There have been a number of blog posts and articles about the Microsoft HTLM5 Self-Service Portal for System Center Service Manager (SCSM). This blog post covers some of the ones we have found useful.

Donato Pasqualicchio from Microsoft and the Service Manager community has published a few blog posts that provide details on how you can customize UI to your liking.
