Abstract

A system, method, and apparatus for service request management are disclosed. An example method includes receiving service data from an information source and selecting a source data model that is associated with the information source, the source data model being configured to specify how the service data in a first format from the information source is to be mapped to data fields of a generic service data model. The example method also includes creating a service data entry of the generic service data model by applying the determined source data model to the service data and storing the service data into data fields of the service data entry. The example method further includes selecting a service provider based on the service data within the data fields of the service data entry and transmitting a service request message to the service provider including at least some of the service data.
