IT4IT Request to Fulfill Functional Components
Presents the offers with associated
descriptions, pictures, prices, and
purchasing options to prospective
consumers. Manages the shopping
chart.
Orchestrates the delivery of the various
requests amongst (one or more) fulfillment
engines (and service providers) in order to
deliver the IT service.
The Catalog Composition functional
component creates, updates, and
publishes Service Catalog Entries
(provided by internal and external
vendors)
Aggregates the Service Catalog entries
into consumable offers. It builds and
publishes the various offerings into
Offer Catalogs and makes these
available for consumers.
Manages the life cycle of the request
including approval workflows. Breaks
down and routes services requests to
appropriate Fulfillment Execution
engines.
Provides chargeback or showback for
services using the cost model. It also
consolidates IT service Subscription
(right to use) and
actual Usage as the usage may differ
from the right to use.
Tracks actual usage of subscribed IT
services by gathering IT
service usage metrics, activity, and
history. It processes and breaks down
usage information for
each subscription, its consumers,
providers, etc.
