How ITIL helps in digitalization?

• The chemistry of digital business may be energised or destroyed by how organisations design, provide, and maintain IT services. ITIL's concepts and best practices modify them as the business expands or changes its focus, aligning IT department expenditures and activities with those demands.

How can ITIL certification help companies?

• An ITIL certified employee will be able to adapt the ITIL framework to the company's way of operating. This would result in an accurate framework tailored for the company, saving the company tons of money and time as well. A certified ITIL employee will be able to oversee the other employees in the company and can be the point person for both stakeholders and customers when a project is being developed.

Which ITIL Process Makes Organizations Aware of Emerging and Changing Technology?

• Capacity management ensures that businesses are informed about new technologies as well as modifications and improvements to the technology they already have. It is a discipline that ensures and examines if IT infrastructures are given at the ideal time, in the ideal quantity, and at the ideal cost for maximum effectiveness.
