Service Strategy - Planning IT Services

Service Operation - Managing IT Services

After transition of the service, Service Operation is responsible for the day-to-day management and operation of services, ensuring that processes and activities are operated (and continue to be operated) on a 'business as usual' basis. Its key purpose is to ensure the processes are correctly coordinated and delivered to the levels defined in the relevant Service Level Agreements.

Service Operation covers the services, the service management processes, the underpinning technology used to deliver those services - and the people used to manage all of these aspects.
