original way of simulating reality.
A real eye opener: which processes are running in parallel, right now, and which ones are important, at that time.
We became aware of the interdependencies of processes.
We can see the cost of doing things wrong.
Time pressure is like real lifeits about planning and making choices.
We have become aware of the chaos and confusion in the processes, and of our own responsibilities.

Service Management qualification. This course is available as a 5-day Classroom training program, as well as a 2-day
Blended training course (available through the ITpreneurs Expert Program).
The Managing Across the Lifecycle course builds on the knowledge and experience that learners obtained in the
Intermediate courses. Learners are required to apply this knowledge, as well as the experience they have obtained
performing service management functions. There are five strategic assignments developed around the Royal Phraya
Hotel chain. This hotel is also featured in all other ITpreneurs ITIL courses. However, in the new course, the chain has
expanded their business to other countries around the globe. The scenarios build upon each other, which means
that, as in real life, if you make mistakes at the beginning, it will come back to you later. Each of the scenarios covers
multiple learning objectives from the MALC syllabus. Additionally, the entire syllabus is fully covered in the course.
Learners, who perform well in this advanced training program, will do well in the final MALC exam.
The Royal Phraya has just conducted an acquisition and learners have to assist management in the integration. When
doing so, they will be asked to analyze and apply ITIL concepts and apply these to the situation (Bloom Level 4); and
synthesize and evaluate information to create a meaningful result for the hotel (Bloom Level 5). Learners work in
small teams, or operate individually, and when working in teams their team roles rotate. Each team member must
lead at least one strategic assignment. During the course, the instructor plays the role of the technology manager of
the Royal Phraya Hotel chain.
ITpreneurs delivers a next generation learning experience with the MALC training program. This program will test
your readiness to become an ITIL Expert, and will guide you through the process to make sure that you understand
your growth areas, as well as the areas in which you excel.

Service Management

The structure of the program and expectations (based on the 12-week classic delivery option):
The program starts with a pre-course conference call that takes place four weeks prior to the first (physical or
virtual) classroom session. The course instructor and all the participants attend this call.
Before attending classroom sessions, participants are required to complete the online self-study of the respective
modules. The self-study modules focus on the knowledge component of the Lifecycle courses (Bloom level 1, 2).
The instructor monitors progress of participants during this time, using the ITpreneurs online campus. The instructor
is also available for questions via email or telephone.
There are two 4-day classroom sessions, with one month between the two sessions. The classroom sessions are
focused on practical application, analyzing and synthesizing information (Bloom level 3,4,5). The first classroom
session covers SS, SD and part of CSI. The second session includes the second part of CSI, followed by ST and SO.
After the classroom sessions, participants complete the online self-study modules with a specific focus on exam
preparation. Once participants feel ready to take on the exam, they schedule and take the individual exams at a
time and date that is convenient to them, but at least before the next classroom session starts.
The Managing Across the Lifecycle section of the course is the last component of the course. This block includes
online self-study and classroom sessions. The classroom session lasts two days, and the online learning modules
include 15 hours of content.
Delivery options:
The Classic: This is the default option for the Expert Track. In this delivery option you meet fellow participants three
times in a 12-week period (4 days, 4 days and 2 days) and complete the online self-study between the sessions.
The Classic Virtual: Same as the default option, but all classroom sessions take place in a Virtual Classroom.
The Boot Camp: This option requires you to complete all five online self-study Lifecycle modules prior to coming
to the classroom. In eight classroom days, all the Lifecycle courses are completed. Another 2-day session for MALC
comes two weeks later.
The Weekend Warrior: Online self-study modules are completed during the weekends. Participants come to class
one-day a week for twelve weeks.
About the Examination:
Participants schedule the exams at times and dates that are convenient to them, but at least before the next
classroom session starts. All Lifecycle Exams must be completed prior to attending the MALC component of the
course.
Exams for the Intermediate courses are closed book, eight multiple-choice, scenario-based, gradient-scored
questions. The Exam for MALC has ten complex multiple-choice, gradient-scored questions that are based upon a
single case study.
The exam duration for Intermediate courses is a maximum of 90 minutes for all candidates in their respective native
language. Candidates taking the examination in a language other than their native language, have a maximum of
120 minutes and are allowed to use a dictionary (only paper-based exams). Exam duration for MALC is a maximum
of 120 minutes and 150 minutes for candidates taking the examination in a language other than their native
language.
The Pass score is 28/40 or 70% for Intermediate courses and 35/50 or 70% for MALC.

Professional Membership
Professional Membership is open to professionals who have successfully completed the TIPA Assessor or TIPA Lead
Assessor certification exam. These individuals have demonstrated that they have developed the competencies and
skills necessary to use TIPA professionally, and want to continue to be engaged with the TIPA framework.
Any individual who becomes officially certified as an Assessor becomes automatically eligible for TIPA Professional
Membership. Upon successful certification, the individual will be invited to register as a TIPA Professional Member,
allowing them to license the TIPA toolbox and receive services such as recognition on the website and updates to the
latest updates of the toolbox and the framework.
Professional Membership Fee:
The professional membership fee covers the cost of the provision of membership and certification services. To
maintain the certification and ensure continued services, the membership has to be renewed annually.
Note: Professional members can perform TIPA assessments only within their own organizations. To offer TIPA
assessment services externally, the organizations have to license TIPA for commercial use, i.e., become an
Organizational Member.

