It is now widely recognised that a company-wide standard IT incident, problem and change management processes based on the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL®) is highly desirable. A sample company that adopted ITIL® realised that the new processes provided users with improved incident data. In an overall context, improvements were made to the efficiency of the whole company. IT service management adoption has accelerated as IT operations move to meet or improve service level agreements. IT organisations are required to be more efficient and effective with less resources. .... 2010-03-19 11:57:00 http://esmi.ie/index.php/news_and_events/esmi_tender_award The Software Skillnet recently published a RFP to invite organisations to submit tenders for the delivery of a PRINCE2 Foundation certification programmes between January/March 2010.
