Anyone interested in System Center Service Manager 2012, is likely to find interesting new
Service Manager Cookbook, published by Packt Publishing and written by several MVPs and MCT, the experts in this field. Since Service Manager 2012 is much more than just another product from the System Center family, and you definitely can’t just click it through, it is more than advisable to consult the literature of this type before entering the stage of planning and deployment. The book therefore begins with the story of a rather non-technical ITSM Framework and processes, ITIL, Asset Management, Service Request, Incident and Problem Management and the IT Service Desk processes and operations. The first chapter ends with a discussion of service level management, which is a very important component. The rest of the book is divided into 11 chapters and two appendices, deals with the administration and configuration of Service Manager 2012, from the standpoint of its individual components and resources they manage, but also on the processes that are carried out within a manageable IT infrastructure. It ends with a chapter on the automation of processes through the Service Manager which is probably what everyone aspires. Very valuable source of information, I recommended this!

Seems like great title. System Center in previous editions was not so easy to implement I like the change in new version and I think its good and expect from this book to deliver in terms of not only “how to” but also in guidelines in terms of framework and processes that are prerequisite to implementation of this product.
Best Regards,
I hope to implement something from System Center 2012 very soon.
best regards,
Indira
