- Application Monitoring – Citrix Load Testing – IT Optimization Tools – Business Service Management (BSM) is a method for monitoring IT services so that its use, benefits and improvisation can be understood from a business perspective. The technology of BSM hence intersects IT with business. By using Business Service Management solutions, the IT department can understand how its investment, its infrastructure and its technology benefit the business. Business Service Management hence tracks, monitors, manages and views the investment and operational part of the information technology to make sure that they are in the interests of business.
