IPESC: itSMF-International's Publications Executive Sub Committee
Publications are among the most important values of the international ITSMF community. itSMF is not only playing an important role in managing ITIL, as a partner of OGC, but various chapters are also publishing important publications, ranging from pocket guides and textbooks, up to white papers, exclusive literature, websites, and downloadable templates. To coordinate the efforts of itSMF National Chapter publication efforts, the itSMF International Executive Board has installed a working committee: the International Publications Executive Sub Committee (IPESC), formed in 2003. IPESC has established a worldwide policy for publishing itSMF publications. Core in this policy is the strategy that itSMF chapters cooperate in the development of best practice itSMF publications.

IPESC has endorsed several ITSMF publications for international use by all chapters. All national ITSMF chapters are represented in IPESC. Individual itSMF Chapters have produced many titles. Several titles have been made available in more than one language.

TITLES IN PROGRESS - itSMF chapters are very active in producing more publications on IT Service Management. Below you can find the list of titles in progress. If you are interested in getting involved as a matter expert in one of these publications, then please contact the leading editor through the local itSMF office.
