ISO 20000 Certification

What is ISO 20000 Certification?

ISO 20000 is an internationally recognized standard that specifies the requirements for an organization's IT service management (ITSM) system. An ITSM is a set of processes and practices that are used to plan, design, deliver, operate, and control IT services. The standard aims to improve the delivery of IT services by providing a comprehensive and coordinated approach to managing processes, people, and technology. ISO 20000 certification is a validation ensuring that an organization's ITSM system meets the requirements of the standard.

Why Get ISO 20000 Certification?

As the global standard for IT Service Management, ISO 20000 provides a framework that businesses can use to plan, implement, operate, monitor, review, and continually improve their IT Service Management system. The standard is based on best practices from the international community of experts and can help businesses improve their service delivery.

ISO 20000-certified organizations are able to demonstrate their commitment to excellence in IT Service Management, which can give them a competitive advantage in the marketplace. ISO 20000 Certification can also help businesses to win new contracts, as many organizations now require their suppliers to be certified to ISO 20000.
