Integrating CMMI SVC and ISO 20000-1

This model is part of the CMMI product suite developed by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI^SM). SEI has also provided a standard method for process appraisal known as SCAMPI^SM– Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement.

ISO/IEC 20000-1 is an international standard for Information Technology Service Management. This standard provides specifications for a Service Management System. IT Service providers may adopt this standard for improving IT service management and obtain certification under the ISO certification scheme.

Given these two options, organizations may be wondering how they can benefit from the positive attributes of both. Director of IT Services at UL DQS, Subrata Guha, has developed a new white paper that outlines the similarities, differences and benefits of these two documents, as well as, how organizations may choose to implement an integrated approach.
