Best Practice Courses
Foster-Melliar pioneered ITIL®, a Service Management best practice approach in the early 1990’s in South Africa. Our initial journey evolved to bring together some of the country’s best skills and experience in the ITSM industry.
We supplemented our expanding ITIL portfolio with complementing best practices which include:
- COBIT, best practices for IT Governance;
- DevOps, best practices that combines Software Development and Information Technology Operations which shortens systems development life cycles and provides continuous delivery with high software quality, and;
- Agile, best practices relevant to Software Development Projects.
Best Practice is a methodology that has been adopted from multiple industries to consistently show results superior to those achieved with other means, and that is used as a benchmark for service delivery across industries. In addition, a “best” practice becomes better as new improvements are discovered.
Foster-Melliar Learning Solutions work with organisations using IT Best Practice Frameworks to ensure that organisations can add value to their customers, reduce operating costs and fast track performance.
