ISO/IEC 20000:2018 Certification
About ISO 20000 Certification
When you look at the ISO 20000 standard, what do you see? Wealth of process documentation and procedures that will help your organization meet the challenge of delivering high quality IT Service Management. But what you don’t expect to find is a way of reducing costs and increasing value for money. And yet there it is, clear as day: the certification of ISO 20000-1:2018 is a unique opportunity to implement the processes necessary to deliver IT Services, with direct benefits for your organization and your customers.
Let’s look at these benefits in more detail:
Benefits gained from implementing IEC 20000 IT Service Management best practice include:
- Improved business performance as a result of increased efficiency, availability, reliability, flexibility and quality of services.
- A single version of the truth for all service knowledge.
- Increased customer satisfaction which in turn increases revenue.
Reduced costs through improved business processes and lower expenditure on non-IT related activities : ISO 20000 certification is a business driven approach, not an IT centric approach. The implementation of the standard provides you with all the tools and processes that are needed to move your organization towards becoming more efficient, customer focused and better able to meet the challenges of running world class IT services. This business improvement can deliver benefits right across your organization including increased revenue, improved quality of service for existing customers, new customer opportunities and lower costs across the board.
Increased Value for Money: The IEC 20000 certification process is all about looking at how your organization is currently performing against best practice IT Service Management principles, then showing you how to optimize your operations so that they are delivering the maximum value possible.
Iterative process: The certification is not about doing everything perfectly at once, but finding a baseline and then moving forwards in discrete steps so that you can be assured of the continued value of your investment.
Immediate Return on Investment: With benefits such as increased revenue, improved efficiency and customer satisfaction it’s easy to see how the ISO 20000 certification process pays for itself and provides you with a positive return on investment and also contributes to better business performance.
ISO 20000 Certification Cost
The cost of ISO 20000 certification is a fraction of what you would pay for a typical IT infrastructure implementation, certainly less than the annual salary paid to a single member of an in-house team supporting your service desk function.
And while many people see the cost of getting that piece of paper as being expensive, just think about what it will cost you to not get the certification:
The cost of continuing inefficiency and lack of business focus within your IT department, including poor service quality and customer dissatisfaction, which is only going to cost exponentially more over time. The certification process requires a demonstrable commitment from the senior members of your staff, this will increase their motivation to do a better job and work more efficiently.
