Axelos eyes Asia for international expansion of Itil

AXELOS, the new guardian of management and best practices frameworks Itil (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) and Prince2, is planting roots in Asia as it begins its drive to expand the frameworks' adoption more aggressively beyond Europe.

Both Prince2 (Projects in Controlled Environments, version 2) and Itil were created by the UK government in the late 1980s, and have been updated over the years. Prince2 is a project management methodology while Itil is a set of practices for IT service management (ITSM) that focuses on aligning IT services with the needs of business.

Last year, the UK government decided to tender for a joint venture to be set up with a private company for the assets of Itil and Prince2.
