Janine Eves, OGC Contract Manager and Publisher at TSO, says: "There are 13m project managers to be trained in China, so the potential for this initiative is enormous. We fully support the goals of the new centre in spreading the word about ITIL and PRINCE2 across China."

ITIL - Chinese Translations Coming Soon

The core ITIL titles have been commissioned and structured as a five title series, each building on the work of the others. As the five core titles reflect the lifecycle of services, their appeal encompasses the entire spectrum of people involved at any stage of the framework. So, without being the prime audience, everyone involved will benefit from access to the entire library.

The ITIL Lifecycle Publications consist of Service Strategy, Service Design, Service Transition, Service Operation and Continual Service Improvement. These have all now been translated into various languages.
