Company Information/Certification
Möglingen (euro adhoc) - USU AG, a provider of solutions for IT service and
knowledge management, has successfully passed an examination of its conformance
with the ITIL process for knowledge management. Based on a comprehensive product
review of USU KnowledgeCenter 5.4, the expert examiners at Glenfis AG were able
to verify its in-depth compliance with the principles behind the ITIL guidelines
and its implementation of ITIL best practices. USU KnowledgeCenter 5.4 is
available as an in-house installation or outsourced as SaaS.
Glenfis AG is a licensed assessor and partner of the APM Group (APMG) for
Europe. The APM Group Ltd is a leading accreditation, certification and
examination body with worldwide recognition. As part of its strategic
partnership with the British Office of Government Commerce (OGC) the APM Group
also issues licenses granting the use of OGC trademarks, which include the one
for ITIL. The IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is a collection of best practices
that describe the most effective approaches to IT service management and
represent the de facto international standard in this area.
Furthermore, the nine core IT service management processes recently added to the
USU software suite Valuemation 4.2 also meet the strict international
accreditation guidelines of the APM Group (APMG). In 2009, Pink Elephant, the
American provider of ITIL consulting and certification services, had already
awarded the coveted ITIL seal of approval to the previous versions of both USU
product lines, confirming their fullest compliance with ITIL v2 and ITIL v3
standards.
"We´re very pleased to have received this certification from independent
experts, for this verified compatibility with the ITIL standard gives our
existing and potential customers security and peace of mind when it comes to
their critical business processes," stated Gerald Lamatsch, Member of the Board
at USU AG.
