BSM: Welcome to Basic Service Management

This is pragmatic, real-world service management: the practices involved in running a business as seen from a services perspective.

We'd like to say 'simple' but service management can only simplified so far. “Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler.” So we say "Basic".

Service management is for anyone who provides a service, or who sells a product (because in this day and age all products had better come with service).
