IT Service Management (ITSM) might seem complicated at first, but it’s
actually pretty simple. You’ve probably provided ITSM services in the
form of an IT service desk or help desk. In this context, you may have
answered questions about why the internet is slow, how to connect to a
VPN remotely, or where to process a request for a new laptop. You may
have also participated in a change advisory board to approve a major
systems upgrade. Each of these examples align to ITSM.
Service management systems are typically based on ITIL®, an integrated,
process-based framework used by IT for tracking, delivering, and
managing technical services on behalf of an enterprise. Incident,
problem, and change management are the most commonly adopted ITIL
practices, with self-service and a service catalog also frequently implemented.

availability of services, fulfill service requests, and streamline
service continuity. High-performing ITSM services mapped to ITIL
processes help keep employees happy and productive, while ensuring IT
infrastructure is aligned to the needs of the business.
