"With 13 practices in ServiceDesk Plus certified as ITIL 4 compliant, ServiceDesk Plus is an ideal choice for IT leaders that are looking for credible technology solutions to reorganize their IT investments."
ServiceDesk Plus was put through a detailed certification process, which started with ManageEngine submitting an extensive evaluation criteria checklist provided by SERVIEW GmbH.

ServiceDesk Plus successfully cleared the evaluation, meeting 100% of the evaluation criteria for 13 ITIL 4 practices.
