Three Reasons Why ITIL is Important
ITIL has been a staple of the IT world for over two decades, and it will continue to be so. This blog takes three examples of big issues currently faced by companies-how ITIL can help them with their problems.
I was reading an article about how someone thinks that “ITIL’s” death occurred because there are new methods coming out making it irrelevant in today’s society; however, this isn’t true at all since many people still use or refer back towards its procedures when solving larger-scale software development projects which demonstrates how much importance is placed upon these processes even though they might not always work perfectly straight away due to changes within project needs.
1. ITIL can solve issues that impact productivity
What if the UK was facing a productivity crisis? It’s costing companies over £35 billion every year, and IT lies at its root. A report from Managed 24/7 found three common problems with current technology usage:
IT issues related to data management (ease of use) -Insufficient capacity for employees working remotely due to lack of physical presence within office space or not enough desktops provided within business continuity plan.
- Slow-running systems and equipment (65%)
- Connection failures (54%)
- Outdated software (32%)
ITIL helps service desks take a proactive approach to problem-solving. Through Incident Management and Problem Management teams can stop problems before they escalate, with minimal disruption of important daily operations.
2. ITIL can equip businesses for digital transformation
Businesses are always on the lookout for new ways to stay competitive, and that includes embracing technology. The integration of business operations with their IT departments can be a key element in digital transformation efforts, but it’s not enough by itself—effective leaders know they must also understand how technologies like blockchain will revolutionize future industries.
There is no mistaking why businesses need efficient technological systems: efficiency means more profits at higher rates while lessening costs through automation or cutting jobs; innovation brings about better products quicker than ever before which improves customer experience exponentially along each stage (from ideation phase all way up until production).
The role of IT service management is set to become increasingly important, as CEOs look to digitize their business. As such it can be scaled according to the needs and requirements for best help companies across industries become more fully integrated into an automated workflow pipeline from start to finish – regardless if you are a medical facility or manufacturing plant!
The days of standing still are over for companies trying to succeed. ITIL teaches organizations that success doesn’t come through stagnation; it means staying ahead and adapting to new innovations, like Continual Service Improvement (CSI).
3. ITIL can help companies fend off cybersecurity threats
The cost of cybercrime is projected to exceed $6 trillion annually, with a recent report estimating that this will double since 2015.
Cybercriminals are destroying lives and wreaking havoc on society as they steal personal information such as passwords or credit card details which lead them into other unpleasant situations like identity theft; these numbers don’t include how much money organizations lose due to illegal activity conducted through their networks – an amount too high even for some experts’ estimations!
ITIL is a proven way for organizations of all sizes to better protect their assets. Without understanding how IT services are interconnected, it becomes difficult or impossible to implement security measures that go beyond isolated incidents without compromising other aspects like daily business operations and data privacy/security which could lead one down an unhealthy path with negative consequences.
Understanding the relationships between various pieces within your organization can help identify vulnerabilities in critical processes before they become major problems.
In the midst of digital transformation and IT integration, it’s clear to see why ITIL certification is still highly influential. In fact, this will boost your employment prospects as well as connect you with a global community of dedicated professionals who share similar interests in striving for stellar standards both inside their industry or profession – but also outside.
Why is ITIL so successful?
1.Vendor- neutral
Vendor neutrality is a business and design approach that aims to ensure broad compatibility, interchangeability of products.
2. Non – prescriptive
The ITIL framework has been beneficial for a wide range of service associations from small to large organizations. It is helpful not just internally but also externally with inward and outward suppliers, as well as private clients in both public or specialized conditions.
3. Best practice
The ITIL framework speaks volumes about the world’s best-in-class specialists who have coexisted for generations to help others.
