Strengthening IT Service Management with ITIL!
Digital transformation is not just a trend in today’s business world; it has become an inevitable necessity for businesses to achieve sustainable growth and gain a competitive advantage. As technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, automation, and data analytics rapidly evolve, companies must not only keep their IT services operational but also strategically align them with business objectives. In this context, ITIL—Information Technology Infrastructure Library—continues to play a critical role as one of the cornerstones of IT service management (ITSM) strategies.
ITIL 4, the latest version of ITIL, goes beyond traditional process-focused approaches to offer a modern, agile, and value-driven service management framework. ITIL 4 not only ensures the standardization of processes; it also enables businesses to generate service value and allows business units and IT teams to work in an integrated manner. This version emphasizes flexibility, scalability, agility, and adaptability throughout the IT service management process lifecycle.

The Importance of ITIL in IT Service Management in 2025
1. Bridging the Gap Between DevOps and Governance
Today, organizations must balance rapid innovation with security and compliance requirements. ITIL 4 enables this balance by aligning with DevOps, Agile, and Lean practices. In critical sectors such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing, ITIL provides an indispensable framework for creating an IT environment where speed does not compromise stability and security.
2. Holistic View with the Service Value System (SVS)
One of the most important innovations brought by ITIL 4 is the Service Value System (SVS) approach. This system unifies governance, applications, and continuous improvement processes under a single roof. This allows businesses to design flexible yet standardized service management practices and quickly adapt to changing business needs.
3. Promotes a Culture of Continuous Improvement
The principle of “achieving progress step by step through feedback” lies at the heart of ITIL. This approach enables teams to continuously learn and optimize their processes in real time. IT Service Management projects aim not only to solve problems but also to improve processes and services.
4. Customer-Focused Service Design
One of the fundamental goals of ITIL 4 is to focus on the XLA user experience and business value. With ITIL 4, every change, every incident, and every request is evaluated and implemented from the customer’s perspective. This approach provides high value not only technically but also in terms of business strategy.
