ISO IEC 20000-1:2011

ISO/IEC 20000 was released in 2005 based on the IT infrastructure library best practice framework, and updated in 2011. ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 is a service management system (SMS) standard. It specifies requirements for the service provider to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and improve an SMS. The requirements include the design, transition, delivery and improvement of services to fulfil agreed service requirements.

ISO 20000-1 is the specification for Service Management designed to improve management operations and techniques. These best practice requirements were developed to enhance the initiation, implementation and maintenance of IT service management in any organization. to meet their constantly evolving business needs, organizations have to adopt increasingly advanced facilities at the minimum cost. But with a spike in their dependency on support services and a diverse range of technologies, including computers and computer networks, they spend too little time planning, training, reviewing and working with customers.

ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 can be used by:-

an organization seeking services from service providers and requiring assurance that their service requirements will be fulfilled
an organization that requires a consistent approach by all its service providers, including those in a supply chain
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 ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011.
