Why ISO/IEC 2000
ISO/IEC 20000 is an international IT standard that allows companies to demonstrate excellence and prove best practice in IT management. The standard ensures companies can achieve evidence-based benchmarks to continuously improve their delivery of IT services. The standard is based on the ITIL® best practice framework for IT Service Management.
Originally released in 2005 as the first worldwide standard specifically aimed at IT Service Management, it quickly became a competitive differentiator for organisations delivering IT services and has subsequently strengthened with the recent release of an updated version in 2011. ISO/IEC 20000 promotes the adoption of an integrated process approach to effectively deliver managed services to meet the business and customer requirements.
