ITIL processes

IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is the foundation for achieving the goals of the BMC Remedy IT Service Management (BMC Remedy ITSM) applications.

ITIL provides the leading set of best practices for service management. It defines important business processes and provides a flexible well-designed framework that can be tailored to the specific needs of your organization.

ITIL defines a broad set of recommendations that explain effective ways to handle many aspects of IT support and delivery, including asset and configuration management, change management, release management, incident management, and problem management.

BMC Remedy ITSM automates standard ITIL processes out of the box. Extensive configuration options enable you to tailor the applications to the needs of your organization. The following table maps ITIL processes to BMC Remedy ITSM applications.

ITIL describes best practices at a high level. It provides guidance on steps to take, processes, and workflows. Organizations are then free to implement the work-level procedures for daily activities that apply to their requirements. The BMC Service Management Process Model  illustrates how ITIL processes map to work instructions performed in the BMC Remedy ITSM applications. Best Practice views of key forms help streamline work to ITIL best practices.
