What is ITIL® and why do you need it?

ITIL® (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) is by far the most widely used method for IT service management. It offers best practices for the efficient and effective provision of IT services.

By obtaining the certification, you will gain a deep understanding of the ITIL® framework. The guide consists of a collection of concrete recommendations and best practices that you can use to set up IT services. The aim is to establish IT operations that are as uniform, predictable and customer-oriented as possible.

With the current version ITIL® 4, agile working methods have also arrived in IT service management. The focus is now increasingly on the importance of collaboration and the added value that the individual services should deliver. Instead of processes and rigid rules, you are dealing here with practices and their situational application.

ITIL skills are helpful: they support the development and improvement of digital processes and services. Service processes outside of IT are now also increasingly being set up according to ITIL®, for example in HR or facility departments.

ITIL® (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) is by far the most widely used method for IT service management.

Transparent processes, better collaboration, higher service quality - professional IT service management has many advantages. Companies want to reduce costs and become more efficient at the same time.

What is IT service management (ITSM)?

More and more processes in companies are being digitized. The IT department no longer just provides hardware and software, but increasingly also supports important business processes. IT uses standardized procedures to manage services internally and externally. This is done as part of IT service management (ITSM).

Transparent processes, better collaboration, higher service quality - professional IT service management has many advantages. This enables companies to reduce costs and become more efficient at the same time.

While in project management you implement temporary projects, in IT service management you deal with services that have to be provided on a continuous basis. Teams work together in every phase of an IT service - from service strategy to service operation and service improvement. They use various techniques and tools to do this.

You structure and improve processes on the basis of classic ITSM. This not only contributes directly to process optimization. You also ensure that your company becomes more efficient and can continue to compete in the future.
