Business Service Management - Business Services and IT Services

Business Services and IT Services

Business Services are delivered to customers, supporting their needs, sometimes through the support for a business process or directly supporting a service or product delivered to end customers. A business service may be supported by one or more IT Service(s), and may consist almost entirely of IT Services especially where the IT Service is directly customer-facing. Examples include online banking and online shopping.

An IT Service may not be customer-facing, for example an IT Service which is seen as 'back office' as it supports the execution of an internal business process, such as the support for a billing process which the Finance department would own and manage.
