Services Science is prevalent in academia, government, and industry across a range of disciplines. Services Science is evident in the field of Information Technology (IT) through the formalism of IT Service Management (ITSM), the Information Technology Information Library (ITIL), and ISO standard 20000. While there are standards, methods, research outcomes, and defined processes for IT Service Management, there is not a repository of the IT services that are the focus of ITSM. This paper uses definitions and descriptions from ITSM research as an instrument to identify data in the literature that represents IT service topics. The goal of the paper is to rationalize the data and propose an IT services inventory in the framework of ITSM. The IT service inventory is meant to better enable systematic IT services research and industry IT service planning, implementation, and execution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
