Information Technology management has evolved significantly over the past years. IT services become ever more critical to the functioning of businesses and organizations. Higher levels of service and increased reliability are demanded, while the underlying infrastructures grow more interconnected and complex. Technical solutions can only be part of the answer to these challenges. IT organizations need to better align themselves with the business and to improve and develop organizational management service management capabilities.
There are various standards and frameworks for IT Service Management and IT Governance ? ITIL, COBIT, FitSM, eTOM and ISO/IEC 20000 among others ? that provide guidance for these tasks. Their application however, is seldom straightforward and many relevant practical as well as conceptual topics remain uncovered.
