Pink Elephant Continues To Lead Global Charge In ITIL With Release Of ATLAS™
Companies with global operations will benefit the most from easy-to-navigate portal
BURLINGTON, ON – September 27, 2004 – Pink Elephant, the world’s leading IT service management education and consulting provider, today launched ATLAS, an online portal providing immediate, end-to-end access to knowledge, expertise, data, tools, communications and task support for ‘best practice’ implementation projects in IT environments worldwide.
According to Forrester Research, North American companies will focus more than ever on integrating IT processes with business objectives starting next year. Awareness of IT service management best practices will continue to increase beyond 2005 and the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL®), the standard IT best practice framework, will become essential for every IT department by 2008.
As more organizations adopt ITIL, Pink Elephant offers ATLAS within its managed service line to complement the power of its professionals. For rapid deployment of ITIL best practices at a reasonable cost and in less time, companies can combine Pink Elephant consultants with the knowledge contained in ATLAS.
“IT professionals often ask our consultants what they need to implement best practices and the answer is surprisingly simple,” says David Ratcliffe, President and CEO of Pink Elephant. “Access to knowledge and experience is the most important factor – getting the right combination, at the right time, is key to success and I am confident that we have made that easier with ATLAS.”
