What is ISO 20000-1?

ISO 20000-1:2018 is the latest version of the IT Service Management standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It defines the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an IT Service Management System (ITSMS). The standard applies to organizations of all sizes and sectors that provide managed IT services—either internally or to external clients.

Growth Management Corporation offers ISO 20000-1:2018 consulting solutions, which include a comprehensive assessment of current IT practices, process gap analysis, documentation, implementation guidance, internal audits, and certification readiness support.
