PinkVERIFY™ certifies ITIL® compliance for tool features
"IT service management" is an activity that regards information systems as "IT services from the perspective of system users" and manages the stable provision and continuous improvement of such IT services. ITIL® is a global guideline that systematizes successful cases of IT service management. Although ITIL® originated in the United Kingdom, its importance has been recognized in Japan since around 2003, and efforts in IT service management have become widespread among companies that build and operate information systems.
ITIL® continues to be updated as the environment and technology surrounding information systems change, and the latest version is ITIL 4, released in 2019. ITIL 4 focuses on "IT service value" and requires comprehensive management of organization, technology, and operations, among other things.
PinkVERIFY™ is a long-running certification system provided by Pink Elephant since 1998 that certifies that IT service management tools are outfitted with the features that enable ITIL®. Currently, there are eight ITIL 4 certified products in the world, but Senju/SM is the first made in Japan to be certified.
