If a shift in IT management is needed for measured business success, a move to wider adoption of ITIL standards and more complete IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions could help. Companies like Numara, HP, and Axios Systems provide IT Asset and Service Management software and services that aim to help companies improve the way IT is managed and maintained within the enterprise.
