At \u200dits\u2062 core, ITSM is a framework used \u2062by IT professionals\u200b for governing and managing IT\u2062 services. It\u200d is composed of best\u2063 practices, \u2063processes, and \u2063standards that supports an\u200c organization&#8217;s \u2064service initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>ITSM processes \u200cand concepts \u2062can be broken into two different models. \u200bThe \u2062first model is the Service Improvement \u2063Life\u2062 Cycle\u2062 (SILC) and \u2064the second is the\u200c Service \u200dOperation model.\u2062 The SILC model is \u2064a\u2064 continuous cycle of processes that are used \u200cto identify \u200careas \u2062of potential improvement, measure and monitor\u200c improvements, and take corrective action if necessary. The Service \u2063Operation model focuses \u2062on \u200cdelivering and managing services\u2062 throughout \u2063their lifecycle, \u2064from establishment to retirement. <\/p>\n<p>SILC and \u200dService\u2064 Operation are\u200d just two of the concepts that\u2063 compose \u2064the ITSM\u2063 framework. Other \u2062important\u2062 concepts and processes within ITSM are \u200bService Level Agreements (SLAs), \u200dincident management, and ITIL. SLAs are contracts used to ensure \u200dthat the services \u200bdelivered by IT professionals are delivered on\u2063 time and within the designated\u200b requirements. Incident management is the\u2064 proactive response and resolution \u2062of \u200dissues that \u200barise with IT \u200dservices. Finally, ITIL is\u2063 a\u2064 set of standards for ITSM, designed to ensure \u200cthat IT services are provided in a\u200d structured \u2064and \u200bconsistent manner.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3-unlock-the-benefits-of-it-service-management\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_%E2%81%A2Unlock_the%E2%80%8C_Benefits_of_IT%E2%81%A2_Service_Management\"><\/span>3) \u2062Unlock the\u200c Benefits of IT\u2062 Service Management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>IT Service Management (ITSM) Offers \u2064Big Benefits<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>IT\u200c Service Management is a process created to help businesses\u2064 maximize the\u200d value \u200cof IT services.
