BRM for external customers

[itilinaction]

Hi,

We have an ITIL based Business Relationship Management process.

We have:

- internal customers (so we're looking at the role of the Types I and II provider)
- and we have external customers (so we're looking at the role of the Type III provider)

Hence our Business Relationship Management process is written for the provider in its capacity as Types I, II and III.

Is this compatible with ITIL and ISO 20000?

Thank you and regards.

1. there is no suc hthing as compatibility with ITIL.

2. (caveat: I'm only able to talk about the 005 version) There is nothing in wht you have told us that could render your system incompatible with ISO20000.

The test must be: do you meet the requirements for each of your customers? whether this is done through one set of procedures or different procedures for each customer group (or even for each customer) is not relevant to the standard, so long as it all works properly.

If you read the standard you will see it is about what you do, mot how you structure it.
