Basically it is a set of practices for IT service management that focuses on aligning IT services with the needs of business. ITIL describes procedures, tasks and checklists that are not organization-specific, used by an organization for establishing a minimum level of competency. It allows the organization to establish a baseline from which it can plan, implement, and measure. It is used to demonstrate compliance and to measure improvement (Wipikedia). The most important advantage is definition of a standardized language. All team members and even our customers will be using the same language and misunderstandings will thus be minimized.<\/p>\n<h3>Consequences for ITS<\/h3>\n<p>Standardized language means better communication. Many already existing IT processes can subsequently be improved. Our IT services will be more precise, reliable and controllable.<\/p>\n<h3>Implementing ITIL<\/h3>\n<p>Reproduce a successful process and tweak it to make the result even better. Creativity is possible and even desired. In ITIL this is called \u00abContinual Improvement\u00bb.<\/p>\n<h3>ISO 20000<\/h3>\n<p>ISO 20000 is an internationally recognized IT-Service-Management standard, defining the requirements for professional delivery of IT managed services. The standard has also been adopted by the<strong> Swiss Association for Standardization (SNV)<\/strong>. ETH is the first Swiss university to have its IT Services \u00abISO\/IEC 20000\u00bb certified. The Network Security Group (NSG), ITS ICT-Networks, is also ISO 27000 certified.<\/p>\n<h3>Information and Ideas<\/h3>\n<p>For more information and to put forth any ideas or suggestions contact the Quality Manager.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Contact<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Dieter Gut<br \/>\nITS Management<br \/>\nQuality and Process Management<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The English translation above is an abbreviated version.
