The Change Management process is aligned and certified to ISO20000 IT Service Management. A UKAS accredited body performs external audits to test the Policy/Procedural compliance of ISO20000.

A Change Advisory Board sets the requirements to which the life-cycle of change is managed.

CAB objectives:
Ensure that changes to the IT Infrastructure are assessed, prioritised and scheduled in a timely and cost effective way that maintains contractual client service levels;
Ensure Changes are reviewed throughout the Change Lifecycle;
Ensure appropriate resources are in place to meet clients’ business requirements;
Improve clients’ overall satisfaction with the services provided; and
Manage emergency change.
