In short

ISO 20000-1 certification in Dallas-Fort Worth at a glance

When a Dallas bank outsources its service desk or a corporate headquarters hands its infrastructure to a managed provider, the contract is only as good as the discipline behind the service. The Dallas Regional Chamber lists AT&T, Cisco, Ericsson, Infosys, Accenture and a host of data-centre operators in a metro it ranks fourth for high-tech employment. ISO 20000-1 gives such providers a service management system covering catalogue, incident, problem, change, release, capacity, continuity and supplier management, with measured improvement. Procurement teams increasingly look for it beside an information security certificate. Sterling designs the system from its New York office, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included, before an accredited certification body assesses it.

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 Dallas-Fort Worth: questions clients ask

Which Dallas-Fort Worth providers choose ISO 20000-1?

Managed-service, hosting and support providers that sell to large enterprises and public bodies. The Dallas Regional Chamber lists many IT-services and telecom companies, and procurement teams often score the certificate in tenders. It shows incident, change and service-level processes are controlled.

Can ISO 20000-1 share work with ISO 27001?

Yes. The two standards use the same management-system structure, so policies, internal audits and management reviews can be shared. ISO 20000-1 covers service delivery and ISO 27001 covers information security, so DFW providers often combine them to answer both tender questions with one project.
