ITIL v3: Five Ways to Make it Work For You

April 17, 2008

As ITIL has evolved, a variety of IT vendors have developed tools that support its premises. Sheri Cassidy at Progress Energy hails the better integration of topics in v3, and she says that's aided by a similar advance in support tools. She says the company in August will begin using Service-now.com, a Web-based utility that supports ITIL v3 practices. "It has much more integration between different [ITIL] processes," she says. "You could be in problem management but want to update a change ticket, and it's very seamless." In fact, Cassidy challenges the mantra that companies going into ITIL should get their processes down pat before looking for tools that fit those processes. "We got into ITIL, and by our third year we realized that our tools were not allowing us to do some of the things we wanted to do," she says. "In hindsight, we could have made much faster progress had we had better tools."

McKinsey says buy SaaS

May 3, 2007

Service-now.com: SaaS vendor delivering ITIL process help

February 14, 2007

Half the battle with properly managing IT infrastructure and applications is adhering to best practices. The other half? Putting technology in place to automate, monitor and speed problem resolution.  Service-now.com seems to have based its business on the premise that IT shops needs as much help with processes as they do technology. The start-up's business and technology model proves that the vendor falls clearly in the camp that technology without best practices will ultimately fail.

We've had enough of the birds,” said Luddy, 52, who co-founded the company known as Service-now.com with his 41-year-old brother, Rob, who had also worked at Peregrine.
