IT Service Catalog -- The Technical vs. Business Debate

LONDON--(Marketwire - Oct 17, 2012) -

Since the launch of ITIL V3 some 5 years ago, the Service Catalog has emerged as a high-value win for both the business and the IT organization. However, there's still much debate and general uncertainty around what a Service Catalog actually is, what it should contain, and exactly what value it has to offer. Taking ITIL Service Catalog education and theory into a real-life practical adoption is often a huge barrier for many IT organizations.

Rob England, the IT Skeptic and Angus Gregory, the CEO of Biomni will discuss strategies and approaches to ITIL that can help organizations through the uncertainty and offer practical advice on Service Catalog adoption.
