How ISO 20000-1 Certification Benefits IT Departments
- Improving Uptime and Reliability
IT departments are usually the most stressed. ISO 20000-1 alleviates some unnecessary stress by enforcing standardized processes for incident management, service continuity, and problem resolution.
Example: One ISO 20000-1 certified mid-sized Tanzanian IT department optimized operations and minimized unproductive system downtime by 30%. This meant less downtime for employees and clients. IT departments formalized incident escalations and tracking which improved the automation system’s predictability and resolution time.
- Streamlining Process and Incident Management
All norms encourage recording various IT processes, including change and service delivery management. This documentation avoids multiple efforts and promotes teamwork among the personnel in the IT department.
For instance, an IT team located in Manila and part of the expanding BPO sector streamlined their service desk operations to great effect. Response times improved by 25% in speed, which improved internal employee satisfaction and even external client perceptions.
- Improved Compliance and Risk Mitigation
In alignment with ISO 20000-1 standards IT departments can better coordinate internal policies and external regulatory frameworks. Documenting processes and ongoing surveillance mitigate the risks associated with breaches of service, significant operational risks, and valuable data loss.
Audits in a Tanzanian fintech organization, which primary IT regulatory requirements, assisted in building trust with customers and regulatory authorities.
