# Service Catalog considerations

Consider these points while implementing the CSDM framework.

-   The Product Catalog builds on the Service Catalog. Product catalogs specify the product models that are available for use. Product-specific attributes are captured in each catalog item. You can create product catalogs for each type of products in your portfolio.

-   You can create catalog types that reflect the types of offered products and services.
