We sometimes encounter confusion with respect to the main players in the ITIL arena. Hopefully the following will help to address this:
OGC The OGC is the 'Office of Government Commerce', a part of the UK Government, and the actual owners of ITIL itself. Formerly known as the CCTA (Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency), the OGC commissions work and development to support and license ITIL, Prince2, and various other publications. APMG This is an accreditation, certification and qualification organization, and is the accreditation body for ITIL. It is a commercial company, and was granted the licensing rights for ITIL by the OGC last year. EXIN The 'Examination Institute for Information Science' is a provider of the ITIL examinations. It is also now an accreditor of ITIL training providers. The ITIL Community This is the major online independent user group for ITIL, with over 7,000 members worldwide. ITSMF Prior to the emergence of APMG, ITSMF acted as the main public facing body on behalf of the OGC. Its position was reduced in a relative sense by the re-organization in the market. Its scope however is wider than just ITIL. ISEB The ISEB is part of the British Computer Society, and is the other main ITIL examination body. |
