ITIL and ISO/IEC 20000
What is ITIL?
Since its creation, ITIL has grown to become the most widely accepted approach to service management in the world. But what exactly is ITIL?
What is the ITIL Service Lifecycle?
To sustain high levels of business performance, organisations need to offer competitive products and services that customers will value, buy and use. Adapting quickly to changes in the economic climate and in the market place is of real importance. All services offered should enable business transformation and growth.

The Benefits of ITIL Training
ITIL is the world’s leading set of service management best practices. ITIL defines common terms, concepts and processes that organizations use world-wide.

What is ISO/IEC 20000?
ISO/IEC 20000 is the first international service management standard, a multi-part series of related documents. It defines the requirements for a service provider to deliver managed services of an acceptable quality for its customers. To achieve ISO/IEC 20000 certification, an organization needs to demonstrate that it uses management systems and practices in order to be compliant to the standard.
New Edition of ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011
ISO/IEC 20000-1 (Part 1) is the international standard for IT Service Management used to demonstrate the service management capability of a service provider. Since the first edition was published in 2005, many organizations around the world are now certified.

The Top 5 Benefits of Using ITIL
ITIL is the world’s leading framework of service management best practices. Many top performing organizations around the world are implementing ITIL practices. Why is this?
Benefits of Adopting ITIL for Service Operation
ITIL offers a common and widely accepted approach to managing business and IT services. ITIL best practices cover a service lifecycle in five core publications: Service Strategy, Service Design, Service Transition, Service Operation and Continual Service Improvement. ITIL provides access to world-class service management expertise, a comprehensive qualifications scheme, together with accredited training and consultancy.
Successfully Leading Virtual Teams
Very often in today’s business, managers, project leaders, and program leaders are asked to lead a team of people they have never met, may not ever see face to face or meet with regularly. As companies cut back on travel and organizations spread their operational capabilities across physical locations, cities, countries, and continents, it makes the complex task of leading virtual teams even more difficult.
Don't Throw Good Money at Bad Processes - How ITIL can help
As IT Service Management practitioners we all want to improve and streamline our Service Management Processes, but how? The sexy way is to implement “integrated” solutions from one or more vendors while putting our collective careers on the line by justifying large sums of cash to implement what seems like the ideal solution.
Capability Maturity & Process Assessment
Many organizations depend on IT for their core and critical business services. Being confident in a service provider’s capability to deliver IT services is therefore important for a range of strategic, tactical and operational activities. Higher levels of capability provide give greater confidence that an organization can deliver the desired business and IT services. Lower levels of capability may indicate potential sources of risk.
