These achievements show that the company continues to position itself as a leading information and communications technology and telecoms solutions provider. Meanwhile, the ISO 20000-1 ITSM certification is based on an independent certification audit conducted by Bureau Veritas, an international company providing testing, inspection, and certification services. Following the audit, it has been confirmed that Ooredoo meets the ISO standards for the development, implementation, monitoring, maintenance and continuous improvement of their IT service management system.
