IT Infrastructure Library® (ITIL®)
The IT Infrastructure Library® (ITIL®) is a tried and tested framework for organising IT service processes and a best practice approach with which IT processes can be continuously checked and optimised. This also leads to further advantages such as reduced costs, improved quality and customer satisfaction.
Standards such as ITIL®, CobiT or ISO 20000 describe processes on a general and abstract level or state basic criteria which are to be tested during certification. Standards themselves do not provide sufficient advice on how the required structures should be best implemented in a particular organisation. This is what MATERNA contributes towards adding value for their customers by using the “Service Excellence” consulting method.
With the experience gained in more than 500 IT Service Management projects, MATERNA has established itself as a skilled partner for ITIL®-compliant consulting and implementation of IT Service Management processes and technologies. We can support you with adaptations to your specific requirements. Our IT Service Management services start by analysing your IT service processes with regard to ITIL® compliance. MATERNA also advises on and designs optimised service processes and implements the IT Service Management solutions compliant to ITIL®.

ITIL® Version 3
With ITIL® Version 3, the framework has undergone complete reorganisation as it looks more closely at the really fundamental topic for IT: the IT services. The element which gives it structure is the service lifecycle. ITIL® thus breaks with the focus on processes in the previous version and puts services at the focal point. Instead of the nine ITIL® books there are now five core publications which follow the development of services: Service Strategy, Service Design, Service Transition, Service Operation and Continual Service Improvement.
Almost no changes were worked in on the process side. Organisations which have already introduced ITIL® do not have to start again from scratch. IT line managers with ITIL® V2 still have a sustainable basis for ITIL® V3 with which they can provide the best possible IT services.
