What does ITIL stand for anyway?
ITIL is an acronym for ‘IT Infrastructure Library’, although you will not really read or hear anyone calling it that too often because ITIL has pretty much become a word in its own right. It’s worth remembering that ITIL is actually a set – or library – of books providing best practice guidance on how to design, build, implement and enhance IT Services. The origins of ITIL lie with the UK Government in the early nineties where ITIL was originally focussed more around leveraging Infrastructure best practices. Since then ITIL has evolved considerably and has been successfully adopted and adapted for best use within thousands of organizations worldwide.
