ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018

ISO/IEC 20000-1 is the leading international standard for IT Service Management Systems (ITSMS), ensuring the quality of IT services provided by organizations. It defines the requirements for establishing a management system and outlines best practices for managing a company’s IT services.

ISO/IEC 20000 Certification

assures your internal and external clients that your organization delivers a reliable level of IT services.

As an integral part of many business processes and products, information technology has a significant impact on organizational efficiency—one of the main reasons why more managers are actively addressing IT service management. The reason is that delivered services and production processes increasingly rely on IT-enabled supply chains.

The profitability of IT products, systems, and services depends directly on their defined characteristics. Therefore, it is crucial to achieve the highest levels of reliability, functionality, and security, which must also be traceable.

ISO 20000‑1 certification verifies that your organization can plan, implement, and improve IT processes in compliance with internationally recognized standards. The standard covers requirements for a Service Management System (SMS) and is applicable to any organization providing IT services.
