Overview

The Service Catalog is the recommended starting point for ITIL initiatives since it provides a high level definition of all the services that IT provides. Incorporate this ITIL best practice in your IT service management infrastructure and realize these benefits:

  • Begin the cultural shift from a system-oriented perspective to service-oriented perspective
  • Build an understanding within IT of how customers perceive the services offered by IT
  • Kick-start (or reinvigorate) the process for IT's creation and publication of it's Service Catalog
  • Create a foundation for the implementation all of the other ITIL/ITSM processes

This course is based on the best practice guidelines of the ITIL framework and is expanded through our extensive, practical experience in developing IT service catalogs. Learn the importance of an effective service catalog to overall IT Service Management (ITSM) activities and how to create one with the guidance of our experienced ITSM consulants.
