Why expert advice is worth having

Organisations rarely fail ISO 20000-1 because the standard is hard. They fail because the evidence does not match what the auditor asks for.

1

Findings get closed, not logged

Most ISO 20000-1 audits produce findings. What matters is whether they are closed with genuine corrective action or papered over, because the next auditor reads the last report first.

2

Auditors ask for particular evidence

Someone who has sat through hundreds of ISO 20000-1 audits knows which records get requested first and which answers collapse under a follow up question. That knowledge is only earned in the room.

3

It has to survive after we leave

A ISO 20000-1 system that only works while a consultant is on site fails its first surveillance audit. We build it so your own people can run it, and train them to do so.

4

Surveillance never stops

A ISO 20000-1 certificate is the start of a three year cycle, not the end of a project. Building for the surveillance audits from day one costs far less than rebuilding before each one.

What ISO 20000-1 is worth to you

Certification is a commercial decision before it is a technical one. This is where the return usually shows up.

Ticket Backlogs Cleared

Defined incident, problem and change practice stops the same recurring faults consuming the capacity of your support desk.

Service Credits Avoided

Measured service performance lets you spot a breach before the client does and before penalties become contractually payable.

Managed Services Bids

Outsourcing tenders frequently name a certified service management system as a qualification condition for the bidder.

Change Failures Reduced

Controlled release and change practice cuts the self inflicted outages that follow untested Friday evening deployments.

Look at how it is structured before you commit

A good ISO 20000-1 document set is smaller than most people expect and far better organised. Numbering that makes sense, revision control that holds, records that prove the system ran rather than that someone wrote a policy. See it for yourself in a short demo before you decide who to work with.

ISO 20000-1 questions we are asked most

What will we have to put in place for ISO 20000-1?

The requirements fall into four buckets: define it, document it, run it long enough to generate records, then audit it yourself before the certification body does.

How long does ISO 20000-1 take?

Two to four months is the honest range for most organisations, measured from gap analysis to the certification audit. What moves it is how much you already document, how quickly people can be released for training, and the certification body's own diary.

Do you issue the ISO 20000-1 certificate yourselves?

No, and no consultant should. The certificate comes from an independent accredited certification body after their own audit. We prepare you to pass it and we are there on the day to close findings. That separation is exactly what makes the certificate worth holding.

How is ISO 20000-1 consultancy priced?

We price per engagement rather than per seat, because a single site business and a five site group need very different amounts of work. You get a written proposal covering scope, audit days and fees before committing to anything.

Which industries need ISO 20000-1?

We map ISO 20000-1 to 4 sectors and it sits in our it governance practice. Organisations usually arrive because a specific buyer, regulator or tender committee has asked. Tell us who is asking and we will confirm whether this is the standard that satisfies them.

Can you work remotely, or do you need to be on site?

Both, and hybrid. Gap analysis and audit day usually benefit from someone physically present, while documentation and training work perfectly well remotely. We fit delivery to your sites and schedule rather than the reverse.

Prefer to just ask someone about ISO 20000-1 rather than fill in a form?
