Category: IT Management
Overview This paper investigates Enterprise Management Associates (EMA's) finding on ITIL adoption, trends in ITIL practices, and a brief description of the market. It also discusses ITIL in the context of major shifts in IT practices, including Configuration Management DataBase (CMDBs), SOA and Service Catalogs. Next, the ITIL framework is explained with a discussion of how the Mercury ITIL Foundation compares to other vendor solutions.
