....and with that, I am looking to upgrade our aging SMS SP2 to SCCM...I need to get moving, we've already bought the licensing! Problem is I didn't set up our SMS environment - I inherited it - so am not sure the best way to attack it...

Service Manager is a new product unto itself which has gone through many different major iterations while in development. Keep in mind that SM was being worked on prior to System Center being around. The fact that the team started out working in an SMS world and ended up in a SCCM/SCOM world is a testament to what they had to go through to get the product out the door. Personally, I am very glad they waited to release it until it was really worthy of going public, I think that is why you hear the sentiments about System Center being one of the best products MS has ever produced.

It's one of those products that does a lot out of the box, but, if you can wrap your head around the whole thing you can customize it to do nearly anything.

If you are familiar with SCOM (or maybe even if you're not), it's quite easy to get it up and running. I've been very impressed so far. Not sure if it's exactly what you're after, but it does make a nice central point for tasks, work items - and for keeping auditors fairly happy.
