A couple of releases back, IFS introduced Next-Generation Service Management (a.k.a. Request Management or NGSM). While the primary focus of Enterprise Service Management (“ESM”, which was already available in Apps 8/9/10) was the service of company-owned equipment, NGSM was developed to better support customer service processes, remove unneeded complexity, and address additional scenarios (such as offering a service for a generic model, not a serialized asset, which is often required in B2C scenarios).
To help the community better understand NGSM and how it compares to ESM, I have created the below document. Just like IFS Cloud - Scheduling demystified (23R1) | IFS Community this is NOT an official IFS document, however it was created in collaboration with R&D.
If you have corrections, feedback, ideas - please do share so we can incorporate them.
