itil books

ITIL Books has become a subject in its own right.

Current ITIL Books

The actual original material of ITIL such as the Service Delivery Set, the Service Support set, Security Management, ICT Infrastructure Management, Applications Management, Planning to Implement Service Management and The Business Perspective form the current ITIL Books as a library and are published by the Stationery Office in the UK . These also come on CDROM.

There are also some ITIL Books that form part of the original library, that although are at this stage not being rewritten are still relevant, such as the Managers set and Complimentary guidance.

Consistent Approach

ITIL is the only consistent and comprehensive documentation of best practice for IT Service Management. Used by many hundreds of organizations around the world, a whole ITIL philosophy has grown up around the guidance contained within the ITIL books.

ITIL has been developed in recognition of organizations’ growing dependency on IT and embodies best practices for IT Service Management.

The ethos behind the development of ITIL is the recognition that organizations are becoming increasingly dependent on IT in order to satisfy their corporate aims and meet their business needs, this leads to an increased requirement for high quality IT services.

ITIL provides the foundation for quality IT Service Management. The widespread adoption of the ITIL guidance has encouraged organizations worldwide, both commercial and non-proprietary, to develop supporting products as part of a shared ‘ITIL Philosophy’.

OGC, BS 15000 series and the Future

OGC worked closely with BSI and itSMF in rewriting the ITIL books in order that the BSI Management Overview (PD0005), BS15000-1 (Specification for service management), BS15000-2 (Code of practice for service management) and the ITIL series form part of the same logical structure. The BSI Management Overview serves as a management introduction to the detailed guidance in ITIL, and correspondingly, the individual ITIL books offer expanded information and guidance on the subjects addressed in within BS15000.
