The document discusses how service management best practices used in IT can be applied more broadly at CERN, a large particle physics research organization. It provides context on CERN, including its missions, facilities like the Large Hadron Collider, and challenges. It describes CERN's service management environment, covering many different types of services across the organization. It outlines the project to implement a service management approach at CERN, including defining services, processes, and structures. The goal is to bring more maturity and efficiency to managing CERN's diverse infrastructure and services through an established framework.
