Benefits of ITIL® Certification Training

ITIL® is the industry standard for practicing IT Service Management. It defines how IT service managers identify, plan, deliver and support IT services within a business. ITIL puts the focus of those in IT services on the needs of the enterprise. The goal is to guide organizations on best practices for utilizing information technology to manage change, transformation and growth.

At the core of ITIL reside five publications that map the entire ITIL service lifecycle, starting with understanding customer needs and the primary drivers of requirements through design and implementation and on to a monitoring and improvement stage.

Businesses need ITIL in order to reduce costs, improve IT services, improve customer satisfaction with IT services, improve productivity, leverage the skills and experience of staff and improve the delivery of third party service. Examples of companies that have adopted and benefited from ITIL include Microsoft, HP, IBM, Target, Wal-Mart, Staples, CitiBank of America, Barclay's Bank, Sony, Disney, Boeing and Toyota.

Individuals need ITIL in order to demonstrate value above and beyond the day-to-day contributions.
