In order to simplify supporting a large number of different items (e.g. software applications) SiT! has the concept of 'Products', products can be thought of as groups of skills. For example, you may support three software applications, 'Debian GNU/Linux', 'SUSE Linux' and 'Mandriva Linux' but want to offer support for all three as one product called 'Linux'.
