## Service Portfolio Management Taxonomy
Content Pack {#SPM2-administration__section_wp2_snq_g3b}

You can also activate the Service Portfolio Management Taxonomy Content Pack plugin
\[com.snc.spm.content\]. This plugin contains demo data and provides sample taxonomy metadata,
complete with portfolio, taxonomy layers, and nodes. Users can view services and service
offerings, including related items, such as SLAs, incidents, changes, and more as a
demonstration.

Portfolio managers benefit from the Service Portfolio Management Taxonomy Content
Pack because it provides a useful example of how service portfolios and services are constructed
within the application. This example results in faster modeling of an organization's service
portfolio. Also, often portfolio managers must quickly provide the organization an example of a
portfolio structure to accelerate decision making regarding business approach.
