itSMF USA AND JUPITERMEDIA ANNOUNCE NEW TRADE SHOW SPECIFIC TO FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

The itSMF USA is now in its third successful year of providing a forum where members have immediate access to all of the experience, materials, documentation and programs that will ultimately assist in improving the management of delivery of IT services to their businesses and customers. The itSMF USA also plays a role in the creation and development of service management business issues, needs and solutions specific to the United States.

"Just as the private sector is increasingly dependent upon information technology to meet business needs, stay competitive and attain corporate goals, so too has the government at all levels come to rely on IT to run more efficiently and effectively," said Beverly Wileman-Pratt, founder of Executive Business Services International and chairperson for the government event. "The itSMF USA is announcing its first annual conference and expo specific to government agencies at the Federal, state and local levels to address these growing needs and concerns," she added.

This conference is specifically designed to educate executive and management level attendees, and covers how standardized processes and best practices can be used to improve the quality of services provided by IT organizations. The program will include speakers from the government sector that will discuss IT Service Management (ITSM) initiatives, the private sector's use of ITSM in support of government, the impact that ITSM has on government IT strategy and goals, strategies and success stories from state and local governments, and the tactics and tools to implement effective ITSM projects. The conference program will be built around the following track themes:

• ITSM in Federal, State and Local Government Today
• Executive Track - ITSM and its Impact on Government IT Strategy
• State/Local ITSM Strategies & Success Stories
• IT Service Management PROJECTS - Case Studies of Successful Tactics and Tools
