An IT manager whose primary function is to maintain a close relationship with individual business representatives in order to promote the services IT can offer, to ensure that IT is satisfying the business needs of the customer and to explore new services that IT might offer the customer. Organisationally, Account Management responsibilities are often separated from Service Level Management responsibilities when individual customers receive multiple services from IT which do not have a common owner, or when Service Level Management is perceived as purely operational responsibility, without authority or responsibility for service development.
