Enable an organization to better plan, deliver and support services while accurately costing and pricing services.

The Service Catalogue enables good governance in that the key terms, conditions, and controls defined in the Service Catalogue are integrated into the service delivery processes of the organisation.

It looks at common activities such as ordering of PC/desktop, telecommunication, collaboration, and support services, which can produce measurable results and assures consistent service pricing and quality.

Service Catalogue also looks at ways to help reduce cycle time; implementing workflow can reduce the time it takes to fulfil services, saving numerous hours per request. Organizations can thus reallocate precious staff time to more strategic initiatives.

Certify your ability to:

  • Demonstrate value to the business by establishing service level expectations, regulating service deliverables and improving communication across IT.
  • Reduce access points into IT and consolidate IT services.
  • Standardize IT services and help IT organizations reduce or eliminate ad hoc requests by automating request management.
  • Reallocate resources to critical business systems to better manage the IT portfolio and optimize workflow.
  • Communicate a documented portfolio of services to the organization.

What is Service Catalogue?

Service Catalogue is a complementary qualification to the ITIL® 2011 suite. It looks at new ways to:

  • control demand;
  • publish and track service pricing and cost; and
  • automate service request management and fulfillment.

The service catalogue provides a clear view of what services IT provides and how IT adds value for the money allocated. It provides a method to request or order the services that are published. The Service Catalogue enables good governance in that the key terms, conditions, and controls defined in the Service Catalogue are integrated into the service delivery processes of the organization. It enables an organization to better plan, deliver and support services while accurately costing and pricing services.

Studies show that implementing a role-driven, online, searchable catalogue with standardized services can convert costly requests for information, status, how-to and new service calls into zero-cost web-based user self-service. The Service Catalogue looks at common activities such as ordering of PC/desktop, telecommunication, collaboration, and support services, which can produce measurable results and assures consistent service pricing and quality.

Service Catalogue also looks at ways to help reduce cycle time; implementing workflow can reduce the time it takes to fulfill services, saving numerous hours per request. Organizations can thus reallocate precious staff time to more strategic initiatives.

A "Service Catalogue", as defined in the ITIL Service Delivery guidance, is a list of services that an organization provides, often to its employees or customers. Each service within the catalogue typically includes:

  • A description of the service
  • Timeframes or service level agreement for fulfilling the service
  • Who is entitled to request/view the service
  • Costs (if any)
  • How to fulfill the service.
