This set of publications provides the framework for grappling with the complex issues of delivering IT services and is the only consistent and comprehensive documentation of best practice for IT service management.

ITIL has pervaded many commercial and public organisations and is continuing to be updated and expanded to reflect developing philosophies and increasing experience. The Service Support and Service Delivery publications, in particular, cover the key service management processes, all of which are interrelated.

It might appear a daunting task to examine your own business in detail in the context of these processes, to identify the vital connections, and to design and implement the necessary procedures. Fortunately it does not all have to be done at once and most businesses will already have elements established and in operation. The itSMF organisation provides access to a network of experts, information sources and events to provide support.

For Computacenter, the concepts and methodologies of ITIL are integral to all the services that the company provides its customers.
