Suppliers

Concepts

A supplier consists of an end-point system and its properties to enable integration with Service Manager Service Portal. Examples of suppliers are:

  • Provider systems
  • Fulfillment systems
  • Ticketing systems

For example, a supplier can be added for an Service Manager (SM) system, and then the supplier's offerings can be imported into Service Manager Service Portal.

Suppliers are associated with organizations, and the Organization Administrator manages the supplier systems for his organization.
