ITSMI Teams with UC Davis Ext to Provide ITSM & Accredited ITIL® Education

The premier ITSM and ITIL training organization schedules local classes in cooperation with the premier provider of university based continuing education in the Sacramento region.

Sacramento, CA, June 23, 2006 --(PR.com)-- The IT Service Management Institute™ (ITSMI), the premier provider of IT Service Management (ITSM) and ITIL® education in the US, and the University of California Davis Extension, provider of the best and most extensive continuing education for busy working professionals in the Sacramento region, today announced a teaming to provide an extensive schedule of locally delivered ITSM and ITIL education.

An increasing number of IT organizations are considering ITSM strategies in response to the business’s demand for increased value and governance from the IT organization. An ITSM strategy requires a considerable investment in education, consulting and enabling software. Leveraging the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL®) best practices can dramatically improve the chances of success and lower implementation costs. The convenience of a locally delivered education program is a necessity for many.

“ITIL is not public domain and requires special licensing to be included in any product or service, such as education. As the interest in ITIL® has grown we have seen a plethora of organizations falsely claiming to be ‘ITIL accredited’ or ‘ITIL compliant’, making it difficult for customers to choose their education partner. Our teaming with UC Davis Extension guarantees there will be a legitimate, relevant and high quality education program on the doorstep of every Sacramento IT professional”, said Ian Clayton, President, ITSMI.
“At UC Davis Extension, and in our Business & Technology department, we differentiate ourselves by offering the highest quality educational experiences possible. Working with ITSMI continues our tradition of bringing the very best in educational quality to our region, as illustrated by the first two courses scheduled at our Sutter Square Galleria teaching facility, ‘Preparing for “ITIL Version 3”’ and ‘ITSM Foundation®’”, said Gene Crumley, Director UCD Extension’s Business & Technology department.

Full information on these initial classes (priced at $295 and $650 plus exam fees, respectively), how to register, and other related upcoming education events can be viewed at the ITSMI website.
