Design and Build a User-Facing Service Catalog
Improve user satisfaction with IT with a convenient menu-like catalog.
The Situation
- Business users don’t know what breadth of services are available to them.
- It is difficult for business users to obtain useful information regarding services because they are often described in technical language.
- Business users have unrealistic expectations of what IT can do for them.
- There is no defined agreement on what is available, so the business assumes everything is.
- Our program helps you organize your services in a way that is relevant to the users, and practical and manageable for IT.
- Our approach to defining and categorizing services ensures your service catalog remains a living document. You may add or revise your service records with ease.
- Our program creates a bridge between IT and the business. Begin transforming IT’s perception within the organization by communicating the benefits of the service catalog.

Best parts were Greg's comprehensive knowledge and the quality of the blueprint. The example services spreadsheet is comprehensive and easy to understand. Coupled with Greg's knowledge, experience and guidance, he was able to lead my team through an experience that grew their foundational knowledge. I have nothing on a negative list. I really can't say enough good about Greg, this blueprint and our positive experience.
