Abstract

[Abstract]: This study reviews literature related to financial metrics that organizations could use in measuring the return on investment from their adoption of the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework. ITIL outlines an extensive set of best practices for IT service management in organizations but as yet there is limited academic research on measuring the return on investment from ITIL adoption. This review considers appropriate metrics which service managers could use to build a business case for ITIL adoption, or ongoing ITIL projects.
