Mapping Information Technology Infrastructure Library with other Information Technology Standards and Best Practices

Information Technology (IT) has become an important strategic resource that any organization has to ma nage. It has been recognized that IT services are crucial and strategic organizational assets, therefore, or ganizations are investing considerable amount of resources into the support and delivery of IT services and the sy stems that underpins them. Various IT standards and IT be st practices are being implemented by the enterpris es to support their business and IT services. A number of these standards are different from others but they contain some similarities. This study discusses these IT st andards and best practices and maps their processes to ITIL. CobiT, ISO/IEC 27002-2005, Six Sigma, TOGAF, eTOM, CMMI, PCI DSS and Common Security Framework (CSF) processes will be mapped to ITIL processes. This study will show the similarities betw een several IT standards and ITIL that helps in adoptin g these standards concurrently with ITIL. ITIL and other standards have many similarities that will benefit enterprises in implementing these standards concurr ently.
