ISO 20000 Certification
Adopt a systematic approach to IT service improvement
Organisations have a clear need for cost-efficient, reliable and effective IT service management practices. Incomplete documentation of procedures can result in poor control over IT processes and services, while the lack of control and measurement can hinder continuous improvement. Many organisations suffer from recurring errors and incidents because they do not practice adequate knowledge management. It is important to provide a clear definition of services provided, taking into account customer demands and customer satisfaction.
An ISO/IEC 20000 certification assures your internal and external customers that your organisation will deliver IT services at a satisfactory level of quality.
How can you prepare for ISO 20000?
You can prepare for the standard by establishing a management system in line with the specifications of ISO/IEC 20000. It is necessary to define the service management policy and the catalogue of services for the organisation. In addition, you will need to conduct an internal audit and a management review prior to the certification, as well as take corrective action to close any identified gaps.
ISO/IEC 20000 is the leading international standard for IT service management. It comprises two parts: ISO/IEC 20000-1, which outlines requirements for setting up an IT service management system, and ISO/IEC 20000-2, which describes best practices. Although the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) describes best practices that can achieve the same level of service quality required by ISO/IEC 20000, ITIL certifications normally apply to individuals, while ISO/IEC 20000 enables the entire organisation to be certified.
