Introduction
System Center 2016 Service Manager supports the ITIL© process, Service Request Fulfillment.
Service Request Fulfillment provides services to users created by the IT department. Typical Service Request and Service Offerings are requests for new hardware (computers, printers, and smartphones), software, user management (create, modify, or delete/disable users), requests for new virtual machines in a cloud, and many more.
The ability of SCSM 2016 to use Review Activities, Manual Activities, and Orchestrator Runbook Activities in a sequential and/or parallel order offers the opportunity to design individual process workflows for different Service Offerings.
In this chapter, we will provide the recipes to configure the basics of the Service Catalog, Service Offerings, and Request Offerings. Also, we will explain how to use the SCSM 2016 portal to create Service Requests.
