ISO/IEC 20000 is the international IT standard for organizations to demonstrate best practices in IT service management.

Oleg Sosnovsky, Director of Service Desk: "ISO/IEC 20000 is the basis for the company to build relationships with our customers in compliance with the worlds best practices. The success in achieving the ISO/IEC 20000 Certification has become possible thanks to the hard work of all our employees. I would also like to emphasize the importance of the support we receive from Sberbank of Russia and BPS-Sberbank".
