In short

ISO 20000-1 certification in Cebu City at a glance

Service desks are a Cebu City speciality, and ISO/IEC 20000-1 is the standard that describes how a service provider should run one. A team in Cebu IT Park handling incidents, changes and requests for an overseas client works to service levels, and the certificate shows that the processes behind them are controlled: a service catalogue, incident and problem management, change and release, capacity and continuity, and regular review. The standard shares its management-system structure with ISO/IEC 27001, so Cebu providers frequently run the two together. Sterling maps the current processes from its Manila office, builds the records and review cycle in Effivity, and prepares the team before an accredited certification body audits.

Requirements

What ISO 20000-1 requires

Services are defined and agreedA service catalogue and service-level agreements state what you deliver and to what standard.
Management owns the service systemTop management sets the service management policy and objectives and provides the people and tools to meet them.
Changes and releases are controlledChanges, releases and deployments are assessed, approved and tracked so live services stay stable.
Incidents and problems are resolvedIncidents and requests are handled to agreed targets, and recurring problems are traced back to their cause.
Capacity, continuity and security are plannedCapacity, availability, continuity and information security are planned so agreed service commitments can be met.
Suppliers and performance are reviewedSuppliers and internal teams are managed against agreements, performance is reported, and the system is audited and reviewed.

ISO 20000-1 in Cebu City: questions clients ask

Which Cebu teams use ISO/IEC 20000-1?

IT-BPM and managed-service teams that run service desks, infrastructure support or application support for overseas clients, many of them in Cebu IT Park. The standard organises incident, change, release, capacity and service-level work. Clients who outsource these functions sometimes name the certificate in the contract.

How does ISO/IEC 20000-1 sit beside ISO/IEC 27001 for a Cebu provider?

They share the same management-system structure, so one team can run both. ISO/IEC 20000-1 covers how services are planned, delivered and improved, while ISO/IEC 27001 covers how information is protected. A Cebu provider handling client systems often adds the second after the first, or the reverse, depending on the buyer's questions.
