ASL ITIL
| ASL ITIL®
Let’s discuss ASL V/s ITIL® or popularly called ASL ITIL®. Application Service Library ( ASL ) offers a framework for application management that is based on the best practices of professionals with years of experience. The model is developed in such a way that it guarantees the optimal ICT support for business processes. In this way you can concentrate on the business core. ASL limits itself to the giving of guidelines for the organizing of processes, leaving the organizing of the business. By doing this, the framework is generally applicable within ICT services, independent to the size of your organization.
IN ASL ITIL®, where ITIL® has become a general acceptable standard to organize technical control, the Application Services Library offers a framework for the organization of application management. The primary objective of ITIL® Application Management is to provide sound best practice and practical guidance in application management from the perspective of service management principles.
In ASL ITIL®, ASL is a means to store knowledge and best practices on Application Services and in particular Application Management. The objective of ASL is to offer a reference model for application management which is based on best practices and is generally accepted by the world of ICT. The ASL standard is public domain and is maintained by the ASL Foundation. The ASL framework: · consists of application management processes · defines the processes and roles · describes the relationship between the processes · can be used in all variations of application management · is independent of organization type
The ASL Framework identifies services and applications as two basic areas which contain processes on a strategic, a tactical and an operational level. ASL focuses on application management processes. ITIL® AM focuses on the manageability aspects of applications.
In ASL ITIL®, ASL is the acronym for Application Services Library. It is a framework that comprises processes in the field of application management and describes the definitions of these processes and the relationships between them. A detailed description of the processes forms part of the library, contains ‘best practices’ and resources such as forms, checklists and model documents. The ASL framework can be used for all forms of application management, for outsourced ICT services, internal ICT services and all intermediate forms. The framework can serve as a guideline for the division of tasks. Each process has an accompanying description of roles. The ASL framework originates from an analysis of various knowledge domains related to ICT service, including ITIL® and CMM.
“ASL” is Application Services Library, the collection of best practice guidance for managing application development and maintenance. It is the public domain standard for application management, separate from the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL®), but linked to it in terms of adherence to standards for managing processes and providing a coherent, rigorous, public domain set of guidance. ASL defines process interfaces, the service team and its structure, and the application and introduction of ASL.
Where ITIL® (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) is a generally accepted standard for organizing technical management, the Application Services Library offers a framework for the organization of application management.
Where ITIL® (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) has become a generally accepted standard to organize services management processes in the domain of technical infrastructures, the Application Services Library (ASL) offers a framework for the organization of application management. ASL is based on the best practices of professionals with years of experience in the field of managing, maintaining and enhancing applications. The model is developed in such a way that it guarantees the optimal IT support for business processes. ASL limits itself to the giving of guidelines for the organizing of IT-processes, leaving the organizing of the business. By doing this, the framework is generally applicable within application services, independent to the size of your organization. ASL ITIL® can work together very well, because ASL was derived from ITIL® and the common processes (like incident management and service level management) are at a high level the same.
