This IDC study examines how ITIL processes map to specific IDC system infrastructure software markets. This mapping offers a convenient method to model acquisitions in the markets that form parts of ITIL-based solutions. This helps IT vendors that need to partner or acquire the right mix of software to create a solution, as well as IT departments that need functionality to manage their internal environments.
"Having the right mix of solutions will be critical for organizations to meet rising internal and external demands for process-based management," said Fred Broussard, research manager, Enterprise System Management Research at IDC.
