itSMF USA AWARDS AND RECOGNITION

The objective of the itSMF USA Awards & Recognition Program is to shine the spotlight – literally and figuratively – on the best of the best in the ITSM industry and in the service of the membership of the itSMF USA. In doing so we seek to achieve a fully engaged and contributing membership through recognition, rewards, encouragement and reinforcement of the standards, mission, goals, values and principles of the itSMF USA.

The program is administered by a volunteer committee adhering to the stated criteria with the highest level of objectivity and rigor.

2018 itSMF USA Awards

The annual itSMF USA awards – announced at FUSION 18 – are not just about recognizing and celebrating the achievements of groups, companies, and individuals. They are an entry point into the knowledge and experience of those who have already succeeded. The awards are also a great advertisement for IT Service Management (ITSM) and its applicability to organizations of all shapes and sizes.
