Background
IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL®) is a collection of Best Practices for the management and delivery of IT services and IT infrastructure. Because of decades of constant revision, these Best Practices have become a de-facto standard for the IT departments of all types of organizations. These Best Practices cover key Service Management processes, such as Incident Management, Problem Management, Release Management, Change Management, Service Level Management, Financial Management, Service Continuity Management, and Availability and Capacity Management. ITIL® also recommends the concept of a Service Desk that is designed to improve the function of the conventional Help Desk. The core ITIL® guidelines are currently available in a series of eight books.
ITpreneurs’ ITIL® courses take an intensive, IT Process Competence training solutions approach.
