ISO 20000-1 certification in Pretoria (Tshwane) at a glance
Pretoria buys a lot of IT service. National government administration, research bodies and three universities all sit within the City of Tshwane, and each depends on support desks, hosting and managed networks. The Innovation Hub in the city nurtures ICT firms that compete for that work. ISO/IEC 20000-1 is how a provider proves its service management is repeatable: a service catalogue, agreed service levels, incident, problem and change management, capacity and availability, supplier management, reporting and continual improvement. Sterling builds the system around your real services, links it to your information security system, and prepares you for an accredited certification body. Served from Sterling's Johannesburg office.

ISO 20000-1 in Pretoria (Tshwane): questions clients ask
Do Pretoria public-sector tenders ask for ISO 20000-1?
Some do, and some score it as a plus. Requirements vary by tender, so read the evaluation criteria for each one. The certificate shows a repeatable service management process, which helps even where it is not mandatory. Ask the procuring entity if the wording is unclear.
Is ISO 20000-1 hard for a small IT firm at the Innovation Hub?
Not if you scope it sensibly. A small firm can certify the services it actually delivers and keep the process set lean: catalogue, service levels, incident, change, problem and reporting. The real work is discipline in records and reviews, not volume of documents.
