Information Technology Infrastructure Library

ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) has been around since 1986 and with the collaboration of both public and private sectors it has grown into a very robust framework of best practices for identifying, planning, delivering and supporting IT services.

The ITIL framework follows a Service Value System approach to IT services.

Some of the key benefits of adopting the ITIL framework are:

1 Better Reliability and Quality of Service

• The ITIL framework allows organisations to improve availability, reliability and security of critical IT services, this is achieved by implementing standards that are proven to work. Once these are in place then service providers and support staff can more easily

• 1. deliver services consistently,
  2. restore service and reduce downtime.
  3. provide faster and more flexible service delivery practices to support digital transformation. This improves efficiency and effectiveness.

2 Improved Customer Satisfaction and Service Delivery

The ITIL Framework allows for reliable and available services to customers, by focusing on the customer’s needs and user experiences.  This leads to an increase in customer satisfaction and in turn a more trusted relationship will develop. There are 4 key Dimensions in any organisation:

1. organisation and people,
2. partners and suppliers,
3. value streams and processes
4. information

By using ITIL it allows organisations to align IT and the business strategy. Organisations can deliver value to the customer.

3 Reduce Costs

ITIL allows organisations to reduce support costs significantly. With the investment in 1^st level support with knowledge transfer through Problem management there is an increase in the calls that are closed and the need to call in 2^nd level support is greatly reduced. There is an improved root cause analysis leading to improved resource utilisation.

4 Better Management of Business Risk and Service Disruption

ITIL allows for better management of business risk and service disruption by detecting and eliminating problems before they become a major issue and minimize the impact of incidents that cannot be prevented.
