What is ISO 20000-1
ISO 20000-1 is an international standard for IT service management. It defines requirements for an effective service management system (SMS) and is based on the ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) framework. The standard provides a framework for organizations to deliver managed IT services to their customers, ensuring consistent quality and adherence to best practices in service management. When your company achieved to ISO 20000-1 certification, your company is able to demonstrate your commitment to delivering high-quality IT services and provide assurance to customers that your IT service management processes are aligned with international best practices.
What is ISO 20000-2
ISO 20000-2 is a code of practice for IT service management. It provides guidelines for the implementation and operation of a service management system (SMS) that meets the requirements of ISO 20000-1.
ISO 20000-2 is designed to help organizations implement and operate an SMS that meets the requirements of ISO 20000-1. The standard provides practical advice and guidance on how to plan, implement, operate, monitor, review, and improve an SMS. It covers topics such as service management processes, service delivery, and measurement and reporting of service quality.
By following the guidelines and best practices outlined in ISO 20000-2, organizations can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their IT service management processes, increase customer satisfaction, and reduce costs associated with IT service delivery. Organizations seeking to achieve certification to ISO 20000-1 can use ISO 20000-2 as a useful reference for their implementation efforts.

How does ISO 20000-1 relate to ITIL ?
ISO 20000-1 provides a more formal, structured approach to IT service management, and its certification process provides external validation of an organization’s IT service management processes. ITIL, on the other hand, provides a more flexible, guidelines-based approach to IT service management, and does not provide a certification process.
In summary, ISO 20000-1 provides a standardized, auditable set of requirements for IT service management, while ITIL provides best practices and guidance for effective IT service management. Both approaches complement each other and are often used together in organizations seeking to improve their IT service management processes.
