Question 5

Given a list of Service types in the platform, drag the appropriate service to its definition.

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Within the Common Service Data Model (CSDM), service types are clearly defined to separate business- facing value, application logic, and technical enablement. Correct classification is foundational to impact analysis, ownership, reporting, and service visibility.
An Application Service is a logical representation of a deployed application or system stack. It models how an application runs, including servers, databases, middleware, and integrations. Application Services are typically created and maintained through Service Mapping and are primarily consumed by IT operations, DevOps, and support teams.
A Technology Management Service (also called a Technical Service) represents shared technical capabilities such as databases, authentication platforms, messaging systems, or cloud infrastructure. These services are published to Service Owners, not business users, and underpin one or more Application Services or Business Services. They are critical for understanding technical dependencies and risk but are not business-facing.
A Business Service is published to Business Users and directly supports business capabilities and outcomes. It represents what the business consumes , such as "Online Banking," "Order Fulfillment," or "Employee Onboarding." Business Services sit at the top of the CSDM hierarchy and are the anchor point for SLAs, experience, and value measurement.
Correctly distinguishing these service types ensures alignment with CSDM best practices, enables accurate impact analysis, and prevents common CMDB anti-patterns such as exposing technical services to business users or misrepresenting application stacks as business value.
