From the publications of ISACA (Information Systems Audit and Control Association), a framework called COBIT® has been emerged, which has convinced managers worldwide to use COBIT® to control IT and business processes. With the help of many stakeholders, the framework has evolved from this conviction into COBIT® 5.0, which inspires people with its comprehensive description of IT requirements and control instruments. COBIT® 5.0 offers exactly the tools needed to manage ITIL® in an IT organization using predefined goals, activities, measurement indicators and guidance paths. Normally, ITIL® and the implementation of ITIL® in the IT organization is not sufficient. IT and the ITIL® processes must be controlled by the clear requirements. With other words, COBIT® is exactly the interface between IT and its ITIL® processes and corporate management and business objectives.

COBIT® 5.0 delivers not only the processes, but also the management practices, i.e. the right process activities, the interfaces between each other, key performance indicators and their activities, which are necessary to achieve the business and IT goals. COBIT® 5.0 is a very good and an important addition to the ITIL® framework and thus makes clear demands on the ITIL® processes in order to be able to optimally control the business processes.
