JBS Acquires ISO 20000 Certification for IT Service Management

JBS today announced the acquisition of an ISO 20000 ( *1 ) certification for IT service management ( *2 ). It was given for a private Cloud for JBS's own verification/development environment using Microsoft System Center.
According to our own research, it is the first acquisition of an ISO 20000 certification for IT service management using System Center for a main management solution.

ISO 20000 is an international standard for IT service management. This time JBS was assessed and certified by BSI Group Japan, an examining authority.

The following five operation management features of System Center are utilized by JBS, which meet the ISO 20000 requirements.

1. IT Service Management
2. Configuration Management　/ Update Management
3. Operation Management (Monitoring / Log Collection)
4. Consolidated Management of Virtual Environment
5. Self Service Portal

JBS migrated to a hybrid cloud environment by combining with Microsoft Azure.

There's a trend among enterprises to utilize a public cloud service while having IT assets on premises.
Having IT assets scattered on-premises and in the cloud makes the management more difficult. JBS is fully committed to help solve this kind of challenge.

In addition to ISO 20000 certification JBS was accredited by EXIN Japan as an ITIL® ( * 3 ) training organization in Aug. 2014. We now offer an ITIL® training service.
