ITSM Lifecycle

Enabling service improvement through best practice

NextHope has built its own practices methodology founded both on ITIL v3 standards and Cisco best practice lifecycle services management. Our consultants hold IT leading-vendor accreditations and the service management team are trained and qualified in ITIL standards. Currently, NextHope is in progress to obtain ISO/IEC 20000 standard certification.

NextHope’s top executive management places “Processes” at the Core of the company keys factors success and its operation strategies. Apart from the technical expertise, our “People” are trained and work permanently on processes improvement. Each “Technology” is first adapted on established and repeatable processes before being part of our products and services catalogs offering.

ITIL v3

ITIL (the IT Infrastructure Library) is a set of books and documents that are used to aid the implementation of IT Service Management. It provides a comprehensive framework of processes and best practice advice for IT Service Management. All NextHope services are built within the ITIL v3 framework to apply industry best practices to customer’s IT environment. This lies on end-to-end ITIL processes from Design, Transition (Build) through Operation Services.
