Techopedia Explains Enterprise IT Management

In general, the aim of EITM is to focus on supporting only the IT activities that provide value to the business.

In aid of the above principles, a unified service model helps IT managers integrate technologies into business operations. Experts describe this as offering a birds-eye view or a comprehensive schematic of the IT services that a business uses.
