Business Considerations
When implementing Service/Support Management, you must decide if you need to track an installed base. If you decide to track an installed base, you must further consider:
How detailed should the installed base records be?
What is the relationship between the installed base and service call policy?
Your answers to these questions affect many other business decisions.
