Survey Reports Adoption of ITIL and Related Best Practices

While this survey is vague about how deeply US companies engaged ITIL, it is reporting that 59% have engaged to some level. News to nobody: it finds that adoption rates in other parts of the world are significantly higher (66% are engaged outside the US). It also says that only 8% of US companies claim to be "aligned" with ITIL.
