Service Delivery Management helps product (OEM) service and third party service providers to optimize and effectively manage customers, assets, and the workforce. The focus is on operational business flows across the entire organization, breaking down the information silos that prevent true business transformation. Service Delivery Management is a holistic approach to "service" for optimizing your customers, their assets and your workforce. It is important to understand that this concept includes all aspects of the service supply chain - customer service, asset lifecycle service (including spare parts) and field service.
