In short

ISO 20000-1 certification in Los Angeles at a glance

Los Angeles buyers of IT services rarely ask whether a provider is clever; they ask whether it is dependable. Professional and business services is one of the largest employment sectors in the metro area, and media and production companies run shared platforms that cannot stall mid-project. ISO/IEC 20000-1 describes a service management system: catalogue, service levels, incident, problem, change and release processes, capacity, supplier management and continual improvement. For a managed-service provider it turns day-to-day habits into evidence a tender reviewer can read. It also sits well beside an information security system. Sterling builds it with Los Angeles teams from its New York office, and an accredited certification body audits the result.

Requirements

What ISO 20000-1 requires

Strip away the vocabulary and ISO/IEC 20000-1 requires a company to prove six things about how it plans and delivers IT services.

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 Los Angeles: questions clients ask

Who should consider ISO/IEC 20000-1 in Los Angeles?

Managed-service providers, outsourcers and internal IT departments that run services against agreed targets. Customers procuring IT services from Los Angeles providers often ask how incidents, changes and service levels are controlled, and an independently audited certificate answers that in a single document instead of repeated questionnaires.

How does it differ from ISO/IEC 27001?

ISO/IEC 20000-1 governs how IT services are planned, delivered and improved, while ISO/IEC 27001 governs how information is protected. Providers frequently hold both, and Sterling aligns the two so that incident, change, supplier and review processes are written once and then used for both audits.
