ABOUT itSMF Ireland
About the itSMF
itSMF Ireland is an affiliated body of itSMF International, a global membership organisation, established
to promote and develop best practice in IT Service Management. itSMF Ireland has a high degree of
autonomy, with the itSMF International "umbrella" body, itSMF International, providing support to the
national chapters and a light directional control.
itSMF Ireland is constituted as a 'private company limited by guarantee', and consequently it is not a
business in the traditional sense. In order to fulfil this role it must address the needs of its members
as well as generate sufficient funds to maintain itself.
