Service Management

IT service management (ITSM) is how IT teams manage the end-to-end delivery of IT services to customers. This service includes all the processes and activities to design, create, deliver and maintain IT services. ITSM is hugely beneficial to businesses as it allows them to manage change effectively by focusing on standardised, repeatable, and accountable processes. This can result in increased staff productivity, reduced risk, and potentially higher customer satisfaction rate.

Organisations around the world use the ITIL framework to improve the way they serve customers and internal teams. It is an adaptable and flexible framework for creating, designing, managing, and continually improving digitally enabled products and services. By taking the ITIL course, you gain a practical skill that’s valued in a wide range of industries.

Service Management courses for IT managers and business professionals

When you’re looking to improve your service management skills, ITIL training is the gold standard. ITIL 4 is an adaptable and flexible framework for creating, designing, managing, and continually improving digitally enabled products and services.

However, ITIL 4 is not solely used in IT; it equips you to improve service delivery across multiple departments in your organisation. It is particularly useful in a customer-service-based management system, as it helps organisations manage risk, improve customer and user experience, drive business strategy, embrace digital transformation and enable business change.

Accordingly, ITIL certifications are a great choice for IT professionals, businesspeople, operations professionals, graduates, and executives. ITIL qualifications are valued in a wide range of industries, from IT to healthcare to finance.
