ISO/IEC 20000 is the first international standard specifically aimed at IT Service Management (ITSM). It describes an integrated set of management processes for the effective and efficient delivery of services to the business and its customers. Should the primary purpose of an organization’s operations be ITSM, then ISO/IEC 20000 is virtually essential.

ISO/IEC 20000 addresses only the IT Service Management processes, and the supporting Management System. It provides a detailed, recognized and tested management system, which allows an IT service company to plan, manage, deliver, monitor, review and improve its services.

The standard does not only take into account operational aspects but also focuses on the monitoring regarding associated risks, financial data, resources and capabilities, thus providing a proper infrastructure to enable a traditional Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) cycle to be efficiently implemented and managed.

ISO/IEC 20000 is applicable to any organization, large or small, from any sector that provides IT services. The standard is particularly suitable for internal IT service providers, such as IT departments, and external IT service providers, such as IT services outsourcing organizations.
