Issues covered include Service Level Management, Financial Management for IT Services, IT Service Continuity Management, Availability Management, Contingency Planning and Capacity Management. Each component of service delivery is discussed separately in the book. The purpose of Service Delivery is to show the links and the principal relationships between all the Service Management and other Infrastructure Management processes.
