ITIL® Version 3

Capability & Maturity Assessment


IT organizations can benefit by adopting proven processes that incorporate industry best practices from the ISO/IEC 20000 requirements and guidelines to promote consistent and reliable methods to support mission-critical applications.


The goal of the ITIL® Version 3 Capability & Maturity Assessment is to review and evaluate the operational effectiveness of the IT infrastructure service management processes by focusing on scope of service, availability, efficiency, and compliance as defined by ISO/IEC 20000.

Actionable recommendations will offer the organization a framework to develop a long term IT service management program that will integrate all portions of the IT service management processes to align IT and business goals. Recommendations are based in part on generally accepted international standards and best practices such as ISO/IEC 20000, IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL® ), CobiT, ISO 9000, ISO/IEC 27001 and other best practice frameworks.
