Tentang ISO IEC 20000


ISO/IEC 20000 describes the best practices for service management processes. Service delivery grows in importance, as customers require increasingly advanced facilities (at minimum cost) to meet their business needs. It also recognizes that services and service management are essential to helping organizations generate revenue and be cost-effective.

The ISO/IEC 20000 series enables service providers to understand how to enhance the quality of service delivered to their customers, both internal and external. With the increasing dependencies in support services and the diverse range of technologies available, service providers can struggle to maintain high levels of customer service. Working reactively, they spend too little time planning, training, reviewing, investigating, and working with customers. The result is a failure to adopt structured, proactive working practices. Those same service providers are being asked for improved quality, lower costs, greater flexibility, and faster response to customers. Effective service management delivers high levels of customer service and customer satisfaction.

The ISO/IEC 20000 series draws a distinction between the best practices of processes, which are independent of organizational form or size and organizational names and structures.

The ISO/IEC 20000 series applies to both large and small service providers, and the requirements for best practice service management processes do not change according to the organizational form which provides the management framework within which processes are followed.
