Service Management

The term Service Management is most widely used as the component of Operations Support Systems responsible for service delivery, such as order management, inventory management, provisioning and activation, network topology management and maintenance, and stability/performance diagnostics of communication service providers and their networks. A service management system automates manual operations of the network, delivery services, and support, making these areas more efficient and error-free.
