  12. What Is ITIL All About? • AligningIT services with business requirements • A set of best practices, not a methodology • Providing guidance, not a step-by-step, how-to manual; the implementation of ITIL processes will vary from organization to organization • Providing optimal service provision at a justifiable cost • A non-proprietary, vendor-neutral, technology-agnostic set of best practices.
