Perspecta Named Enterprise-Wide ITIL4 ATO; Mike Kirkland Quoted

Perspecta Inc. has been named an enterprise-wide ITIL4 Foundation accredited training organization (ATO), the company reported on Thursday.

"The ATO certification extends our ability to train our already highly capable workforce in cloud, digital transformation and IT managed services practices to help our customers reduce cost, accelerate service delivery, reduce risks and optimize resources," said Mike Kirkland, senior vice president, offerings and solution development at Perspecta.

ITIL is an industry-standard framework for developing, managing and supporting IT services based on industry best practices. Certifications are available for individual IT professionals, and entire IT teams can benchmark their performance and efficiencies against industry standards. 

As an ATO, Perspecta will be able to provide training and certification to its nearly 14 thousand employees as well as government and commercial customers. ITIL 4 Foundation ​training is accredited by Peoplecert and is designed to introduce modern IT-enabled services.

The accreditation was issued by PeopleCert, a global leader in the assessment and certification of professionals and organizations and was received in May 2020. Through the certification, Perspecta has enhanced service management key concepts, ITIL principles, the service value system (SVS), practices and the company’s role in a service provider organization.

PeopleCert is an approved examination institute for AXELOS, which is responsible for developing, enhancing and promoting several best practice frameworks and methodologies used globally by professionals working primarily in IT service management, project, program and portfolio management and cyber resilience.

"This accreditation marks an incredible achievement for the team, and positions us at the forefront of service management across the entire ITIL 4 service delivery framework," Kirkland added.
