ITSMA’s Solutions Council

ITSMA’s Solutions Council is comprised of senior-level executives who have significant influence over their companies’ solutions businesses. It is a peer network designed to raise the bar for developing, marketing, and selling integrated, technology-based solutions through best practice knowledge sharing and research.

Solution: A solution is a combination of products and/or services with intellectual capital, focused on a particular customer problem and driving measurable business value to customers. (Adopted by ITSMA’s Solutions Council as of April 2006)

Collectively, the Solutions Council:

Sponsors a body of research on solutions benchmarking, best practices, and buyer wants and needs
Sets industry standards on selected solutions practices and issues

The Council examines the solutions-related issues that matter to me and to my company in an open and thought provoking format. Gaining understanding from peers across the industry is invaluable.”