Organizational Membership

The TIPA consulting use license is designed to recognize and support organizations that wish to use the TIPA
framework for commercial purposes. Examples of consulting use licensees are consulting firms, IT Service Providers
and software development firms.
Membership allows an organization to benefit from the widespread adoption of TIPA. Licensees are organizations that
plan to make available a commercial offering based on the TIPA framework or plan to use TIPA in the development of
a commercial offering. A commercial offering typically takes form as a service (assessment/consultation).
For an organization to be able to apply for a consulting use license and offer a commercial service/product,
which includes the TIPA framework, the organization must employ at least one TIPA Lead Assessor. Organizational
Membership belongs to the organization (as opposed to Professional Membership, which belongs to a certified
individual) and can be retained by the organization as reassignments occur.

The single product use license enables an organization to become the official product licensee of TIPA. This license
allows the licensee to develop a single product/software/tool aligned with TIPA for ITIL. This license allows the
software company to:
Deploy/integrate the developed tool in unlimited organizations for a period of one year
Access to inputs from the core TIPA team at agreed support rates during development/deployment phase
Right to use the TIPA trademark and logo for commercial purposes
License to use the TIPA in the software environment (including Process Assessment Model, Toolbox) and access to
TIPA material updates

The Metricus Team

Measure What Matters

As seasoned IT professionals, the team members have struggled with the same reporting and measurement issues
that plague IT process owners, IT managers, and CIOs. The problems include:
Promises from Business Intelligence (BI) vendors that never transpire.
Commitments from internal reporting teams that inevitably focus on non-IT priorities.
Promises by enterprise IT vendors of dashboards and scorecards that show few results.
Resources spending 10-20% of their time on extracting data into spreadsheets, manipulating graphs and tables,
and then pasting them into slide shows.
Measuring best-practice IT Service Management (ITSM) methodologies, such as ITIL and COBIT.
Storage of historical data for trend analysis.
Measuring how youre performing against your peers.

The journey to successful IT performance measurement starts with understanding what to measure. Metricus
provides IT Performance Metrics Metadata, representing the detailed definition of over 600 tangible and pragmatic IT
performance metrics. Utilities are provided to allow the selection of metrics that really matter to your IT organization.
For example, the important metrics to measure ITIL, metrics for a Green IT scorecard, metrics to measure cloud
benefits/performance, or the right metrics for your IT Balanced Scorecard.

To address these challenges, we have developed an application framework in the cloud, combining bestpractice BI,
performance measurement, reporting and collaboration technologies with subject matter expertise, and extensive
experience in the delivery of IT measurement and reporting solutions. The net result is what the cloud is all aboutnot
just a product or technology but a cost-effective application specific to your IT measurement and reporting
requirements.

To complement the IT Performance Metrics Metadata, Metricus provides role and processbased scorecards,
dashboards, and reports for unparalleled insight into your IT organizations performance.
These tools have been developed after considering:
The specific needs of CIOs, IT managers, team leaders, and business stakeholders
Best-practice ITSM methodologies, including ITIL and COBIT
International standards, such as ISO/IEC 20000, ISO/IEC 27001, and ISO/IEC 38500
Feedback and input by industry-leading ITSM experts and organizations
Role-based perspectives provide specific dashboards and scorecards for key metrics directly related to an individuals
job role. Process-based perspectives deliver in-depth insight into process performance, conformance, and compliance,
which in turn, provides valuable input into ITSM improvement programs.

Key Features
Detailed definition of over 600 tangible and pragmatic IT performance metrics.
Comprehensive suite of IT performance scorecards, dashboards, and reports based on best practices and practical
role and processbased usage scenarios.
Data integration packages available for commonly used cloud and enterprise IT systems, e.g., BMC Remedy, CA
Unicenter, Microsoft System Center, Vivantio and ServiceNow.
Ability to integrate data from multiple heterogeneous IT and non-IT data sources, enabling consolidation and
centralization of data related to IT performance, i.e., a single version of the truth.
Elimination of the plethora of spreadsheets and slideshows that normally represent IT performance reports.

unstructured data input, e.g., XLS files.
Self-service report, scorecard, and dashboard design/development.
Extensive subscription and publication capabilities.

Targeted Visualization for Analyzing IT Performance


Metricus understands the unique characteristics of IT data and that different users require different forms
of visualization based on their roles and responsibilities. For example:

www.itpreneurs.com

321

The CIO requires a scorecard that tracks actual vs. targets for metrics, such as IT service availability, customer
satisfaction, budget variance, and security/risk compliance.
The Help Desk requires a dashboard to provide a snap shot of current activity.
The Change Management Process Manager requires a daily report providing details of open changes.
An Incident Management Analyst wants to drill through, using analytic charts and decomposition trees, into the
incidents created last month to understand why first-level resolution decreased.
What types of incidents were not resolved? What groups were involved? Is training an issue?
The ability to provide your IT organization with targeted visualization based on the roles and responsibilities of endusers is what makes Metricus so much more than simply a generic BI or reporting tool.

Metricus for Remedy is a pre-configured out-of-the box


integration of Metricus for BMC Remedy ITSM installations.

Extending Measurement of IT Through a Powerful


Collaboration Platform
The Metricus IT Performance Measurement application is built on the
Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise architecture. This is a key differentiator
