Built on **TM Forum Open APIs**, it enables organizations to standardize and automate service delivery workflows across satellite, media, telecom, and IT domains. + +Deploy Service Management to replace manual service tracking, eliminate coordination gaps between ordering and delivery teams, and gain real-time visibility into your live service inventory. + +## Key Features + +- **Design service specifications** — define reusable end-to-end service templates, including required components, workflows, and configuration parameters. +- **Automate service ordering** — create and track service orders manually or via TM Forum-compatible APIs, with full lifecycle state management. +- **Maintain a live service inventory** — view all active services, their current state, and the underlying xOps workflows or SRM bookings that deliver them. +- **Integrate with MediaOps** — use MediaOps as the reservation and orchestration layer for service item components within each service. +- **Support multi-domain use cases** — cover satellite, media & broadcast, telecom, and IT service types from a single unified framework. + +## Use Cases + +- **A broadcast operator** uses Service Management to define satellite uplink service specifications once and then fulfil recurring event-based orders automatically via TM Forum APIs, reducing manual handoffs between sales, engineering, and operations. +- **A telecommunications provider** tracks the full lifecycle of fixed-line service orders — from customer request through activation and assurance — with real-time status updates reflected in the Service Inventory. +- **An IT operations team** manages software and infrastructure service requests end-to-end using the Service Ordering Portal, ensuring every request is linked to a specification, tracked through delivery, and recorded in inventory. + +## Prerequisites + +- **MediaOps** version 1.2.3 or higher — deployable directly from the [DataMiner Catalog](https://catalog.dataminer.services/details/1b67a623-4ca6-4d25-8b3d-ed4e39496a75) +- **DataMiner version**: *(manual action required — add both Feature Release and Main Release version numbers here)* + +## Technical Reference + +For detailed documentation, integration guides, and API specifications, refer to the [DataMiner documentation](https://docs.dataminer.services).
