📅 - IT outsourcing information resource the Strategic Sourcing Advisory Council (SSAC) (ssacouncil.org) announced on Tuesday that it has added three new managed service providers to its membership.

"New members believe in the value of an industry wide common approach to delivering services to customers," says Megan Pulliam, president of the SSAC. "The continued growth of new members in the consortium shows that many kinds of services can benefit from the association's service management quality initiative (SMQI) program that promotes the adoption of the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) best practices as the framework for their service offerings and integration with the rest of the customers' IT operation. This best practice framework is quickly becoming the worldwide standard for quality service delivery."
