The ISO 20000 standard is the first international benchmark for IT Service Management (ITSM). It was first published in 2005, then updated in 2011 and 2018 to align with the rapid evolution of digital transformation and IT services. This standard serves as a roadmap for organizations that aim to deliver high-quality, reliable IT services.
💡 The key difference between ISO 20000 and ITIL is that ITIL provides a best-practice framework, while ISO 20000 is a certifiable international standard.
