More efficiency and productivity through IT Service Management

ITSM is at the heart of enterprise modernization. With the increasing availability of software-enabled services, IT service teams can deliver value faster to employees and teams across the enterprise.

Get started!

IT service management - often referred to as ITSM - is simply how IT teams manage the end-to-end delivery of IT services to customers.

This includes all the processes and activities to design, create, deliver, and support IT services.

The core concept of ITSM is the belief that IT should be delivered as a service. A typical ITSM scenario could involve asking for new hardware like a laptop or request access for a business application.

You would submit your request through a portal, filling out a ticket with all relevant information, and kicking off a repeatable workflow.

Then, the ticket would land in the IT team’s queue, where incoming requests are sorted and addressed according to importance.

ITSM vs ITIL vs DevOps

IT teams leverage a variety of frameworks to guide their work. The most common ones we hear about are ITSM and DevOps, though there are numerous other concepts, like COBIT, SIAM, IT4IT, lean, and the list continues...

So what abbreviations do you need to know? Here we’ll cover two of the most influential frameworks for modern IT teams-- ITSM and DevOps-- along with a common approach to ITSM

ITSM

IT Service Management is simply how IT teams manage the delivery of IT services to customers. A team’s approach to ITSM can be structured to align with ITIL practices and influenced by DevOps concepts.

ITIL

ITIL is the most widely accepted approach to ITSM. ITIL focuses on practices for aligning IT services with business needs. ITIL can help organizations adapt to ongoing transformation and scale. ITIL 4, the recent update to ITIL standards, represents a paradigm shift for IT teams. It guides teams to a holistic, business and customer-value frame of reference, and encourages a more flexible approach based on how your team works.

DevOps

DevOps emphasizes accelerated IT service delivery enabled by agile and lean practices. DevOps improves collaboration between development and IT operations teams, so organizations can build, test, and release software faster and more reliably. The promised benefits include increased trust, faster software releases, and the ability to solve critical issues quickly, and better management of unplanned work.
