As of January 2009, the complete set of ITIL V3 Intermediate exams have been released opening up the path towards ITIL Expert for candidates. The Intermediate level consists of the Lifecycle and the Capability streams. The Lifecycle modules focus on a particular phase in the Service Lifecycle, and the Capability modules are based upon particular processes which have been logically grouped together because of their close relationship. EXIN offers these exams worldwide in paper-based or web-based format.
ITIL Expert can be achieved by earning at least 17 credits across a broad range of ITIL qualifications, and participating in the Managing Across the Lifecycle course. Managing Across the Lifecycle can be seen as the ‘glue’ which holds the ITIL modules together. The exam tests a candidate's ability to apply the concepts learnt at the Intermediate level across the whole Service Lifecycle. Read more

ITIL Software Scheme - Operational Pilot Launch
Introducing the ITIL® Software Scheme
1st May 2009, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, UK... The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) are announcing The ITIL® Software Scheme - a new software endorsement scheme which 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.
Richard Pharro, CEO, The APM Group, which is administering the scheme, said, "The scheme allows consumers to buy and use ITIL based software tools with confidence, knowing the software has been reviewed for compliance with ITIL V3. This gives consumers usability assurance and software vendors the ability to show compliance with ITIL processes."
Software Tool Vendors
OGC's ITIL Software Scheme enables tool vendors to apply to Licensed Software Assessors for a recommendation on the software tool. Software tools are assessed on three levels. These are:
BRONZE: where the tool has not been purchased by a customer;
SILVER: where the tool has at least three customers who have deployed the product;
GOLD: where the tool has a least three customers that have implemented and are using the tool. Proof of customer implementation is required.
