Benefits of Joining itSMF UK
The IT Service Management Forum (itSMF UK) is an independent, not-for-profit Organisation dedicated to the development and promotion of "best practice" in IT Service Management.
We provide an accessible network of industry experts, information sources and events to assist you (and your staff) address IT service management issues. We will continuously improve our products for our members by sustainably growing, actively seeking partnerships and collaborating with others.
IT Service Management is really just a common sense approach to providing an IT service; sometimes we struggle with implementing common sense and this is why a network of like-minded individuals is so important.
Another aspect of IT Service Management which can easily be overlooked is the people; people generally do not like change, so this can sometimes generate a culture shock; understanding this up front can make it much less painful. People can be the driving force, the lifeblood - that's why the itSMF UK is built on the quality of people.
