The ISO/IEC 20000-1 standard defines the necessary requirements for an organization to provide its Information Technology services (infrastructures and/or applications), with an acceptable level of quality for its customers (internal or external), and this aligned with the approach to management by processes defined by the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) of the Office for Government Commerce (UK).

A global approach to service management needs to define a set of processes necessary to deliver an effective service. These range from basic processes related to configuration management and change management to processes that cover incident and problem management, as well as those directly interacting with customers such as business relationship management.

​

The standard takes a process approach to establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving an organization's IT service management system.
