Security Management

Security Management explains the process of security management within IT service management. It focuses on the process of implementing security requirements identified in the IT Service Level Agreement rather than considering business issues of security policy. The publication was developed with consideration of the plans for consolidating and inter-linking the ITIL Version 2 Service Support and Service Delivery core guides.

Business Perspective

For IT to bring the greatest possible benefits to a business, IT practitioners must develop a deep understanding of their organisation's key principles and requirements. Issues covered in 'Business Perspective' include business continuity management, partnerships and outsourcing, surviving change, and transformation of business practices through radical change.

» Business Perspective Volume 1 helps information services personnel align their activities with the needs of the business in order to deliver the greatest benefits.
» Business Perspective Volume 2 shows how senior management can identify and then implement the right IT responses to a whole range of external factors; from legislation to the climate.

ICT Infrastructure Management

ICT Infrastructure Management covers Network Service Management, Operations Management, Management of Local Processors, Computer Installation and Acceptance and for the first time, Systems Management.

Software Asset Management

Software is one of the most critical elements of information and communications technologies and most organisations have huge investments in software, whether internally developed or external procured. However organisations often do not invest commensurate effort into managing these software assets. This guide has been developed to assist with understanding what Software Asset Management (SAM) is and to explain what is required to perform it effectively and efficiently as identified in industry 'best practice'.

ITIL V2 Small-Scale Implementation

Adapted to provide sound processes for small organisations, Small-Scale Implementation will help any organisation with a small resource base implement all the key elements of ITIL. At the same time, it will act as a starting point for larger organisations either those under budget constraints or those who have departmentalised ITIL implementations.
