Speaking at itSMF Fusion, Richard Pharro, CEO, APM Group said: "We are delighted to launch the ITIL software scheme while we are here in Dallas. We can now confirm that we have a second contracted software assessor so the vendor community has choice in having their products assessed. This means we are able to formally launch the scheme as we have met our requirements for a competitive and open market in the delivery of the assessment services."
The new ITIL software endorsement scheme allows software tool vendors to submit their ITIL based software tools for assessment to a Licensed Software Assessor. Successful recommendations entitle tool vendors to use the official Process Compliant ITIL Swirl logo.
