IT Service Management Assessment
Before you can decide where it is you want to go, it's useful to know where you're starting from.
The Public IT Service Management Assessment service gives the IT organisation a clear view of how their existing processes compare to documented good practice, based on the ISO/IEC 20000 IT Service Management standard. This can then be used to make an informed decision regarding the pace of implementation and whether or not to consider certification against the standard.
