Obtain/build is one of the six activities of the service value chain, which is a set of interconnected activities that an organization performs to deliver a valuable product or service to its consumers and to facilitate value realization1. Obtain/build activity relates with buying new products, as well as designing, developing, and testing new or changed service components2. This activity ensures that service components are available when and where they are needed and meet agreed specifications3.
