## What Is a Service Catalog?
What Is a Service Catalog? Service Catalog a structured, user-facing list of all live IT services available to an organization, including descriptions, service levels, costs, and how to request each service. The service catalog serves as the "menu" of what IT offers to the business.

## Why This Matters for Your Business
Without a service catalog, users don't know what IT can do for them — leading to ad-hoc requests, unclear expectations, and inconsistent service delivery. A well-maintained catalog empowers self-service, sets clear expectations, and helps IT demonstrate the breadth of value it provides.
