Some of the advantages of ITIL over other frameworks for IT services

• ITIL is publicly available and maintained

  • An organization doesn't have to pay a high priced consulting firm to use its methodology
    

   

• ITIL is constantly evolving based on shared best practices

  • Conferences, working sessions, and working groups lead to constant refinement and improvement of the consensus best practices.  ITIL will never get stale!
    

   

• ITIL has been adopted enthusiastically across the world

  • New adopters of ITIL have the confidence of knowing that these principles have been tried and tested all over the globe, in myriad types of environments.  Someone, somewhere was in the same type of the organization, facing the same types of problems, and used ITIL to help solve them.
    

   

• Many of the most popular tools and applications have been built around ITIL. 

  • The processes and the applications will fit hand-in-glove. 
    

   

• Experienced experts are readily available (such as Holmes and Associates, Inc.)

  • Remove the risk from new implementation
