Can you imagine a world without standards
A few in our daily life
A lot more.. in every day life.. We are not conscious of them
More important in Technology
• Monitors
• Storage Devices
• Processors
• Hard Disks
• Communication protocols
• Communication medium
U name anything in Technology you will have standards
Why Standadization?

ISO 20000: IT Service Management
ISO 20000 is the international standard for IT Service
Management (ITSM) published by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO).
The standard ISO 20000 consists of two parts –
► Part 1: Specification
► Part 2: Code of Practice
ISO/IEC 20000-1 (Part 1-Specifications) promotes the
adoption of an integrated process approach to effectively
deliver managed services to meet the business and
customer requirements.
ISO/IEC 20000-2 (Part 2-Code of Practice) represents
an industry consensus on quality standards for IT service
management processes.
