The IT Service Management Forum (itSMF) is an independent, international, not-for-profit organization of IT service management (ITSM) professionals worldwide.^[1] Around the operation of IT services the itSMF collects, develops and publishes best practices, supports education and training, discusses the development of ITSM tools, initiates advisory ideas about ITSM and holds conventions. The itSMF is concerned with promoting best practices in IT service management^[2] and has a strong interest in the international ISO/IEC 20000 standard. The itSMF publishes books covering various aspects of service management through a process of endorsing them as part of the itSMF Library.

History[edit]

With a growing number of national chapters a real international umbrella was needed. The itSMF International was created in 2004.^[3]

International organization and activities[edit]

Typical activities in the national chapters were: itSMF chapters were partner of conferences of other organizations (e.g. Gartner “Business Intelligence & Information Management Summit 2013” in Australia ^[4]). There were own studies or together with other, well known research organizations (e.g. “Drive Service Management Adjustments With Peer Comparisons”^[5] from the itSMF USA together with Forrester Research, Inc.)

German chapters[edit]

There were three books about “ITIL in the Public Sector” (“ITIL in der Öffentlichen Verwaltung”^[6]), “Organization Model for the IT in the Public Sector” (“Organizationsmodell für die IT in der Öffentlichen Verwaltung”)^[7]^[8]) and “Service Level Management in the Public Sector” (“Service Level Management in der Öffentlichen Verwaltung”)^[9]).

Annually in December the German chapter celebrates a two-day congress. Topics were provided in different formats with typical keynotes,^[10] four or five parallel user sessions, which presents three 20-minute-speeches in a row and a joint discussion, and some open world café discussions.

During the year typical two one day meetings were held – name itSMF Live! - with different, actual topics. A special event for the Public Sector is the event FIT-ÖV.^[11]

The chapter award since 2009 the ITSM project of the year. The first awarded project was “ITIL 2010” of the Federal Employment Agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit, Germany).^[12]

-At the [[CCTA]] in UK starts 1986 the idea about a GITTIM - ''Government IT Infrastructure Management Method''; that turned in ITIL. The program manager was John Stewart, who assigned Brian Johnson as responsible at CCTA site to create a user group, which was established in 1991 – the birth of ''it''SMF. It was initially called the IT Infrastructure Management Forum (ITIMF). The change to ''it''SMF was around 1994/5 in relation with the birth of the first “oversea” chapter in the Netherlands.
+==International organization and activities==
-The ''it''SMF UK takes at this time the international coordination. With a growing number of national chapters a real international umbrella was needed.

-==Context==
-Organizations in correlation with the work around ITIL:
-* The '''[[Office of Government Commerce]]''' (OGC) is part of the Efficiency and Reform Group of the [[Cabinet Office]], a department of the [[Government of the United Kingdom]].<ref name="co">[http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/media/420612/machinery-government-explanatory.pdf Machinery of government changes since the General Election 2010 - explanatory document]</ref> Primordial the ''Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency'' (CCTA) was the name of the unit, which developed ITIL and  established the ''it''SMF. In 2000 it was subsumed into the OGC.
-* [[The Stationery Office]] (TSO) is the privatized publishing arm of Her Majesty's Stationery Office. TSO is the publisher of ITIL.
-* [[Axelos]] is the official accreditor for qualifications based on their Best Practice guidance portfolio.

-[[File:ItSMF South Africa Logo.tiff|thumb|right|itSMF South Africa Logo]] The itSMFsa Logo uses the national flag ball device devised for the itSMF 50th Chapter celebration in 2010. The Logo also employs the alternative definition of the 'black' for 'it' that was adopted by the itSMF in January 2010 in recognition of the importance of the growing Asian involvement in Service Management - the logo uses the principles of [[Feng shui]] to produce more harmony in the colours of the logo, reflecting the need for more harmony in the operation of the organization itself.
