As businesses embrace digital transformation and automation, IT processes across departments are first to get automated and facilitate these services. For most businesses, ServiceNow is the platform to turn to for their IT Service Management (ITSM) needs, making it the undisputed leader in the ITSM segment. In fact, in 2022, Gartner has named ServiceNow as a Leader in the ITSM Magic Quadrant for the 9th consecutive year. However, the ServiceNow platform offers a wide variety of solutions that can be used to increase the value of business functions beyond core ITSM and specifically in Enterprise Service Management (ESM).
ITSM implementation is a continuous strategy, businesses must periodically evaluate performances to identify and resolve inefficiencies and redundancies. Many routine maintenance tasks can now be automated allowing service delivery teams to focus on more strategic work. Every business has specific needs, ServiceNow ITSM modules can be modified to meet them. Tools such as ServiceNow Flow Designer and ServiceNow IntegrationHub can be used to build and customize the modules as per the business’s requirements. Businesses must be prepared to scale ITSM to meet their growing demands.
Some of the ServiceNow modules that should be adopted after successful implementation of ITSM, and its maintenance strategy include:
