South Africa's perspective

Since the South African industry continues to invest in business technologies, as well as their telecommunications, mining, health care, governmental modernization, retail, and manufacturing automation sectors, structured IT Service Management (ITSM) has gained added importance. This ITIL Training Course was designed to enhance the trainee’s ability to support Operational Excellence as well as Digital Transformation.

Advantages of obtaining the ITIL® v5 Service Certification are:

  •  Improving the quality and consistency of IT service delivery.
  •  Providing customers with a greater degree of satisfaction through improved IT service management practices.
  •  Reducing service interruptions and ensuring the continuity of business operations.
  • Supporting the digital transformation of an organisation and its growth.
  •  Improving service reliability and operational efficiency.
  •  Aligning IT services to organizational goals to create long-term value to the organisation.

Illustrative Scenario: Applying ITIL® Version 5 in South Africa's Banking Sector

An established commercial bank in South Africa provides customers with 24-hour access to online banking, mobile app banking, developed payment methods, and ATM services. When there has been an outage or some other element of a security breach, standard payment system interruption, etc., an organisation’s IT (Information Technology) service response time should be as quick as possible at restoring services and having little to no impact on customers. Following ITIL® Version 5 best practices enables organisations to put processes in place concerning Incident Management, Service Request Management, Change Enablement, Problem Management, and Continual Service Improvement.

The processes of ITIL® Version 5 provide organisations the ability to reduce downtime, increase service reliability, improve the customer experience, and support business continuity. While this example is hypothetical, many organisations in South Africa are currently going through the process of digital transformation and experience similar instances of reliability issues due to having unstable electronic platforms.
