WHAT IS ISO 20000-1:2011?
ISO/IEC 20000 is the first international standard for IT service management (ITSM).
IT service management (ITSM) is a discipline for managing information technology (IT) systems, from the customer's perspective of IT's contribution to the business. ITSM stands in deliberate contrast to technology-centered approaches to IT management and business interaction. Customers are becoming ever more sophisticated, better informed and their expectations are continuously growing. For any business, the only way to keep ahead is to provide a better level of service than the competition. But how can you demonstrate this to your customers? One way is to consider implementing an IT Service Management system that meets the requirements of an internationally recognized standard – ISO 20000. Choosing this approach means that you can apply for an independent certification body to assess the system and confirm that your IT Service Management is effective and uses best practice principles.
ISO 20000 is primarily concerned with the areas of Service Support and Service Delivery of the Information Technology function. The three key objectives are:
- To align IT services with the current and future needs of the business and its customers.
- To improve the quality of the IT services delivered.
- To reduce the long term cost of service provision.
ISO 20000 is heavily based upon the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL). It provides a framework that defines a set of inter-related service management processes essential for the delivery of high quality services that satisfy the business and customer requirements.
ISO 20000 is a certification standard that enables the organisation being assessed has demonstrated considerable amount of implementation in ITSM domains. If successfully certified, it means that the organisation has demonstrated the implementation and is 'continually' improving.
The standard - ISO 20000 - is divided into management system controls (Clause 4) and 5 domains (Clause 5 to 9), which is further divided into the following listed implementation requirements:
- Plan new or changed services
- Design and development of new or changed services
- Transition of new or changed services
- Service delivery processes
- Service level management
- Service reporting
- Service continuity and availability management
- Service continuity and availability requirements
- Service continuity and availability plans
- Service continuity and availability monitoring and testing
- Budgeting and accounting for services
- Capacity management
- Information security management
- Information security policy
- Information security controls
- Information security changes and incidents
- Relationship processes
- Business relationship management
- Supplier management

WHAT IS NANJGEL SOLUTIONS APPROACH TO SUCCESSFUL ITSM – ISO 20000 CONSULTING/CERTIFICATION?
We bring our world wide experience in implementing IT service management system (SMS) in line with ISO 20000 requirements.
- Phase I - Defining service catalog - this represents the Service level agreement (SLA)) between business and IT. Once accomplished the rest of the phases have clear direction.
- Phase II - Determine the scope of implementation - The next phase of ISO 20000 consulting involves defining scope, risk assessment, and gap analysis resulting in determining the scope of risks and implementation.
- Phase III – ISO 20000 Implementation/measurement journey - through definition of performance metrics/policy/procedure/documentation on one hand and the implementation of the gaps on the other;This phase takes the longest duration.
- Phase IV – ISO 20000 Internal Audit - is the process of verifying successful implementation, on one hand, and the inclusion of ITSM principles in business life cycle on the other.
- Phase V – Registration body certification
This has two stages Stage
- 1 – documentation, and Stage
- 2 – implementation verification.
Upon ISO 20000 certification what should happen in the organization?
- Creates competitive advantage via the promotion of consistent and cost-effective services.
- More efficient use of resources for service provision leading to cost reductions.
- Lower incident volumes, faster incident resolution and less business disruption because of service failures.
- Alignment of information technology services and business strategy.
- The creation of a consistent approach that facilitates organizational change.
- Reduced risk of not being able to meet business objectives and Service Level Agreement targets.
- Higher customer satisfaction and improved reputation.
- A continuous improvement in the quality of IT services.
