Inside Dube TradePort, even the network is a managed service. Dube iConnect supplies broadband, voice and cloud computing to tenants, with data-centre options and regional disaster recovery, and the provincial investment agency promotes KwaZulu-Natal's outsourcing sector for cybersecurity, healthcare administration and fintech. Providers like these are judged on uptime, response and change control. ISO/IEC 20000-1 gives them a service management system customers can inspect: service catalogue, incident, problem and change management, service levels, capacity and continuity under management review. Sterling's Johannesburg office maps your current practice to the clauses, closes the gaps and prepares the audit by an accredited certification body.

ISO 20000-1 in Durban: questions clients ask
Is ISO 20000-1 only for IT companies in Durban?
No. It applies to any organisation providing a service to customers under agreed service levels, including IT-enabled and administration services. A healthcare-administration or contact-centre provider with defined services, incidents and changes can use it. Choose it when clients ask for evidence of service management, not for its own sake.
How does a hosting provider in Durban use ISO 20000-1 with ISO 27001?
The two share a management-system structure, so one team can run both. ISO 20000-1 shows how the service is planned, delivered and improved, and ISO 27001 shows how information is protected. Hosting and cloud providers often certify both because tenants ask about reliability and security in the same breath.
