IT service management enterprises must focus on service
by adopting a business and systematic approach to managing
day-to-day operations. The underlying business processes
should support the technical competence and experience
of the enterprise. To achieve this objective, IT Infrastructure
Library (ITIL) was established as the standard framework
for IT Service Management enterprises that entailed
a comprehensive, consistent and coherent set of best
practices. Today, it is the most widely accepted IT-process
management framework in the world. ITIL describes the
processes needed to manage the IT infrastructure efficiently
and effectively in order to guarantee the service levels
agreed upon by the IT organization and its customers.
The diagram presented below gives an idea how ITIL processes
fit in and act as a conduit between strategic and operational
processes. |
