Business services are intangible goods that businesses require to operate and deliver value to customers. They do not involve the production of a physical product and range from infrastructure services such as power generation, to advisory services like corporate financing and top level strategy such as mergers and acquisitions.
These include design services such as graphic design, facility management, and information technology (IT) support; banking and insurance services; communication and warehousing; human resources; and utilities and other infrastructure. The services industry is one of the largest and fastest growing sectors in the economy, and it includes a broad range of different industries. These industries provide valuable products and services for other businesses to help them run their operations, increase productivity, and create new opportunities for themselves.
To add a business service to the Favorites list, click the star icon to the right of the business service name on the Business Services page. When the service is added to the Favorites list, it will be displayed at the top of the Business Services page by default. It will also be included in the multi-sort function. You can also add and remove business services from the Favorites list at any time.
Sometimes a business service requires multiple technical services to function, but the underlying components may not be deemed critical to its operation. In such cases, the business service will appear on a status dashboard even though some of the supporting technical services are experiencing outages or other incidents.
