ITIL Service Catalogue Management: Process Definition
Service Catalogue Management was added as a new process in ITIL V3. In ITIL V2, the Service Level Management process mentioned the concept of a Service Catalogue.
ITIL V3 takes this concept further, introducing a dedicated process to ensure that the Service Catalogue is up-to-date and contains reliable information. ITIL V3 introduces a clear distinction in the Service Catalogue between Business Services (services visible to the customer, defined by SLAs) and Supporting Services (services visible only inside the IT organization, defined by OLAs or UCs).
