Technical Topic Explanation

ISO/IEC 20000 family of standards

The ISO/IEC 20000 family of standards is a set of international guidelines for companies providing IT services. These standards help organizations ensure their IT service management processes align with both business needs and international best practices. Achieving ISO 20000 certification demonstrates to customers and stakeholders that a company adheres to high standards of quality in managing and delivering IT services. This certification applies to any company that wants to efficiently manage its IT services, improve customer satisfaction, and ensure continuous improvement in service quality and operations.

IT Service Management System

An IT Service Management System (ITSM) is a framework that helps organizations manage their technology services in a consistent and efficient way. It aligns technology services with the business's needs, focusing on delivering value to customers while optimizing resources and processes. ITSM includes activities like service design, delivery, support, and improvement. It often adheres to standards like ISO 20000, which certifies that a company follows best practices in IT management. This certification helps ensure quality service management and boosts customer trust. Adopting ITSM can enhance service quality, increase efficiency, and improve overall business performance.

Service Management Systems (SMS)

Service Management Systems (SMS) are frameworks that help organizations manage and deliver quality services consistently. An SMS supports the coordination of processes, people, and technology to enhance customer satisfaction, improve performance, and ensure effective service management. Standards like ISO 20000 certification provide guidelines for establishing, implementing, and maintaining an effective SMS, advocating for a structured approach to optimize service management practices and align them with global best practices. This certification helps businesses achieve better operational efficiency and aligns IT services with broader business goals.

Certification audit

A certification audit is a formal evaluation process conducted by an external auditor to verify that a company's management systems meet specific standards set by ISO (International Organization for Standardization). During a certification audit for ISO 20000, the auditor checks whether an organization's IT service management aligns with the prescribed practices of the standard, aimed at enhancing efficiency and service quality. If the organization meets the requirements, the ISO 20000 certification is granted, demonstrating the company's commitment to maintaining high standards in IT service provisions.
