ITIL Enablement

The Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is a customizable framework of best practices designed to promote quality service delivery in the IT sector. ITIL provides a systematic approach to the provisioning and management of IT services, from strategic development through design, initial implementation, operation, and continual improvement. ITIL processes are supplier- and platform-independent and apply to all aspects of IT infrastructure.

IT Operations and Security Challenges with ITIL

Many IT organizations lack the visibility required to fully plan for and implement an ITIL initiative. Asset management products are often deployed in partitioned ways, so that achieving a single view into the enterprise remains elusive. Additionally, networks are under constant change. With roaming devices joining and leaving the network, it's virtually impossible to keep track of devices in real-time, with certainty and accuracy about what applications are running on them and how they are configured. Without an accurate asset baseline, it becomes a huge challenge to effectively measure IT service efficiencies across the seven core areas of ITIL.
