ITIL
ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) is a framework for IT service management authored and copyrighted by the United Kingdom's Office Of Government Commerce (OGC). It is experiencing broad and accelerating acceptance as a world-wide de-facto standard defining information realms, processes, roles, and metrics for IT services. It can play an important role in establishing a semantic model, i.e. a common vocabulary, for an enterprise needing to pull together branches of IT operations into a coherent operating unit. It does not dictate HOW it must be used or how many processes must be adopted; it is a toolkit and model that can save an organization from reinventing a complex wheel.
Requirements for success include: very strong support from enterprise management, willingness to change, and willingness to invest time and money in key management personnel and tools. It's our view that the methodology must include a space for analysis and implementation team members to work collaboratively. The primary result will be a set of information sources and business processes that allow Information Technology to support enterprise goals while controlling costs and ensuring quality.
