The Relationship Between ITIL and ITSM Taylor Karl / Monday, August 16, 2021 / Categories: Resources, Training Trends, ITIL 3075 0 If you are looking to improve the management of the IT services that you deliver to customers, you may be questioning the need for ITSM or ITIL, and whether you need one or the other. The relationship between the two is quite simple. IT Service Management (ITSM) pertains to the management of the IT services you deliver to your customers. ITIL is a popular framework for ITSM. Adopting the ITIL framework can drastically improve the IT Service Management practices for your organization. Let’s take a closer look. ITSM ITSM is an acronym standing for Information Technology Service Management. It is fundamentally a set of best practices that define exactly what an IT service organization should be doing for its customers. This includes designing solutions, deploying them, operating, and managing them, and monitoring their performance. Because it is focused on IT many people assume that it is a technology-focused discipline, but ITSM is more customer-focused with emphasis on customer satisfaction and task completion. Most people who use the term are referring to internal customers, and the goal of ITSM is to produce system solutions that yield real value to the organization. The increasing need for ITSM can be correlated directly with the evolution of IT itself. Originally, IT was seen as a necessary cost of doing business, meant to keep records and track various quotients. Over the past few decades, IT has grown to become a key strategy in achieving business advantage and value. For many businesses, IT performance serves as a key differentiator between them and their competitors. With ITSM defining what the servicing organization should be doing for customers, there’s an obvious need to explain how.
