What is ISO 20000?
Establishing optimal IT service management in organisations, which can enhance profit as well as efficiency, doesn’t happen by accident. Today’s most successful organisations recognise the importance of having a proven service management system in place via an ISO 20000 certification.
ISO 20000 is the standard that enables companies who manage their IT services, whether internally or outsource to external providers, to align their IT service management processes. Having a Service Management System will also bring your ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) up to standard so your IT services deliver as expected.
Providing a framework for controlling and improving IT service management, ISO 20000 ensures consistency and efficiency for your IT services.

How can ISO 20000 Certification help win more Tenders?
In a variety of industries, ISO 20000 certification is now a very common demand during the PQQ (Pre-Qualifying Questionnaire) stage of the tendering process.
It can be challenging to successfully structure, format, and communicate in your tendering application document how your company manages it’s IT services.
Achieving ISO 20000 Certification means your business will now have a well-documented management system that has been implemented and executed. Having these policies and procedures in place now means that the majority of the responses to tendering questions will be easily accessible.
