In short

ISO 20000-1 certification in Hanoi at a glance

An outsourcing contract rarely fails on code alone. It fails when an incident sits unanswered, a change breaks a client system or nobody can say who owns a service level. Hanoi's IT and shared-service providers, many based around Hoa Lac and the finance and headquarters belt on the Nhat Tan to Noi Bai axis, run exactly that kind of work for clients abroad and at home. ISO 20000-1 is the service management standard for it: a service management system with a catalogue and agreements, incident, problem, change and release processes, capacity and continuity, supplier management, internal audit and improvement. Sterling serves Hanoi from its Ho Chi Minh City office and prepares you for an accredited certification body.

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 Hanoi: questions clients ask

What kind of Hanoi company gains most from ISO 20000-1?

IT service providers and shared-service teams that run services for clients under agreed levels, such as outsourcing firms in the hi-tech parks. Their customers want proof of incident, change and service-level discipline. The standard also helps internal IT departments that are held to a service agreement by their own business.

How does ISO 20000-1 relate to ISO 27001 for a Hanoi provider?

They complement each other. ISO 27001 protects information, while ISO 20000-1 manages service delivery through incident, change, capacity and supplier processes. Many Hanoi providers certify both and share the management system structure, so internal audit and management review can cover the two together.
