Businesses today face many challenges, including inconsistent IT services, rising operational costs, inability to adapt to changing business needs and delays in service delivery. Unplanned and non-standard IT processes negatively affect both user satisfaction and business efficiency. This is where ITIL 4 comes into play: ITIL 4 adopts an adaptable, customizable and flexible approach to ITSM, enabling it to respond effectively to changing needs. By providing a structured and up-to-date approach to IT service management, it standardizes processes, improves service quality and enables a more agile response to changing business dynamics. In this way, organizations not only solve current operational problems, but also become better prepared for future growth and change.
The Harmony of ITIL 4 and ITSM in Digital Transformation Process
Different from the traditional service lifecycle model, ITIL 4 provides a structured value system for IT service management.
ITIL 4;
- Was harmonized with modern working methods such as Agile, DevOps and Lean.
- The concept of “Service Value System” (SVS) was introduced.
- Instead of processes, there is now the concept of “practices”, offering a more flexible structure.
- It offers organizations a cultural transformation, not just a procedure.
This current framework is built around a value system called the Service Value System, which is a model in which each step involves the activities and processes necessary to generate value. It describes how organizations add value to their business objectives through service and addresses service management in four main dimensions:
- Organizations and people
- Information and technology
- Business partners and suppliers
- Value streams and processes
At the center of this system is the Service Value Chain, which covers the entire process of services from idea to value creation.
ITIL 4 components such as Service Value System and Service Value Chain enable faster and more effective delivery of services.
Benefits of ITSM and ITIL 4 Compliance for Organizations
ITIL 4 makes significant contributions to ITSM (Information Technology Service Management) processes. The modern approaches offered by ITIL 4 provide an effective framework for improving the efficiency of processes and generating better value.
When implemented correctly, this structure provides many advantages to organizations:
- It provides stronger goal coordination between IT departments and business units. ITIL 4 emphasizes that all processes within the Service Value System interact with each other and should work under a single roof. This approach helps the organization to make different ITSM processes more efficient and harmonized by running them together.
- ITIL 4 makes customer value the most important goal in all stages of ITSM processes. The focus is not only on the technical dimension of services, but also on the value it provides to customer and business goals.
- Reduces operational costs through more efficient resource utilization. Continuous Improvement (CI) ensures optimization at every stage of ITSM processes.
- Makes IT costs and asset management more visible.
- Principles such as “Focus on value”, “Start where you are”, “Progress iteratively with feedback” facilitate decision making and process development in ITSM processes.
- It provides a flexible service environment that can easily adapt to change.
- ITIL 4 aims to increase customer satisfaction by emphasizing customer experience. In ITSM processes such as Incident Management and Service Request Management, customer feedback is continuously evaluated and improvement is ensured.
On the other hand, the innovations of the digital age – artificial intelligence, cloud computing, agile service management approaches and automation – are transforming IT services, enabling businesses to be more agile, efficient and customer-centric in their digital transformation processes.
In this dynamic environment, ITIL 4 contributes not only to improving processes but also to creating flexible and sustainable IT service environments that are fully aligned with business objectives.
