ISO/IEC 20000

What is ISO/IEC 20000?

ISO/IEC 20000 is the leading international IT service management system standard, with the objective to ensure the quality of the IT services your company delivers. It outlines requirements for setting up the management system and best practices for managing a company’s IT service.

ISO/IEC 20000 certification should not be confused with IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL). Although the 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.

Why is ISO/IEC 20000 important for your business?

An ISO/IEC 20000 certification assures your internal and external customers that your organisation will deliver IT services at a satisfactory level of quality. Benefits of ISO/IEC 20000 certification include:

• Cost-efficient, reliable and effective IT service management architecture
• Documentation of procedures
• Continuous improvement
• Avoidance of recurring errors and incidents through improved knowledge management
• Reduced costs caused by inefficiencies
• Objective, impartial evidence of the quality of your IT service
