Course Descriptions

Using the Business Process Framework (eTOM) to Realize ITIL

CalendarUpcoming Training Schedule



The Business Process Framework (eTOM) provides the user with a process model of the entire enterprise, which is complementary to the ITIL view of good practice in service management. Working jointly, itSMF and TM Forum have mapped how these two frameworks can work together, allowing ITIL good practice to be realised using the Business Process Framework process elements. This one day course explains the relationship and mappings, and how the two frameworks can co-exist within an enterprise solution, and how the strengths of each can work compatibly to produce an integrated approach. The course includes an opportunity to see how this works in practice, through interactive exercises.
