ISO/IEC/IEEE IT Standards

Introduction to ISO/IEC/IEEE IT Standards

When it comes to IT Documentation and Governance one of the best sources for compliance is the ISO/IEC/IEEE standards. They provide both standards and best practices, for a successful IT project and business. Experts from around the world contribute to the standards so they provide their experiences and insight to assist businesses provide their IT project goals.

ISO (International Organization for Standardization)
ISO http://www.iso.org is an independent, non-governmental membership organization and the world's largest developer of voluntary International Standards.

IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)
IEEE http://www.ieee.org is the world's largest professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. IEEE and its members inspire a global community through IEEE's highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities.

ISO and IEEE have partnered together to provide new opportunities to adopt and jointly develop international standards to serve the global marketplace.

The following is a summary of the ISO/IEC/IEEE standards that are currently applicable to the IT Industry with links to their respective websites:
