It thus defines business needs and the providers response to those needs. Service Portfolio clarifies or helps clarify the following questions. Why should a customer buy these services? Why should they buy these services from us? What are the pricing or chargeback models? What are our strengths and weaknesses, priorities and risk?

Another provider has a different slogan of, Fair and Flexible.Question : By looking at utility and warranty, What are the dimensions of value promoted by each slogan?Case 1*116Some time in the late 1990s, a financial service company launched a direct banking service. Service offered internet-based savings and loans service.After 8 days, the company received almost 2 million website hits and over one hundred thousand enquiries. After five weeks the demand was so high that the company started to warn customers of delays up to 28 days.Question : As the Chief Information Officer, what do you suspect is the problem?Case 2*117Some time in 2001, a massive global network security services provider lost a major customer contract due to quality concerns materially affecting their revenues and profits.Senior Executives demanded that something be done either cutting the cost or find a replacement customer.While looking for a replacement customer, service operations reduced cost. Thus service quality was impacted, leading to the departure of three recently acquired customers, further negatively impacting revenues and profits.Senior executives once again demanded something be done, either cutting of cost or find a replacement customer.Question : As Chief Information Officer, what is your response to this problem?Case 3*118The slogan Can you hear me now?, differentiates value based on a customer desire for WARRANTY : Thus the service is available regardless of location.The slogan Fair and Flexible differentiates value based on the customers desire for UTILITY : Getting fair pricing under a great variety of different service usage scenarios.Case 1*116 As it turns out the constraint was not infrastructure, capacity or availability related but it was a short coming inthe form of 250 staff members. Once 250 people was hired the company went on to win over 500,000 new customers and 5 Billion in deposits in less than 6 months. Thus the performance of services are limited by either the limits in its resources or capabilities, or simply its own potential.Case 2*117The solution : Suspend new sales.Even though this comes a surprise, the CIO understood:Your service operation were caught in a vicious cycle with disastrous long term consequences.Customers were leaving due to a strategic weakness.By refocusing staff and budget on service operations, the organization repaired its quality capabilities for remaining customers and the customer churn was stopped.Thus the solution while painful in the short term allowed the company to break the vicious cycle and pave a long term strategy for regaining customers.Case 3*118Fit for PurposeIncreases Performance AverageUtilityFit For UseReduce Performance VariationWarrantyProvide a strategy for vertically integrating and coordination of the dedicated assets required for product development.Value ChainWeb of relationships that generates value through complex exchanges through 2 or more organizationsValue NetworkSingle source of consistent information on all servicesService CatalogThe Service Portfolio represents the commitments and investments made by a service provider across all customers and market spaces.
