The ITIL Process Map

A fresh approach to ITIL: The ITIL Process Map V3 is a 'translation' of ITIL V3 into legible, easy to read process maps in Visio and other process management platforms.

The ITIL process model explains how ITIL really works and does away with the need to sift through the ITIL V3 books with thousands of pages.

Benefits of using an ITIL Process Model

The ITIL Process Map has been widely accepted with many large – and small – organizations, leveraging our process model to implement ITIL faster and at lower cost, with less reliance on expensive consultants.

When using the ITIL Process Map, you will benefit in several ways:

The ITIL process model is easy to use and understand. It is thus ideally suited to overcome the single most important challenge at the beginning of any ITIL initiative: To give everyone in your IT organization a good understanding of ITIL.
The ITIL process templates are available in popular formats: Simply use the familiar office applications (Microsoft Visio and Excel) to manage your ITIL processes, or your favourite process management platform like ARIS or iGrafx.
The process diagrams are fully adaptable. This means you save effort during process design and documentation, as you modify existing process models - rather than starting with a blank page.
The ITIL process model, its document templates and the complementary project manual provide guidance on how to set up and carry out your implementation project.
