ISO 20000-1 certification in Vancouver at a glance
High-tech services employ the largest share of Metro Vancouver's technology workforce, according to Invest Vancouver, and many of those firms run systems for someone else: hosting, managed support, software delivery and data operations. A client choosing between providers cannot see how well the service desk and change control really work. ISO 20000-1 is how a provider shows it. The standard defines a service management system with a catalogue, request and incident handling, problem and change control, release management, capacity, availability, continuity and supplier management, audited and reviewed. Sterling's Toronto office serves Vancouver providers and pairs the work with ISO 27001 where wanted; an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

ISO 20000-1 in Vancouver: questions clients ask
Which Vancouver providers add ISO 20000-1?
Managed-service, hosting and software-as-a-service providers serving enterprises and public bodies, usually after a tender asks how services are run. High-tech services are the largest part of Metro Vancouver's tech workforce, so the pool is deep. Customers rarely request it outside outsourcing contracts.
How long does an ISO 20000-1 effort take when ISO 27001 is already in place?
Shorter, because the two standards share a management-system structure and much of the documentation, audit and review machinery already exists. What remains is the service-specific content: catalogue, incident, problem, change, release, capacity and supplier processes. Timing depends on how well those are already defined.
