Description

ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 Information technology - Service management – Part 1: Service management system requirements

ISO20000-1:2011 specifies the requirements for a service management system (SMS), and details how a service provider can plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and operate an SMS.

Who should use ISO20000?

• A service provider that intends to demonstrate its capability for the design, transition, delivery and improvement of services that fulfil service requirements.
• A service provider to monitor, measure and review its service management processes and services.
• A service provider to improve the design, transition, delivery and improvement of services through the effective implementation and operation of the SMS.
• An assessor or auditor as the criteria for a conformity assessment of a service provider's SMS to the requirements in ISO20000-1:2011.
