Today, IT is increasingly critical to meeting strategic business goals. As a result, IT organizations are turning to industry-recognized process frameworks to improve IT/business alignment and enhance service delivery. The IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is the only consistent, comprehensive documentation of best practice for IT service management. It is fast becoming the standard model for leading IT organizations.

When implemented correctly, ITIL helps IT departments improve quality of service, including: increased availability; faster problem resolution; better security; and increased customer satisfaction.

ITIL defines a broad range of processes that are considered best practices, including:

  • Incident management
  • Change management
  • Problem management
  • Service-level management
  • Continuity management
  • Configuration management
  • Release management
  • Capacity management
  • Availability management
  • Financial management
  • Security management
  • Help desk management


ITIL provides critical structure and process around the practice of IT Operations, allowing it to function like a well-oiled machine.

Data Return has implemented the ITIL framework across its operations, ensuring consistent, high-quality service based on proven standards and process. The company requires ITIL Service Management certification for its entire senior management team and all operations management personnel.
