Benefits of FitSM over ITIL

FitSM offers several benefits over ITIL, especially for smaller organizations:

  1. Simplicity: FitSM is a more straightforward and lightweight framework than ITIL, making it easier and quicker to implement. This simplicity also means it’s easier to train employees on FitSM, which can lead to quicker adoption and more efficient service management.
  2. Flexibility: FitSM is designed to be flexible and adaptable to different organizations’ needs, making it easier to customize to specific requirements. This flexibility also means that organizations can choose to adopt only the parts of the framework that are relevant to their needs, avoiding unnecessary complexity.
  3. Cost-effectiveness: Since FitSM is a more lightweight framework, it can be implemented with lower costs than ITIL. FitSM’s APMG certification scheme and exams are significantly more cost effective than ITIL.
  4. Agility: Smaller organizations typically have to respond to change more quickly than larger ones. FitSM’s lightweight, flexible nature allows organizations to be more agile in their service management, enabling them to respond more quickly to changing circumstances.

Overall, FitSM’s simplicity, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and agility make it an attractive option for smaller organizations that need a service management framework that is easier to implement and customize to their specific needs.
