ITIL® provides guidance on the provision of quality IT services, and on the processes needed to support them. The purpose of the CSI stage of the lifecycle is to align IT services with changing business needs by identifying and implementing improvements to IT services that support business processes.
If you are looking to provide access to some or all of the core ITIL® books to a large ITSM team, multi-user access is often a very cost-effective way of each member of staff accessing the content.
If you are buying all five ITIL® core titles you’ll save over £800 by buying an ITIL® Lifecycle Publication Suite Multi-user Licence.
ITIL® 2011 Continual Service Improvement provides guidance in four main areas:
The concepts in ITIL® 2011 have been updated for clarity and consistency, without affecting the overall message, ensuring every stage of the service lifecycle remains focused on the business case, and relates to all the companion process elements that follow. ITIL 2011 is fully aligned with MSP®, M_o_R®, PRINCE2® and P3O®.
It is recommended that ITIL® 2011 Continual Service Imrprovement is used in conjunction with the other core ITIL® publications.

Index
A concurrent multi-user licence enables a number of people to access the full range of ITIL® material simultaneously in its full online format. Multi-user access to the material is by IP authentication, password and username, or referral link, which means that any person using these methods will be able to access the material, up to the maximum number of simultaneous users permitted by your licence. As all users of ITIL® material within an organisation do not necessarily need to access it simultaneously, a multi-user licence can be a very cost-effective option. A licence covering one concurrent user, for example, may support between 10 and 15 users inside your organisation, depending on the frequency and timing of each user’s access of the material.
You can purchase a multi-user licence by selecting the appropriate amount of users to be covered by the licence in the in the drop-down box above.
We can, and often do, supply multi-user licences for larger organisations which may need hundreds of staff to access the material. Please contact us for a price and any specific information you may need in considering this purchase.
