Companies of all sizes rely on an effective IT service in the modern business environment, but with fast-paced changes in technology it is not easy to keep up with best practices.
Whether you are an in-house IT department supporting an organisation or an IT outsourcing firm providing an external service, ISO 20000 sets the global standard IT service management (ITSM). It provides the framework and guidance to deliver a seamless IT service, maintain reliability and meet the requirements of your organisation or client. In many cases, it is also a requirement in tenders and framework agreements, particularly to access public sector contracts.
WHAT IS ISO 20000?
ISO 20000 is the globally recognised standard for Information Technology Service Management. It drives the quality and consistency of IT service and infrastructure management, whether in-house or outsourced.
The standard covers key processes across all aspects of ITSM including service level management reporting, budgeting and accounting for IT services, information security, as well as supplier, incident, change and release management.
HOW IS ISO 20000 STRUCTURED?
The standard is split into ten parts, with parts 1 and 2 are the most important.
- Part 1: Service management system requirements. ISO 20000-1 provides the requirements for IT service management and is relevant to those responsible for initiating, implementing or maintaining ITSM in their organisation.
- Part 2: Guidance on the application of service management systems. ISO 20000-2 describes the best practices for service management processes within the scope of Part 1.
