SILA Union and itSMF Russia join forces in the development of RITM

SILA UNION LLC and the Association of Organizations and Specialists in the Field of Information Technology Management, IT Service Management Forum (itSMF Russia), have signed a cooperation agreement aimed at developing and popularizing the Rational IT Methodology (RITM).

The agreement provides for long-term cooperation between the parties in the field of promoting modern approaches to IT management, exchanging expertise, technical solutions of the RITM project, joint events, and information support for the professional community.

SILA Union is a developer of a Russian platform for comprehensive design and management of corporate architecture, business processes, strategy, risks, digital transformation activities, and artificial intelligence. SILA Union contains a wide portfolio of tools and supports all leading notations, methodologies, and frameworks, making the SILA Union digital environment a natural workspace for teams working with the RITM methodology. As part of the partnership, the SILA Union platform becomes one of the key platforms for hosting the RITM process diagrams, and the company's experts become contributors to the development of the methodology.

Rational IT Methodology (RITM) is a comprehensive body of knowledge on IT management created by the community

"We at SILA Union are convinced that digital transformation is based on the union of the best methodologies and technologies. The strength of our partnership with itSMF Russia lies precisely in this synergy: the RITM methodology provides the market with rational meanings, while SILA Union provides a living digital environment for their implementation. Thanks to this connection, IT practices take the form of a real, scalable asset for businesses," said Elena Silkina, Founder and Managing Partner of SILA Union.

 

"In RITM, processes are described not as a set of static documents, but as versioned artifacts using the docs-as-code approach. The description follows a unified structure and is supplemented with process diagrams. It is crucial to consider the tools used by our authors and the format in which our knowledge base is accessed by users. Partnering with SILA Union will enhance the usability of diagrams, both during creation and control, as well as in their subsequent use," said Ilya Pankratov, Project Manager at RITM, itSMF Russia.

The signing of the agreement was another step towards creating a professional environment where technological solutions, methodology, and practical experience work together to achieve the common goals of digital development in the country.
