Owner BiSL is owned by the ASL BiSL Foundation. Their aim is to create an integrated chain for information supply management. In their own words: “ASL BiSL Foundation (formerly ASL Foundation) has managed ASL and BiSL’s key ideas for several years, and is now developing them further. In doing so, it is seeking to bring business and IT closer together. The supply of information – perhaps by its very nature – needs to take place via an integrated chain.” (Source: ASL BISL Foundation)
Brief history and description BiSL (Business Information Services Library) was developed by a Dutch IT service provider, PinkRoccade and was made public in 2005. BiSL was then transferred to the public domain and adopted by the ASL – BiSL Foundation. The current version is Version 1.1, published in 2012. BiSL focuses on how business organizations can improve control over their information systems: demand for business support, use of information systems and contracts and other arrangements with IT suppliers. BiSL offers guidance in business information management: support for the use of information systems in business processes, operational IT control and information management. The library consists of a framework, best practices, standard templates and a self-assessment. The BiSL framework gives a description of all the processes that enable the control of information systems from a business perspective (see figure).
