ISO 20000-1 certification in Montreal at a glance
A Montreal software house that runs a client's help desk, hosting and releases can be extremely capable and still lose a tender on one question: how do you prove the service is run consistently? ISO 20000-1 supplies the proof. It defines a service management system covering a service catalogue, request and incident handling, problem and change control, release and deployment, capacity and availability, continuity and supplier management, audited and reviewed by management. With Montréal International profiling a deep AI and technology base, such providers are common here. Sterling's Toronto office serves Montreal teams, and an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

ISO 20000-1 in Montreal: questions clients ask
When would a Montreal IT provider add ISO 20000-1?
Typically when tenders or enterprise customers start asking how services are run, not only how data is protected. The standard covers service catalogue, incident, change, capacity and continuity processes. Many providers add it after ISO 27001 so documents and audits can be shared.
Does ISO 20000-1 require ITIL?
No. ISO 20000-1 sets requirements for a service management system and does not mandate a specific framework. Teams that already use ITIL practices find much of the work done, but the audit looks at evidence of defined, controlled processes whichever method produced them.
