itSMF Partners
The itSMF has an active programme to work with partner organisations on a Global basis in order to further the ends of Service Management as a discipline.
Global Partner organisations have signed Memoranda of Understanding with the itSMF and we are working together to identify common areas of collaboration and to identify possible join projects.
Global Strategic Partner organisations are actively involved commercially with the itSMF to further the ends of the movement with significant shared interests, objectives and vision.
The itSMF hopes to enter into agreements with more Global Partners in future and, where appropriate, move with existing Global Partners to a more strategic relationship.
