ISO/IEC 20000 is the world’s first international standard specifically designed for IT Service Management (ITSM). It defines integrated management processes and requirements for effectively delivering IT services to organizations and their clients, ensuring critical IT service processes are identified, managed, and aligned with business and customer needs.
This certification adopts a process-driven approach, emphasizing the importance of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to guarantee high-quality, stable, and reliable IT service delivery.
