Companies depend on IT services to support their business operations, and to meet the demands of their customers. ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) and ITSM (Information Technology Service Management) are frameworks to help organizations manage their IT services.

ITIL is a set of best practices for IT service management which emphasizes the alignment of IT with the needs of the business.

Both have their pros and cons, but which method is the right one for your business? Is ITIL still relevant in an era of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain and IoT? ‍
