Tools for ITIL V3

You never have to buy any tools: any process can be operated manually. But they help. Not only has ITIL version 3 expanded into new processes, but it has also expanded in another dimension: along the service lifecycle.

If you are lucky enough to have picked a vendor who will include all this new ITIL V3 functionality as an upgrade and you are current on maintenance, then you will only need to go to the expense of rolling out a new version when you adopt ITIL Version 3.
