THE "hottest stuff" of IT management in Israel

site. The site serves all the (crazy?) Israelis who willing to improve
their IT department into "Service Oriented" department, according to
ITIL method. itSMF established to promote the
ITIL method among infrastructure professionals in the local IT
divisions.
The forum is where experts from various IT professions can meet and
share their experience and knowledge regard ITIL and other IT issues.
The founders of the forum put a target to provide the IT experts a
place where their ideas can be heard, broadcast and shared as well as
improve their professional skills. The local forum is a chapter of the
international organization and it also the bridge to the global itSMF.

What
ITIL / ITSM is?
The ITIL method was born in England on the 80's, during their
search for the "best way to operate IT". They spend significant effort
to learn from IT organizations all over the world, and they came with
few books of "Best Practice".
The method divides IT into 10 processes, which describes the way
IT should be performed. (like: Change Management, Release Management
etc.) - each of those processes is being performed by a member of a
team of experts in the organization. While using the ITIL method
each one of the processes can be specifically defined as well as the
relations between the processes.
The idea is how to move from "Technology Orientated" IT organization
into an IT which is aligned to the business and by that brings
effectiveness and efficiency to the business.
The process are recommended framework and each organization can apply
it, from only one process to the whole package.
