-Service operation encompasses the day-to-day activities, processes, and infrastructure that are responsible for delivering value to the business through technology. Just as most people expect the lights to turn on at every flick of a switch, business users have become completely dependent on the capabilities that IT services enable. Think of service operation as a [[Managed Service Provider (MSP)|managed service provider]] or a utility company responsible for providing the power that [[Customer|customers]] need to do their jobs. Without electricity, many activities would come to a halt. Further, without the processes to ensure the delivery of that electricity, the service would be unreliable. Utility companies must also be proactive, for example, trimming trees to prevent outages from falling branches that may sever electric lines. Customers don’t care about all the required resources (e.g., people, [[process]], and [[Technology|technology]]) involved in delivering electricity to their homes. They just want reliable service when they need it and at a fair cost.<ref>Explaining ITIL Service Operation [bmc.com/blogs/itil-service-operation/ BMC]</ref>
