ServiceNow Now Platform Primary Use Case

Chris Longland - PeerSpot reviewer
Devops Support and Guidance at Queensland Government

We use the solution for work management and support. Depending on the problem, I use it for ticket management, lodging, or resolving internet requests. We use it mostly internally. There's not much integration at this point. We did a proof of concept for the business on the integration with Azure DevOps for release management. Most of the management is done through Azure DevOps. The incidents and bugs are logged in ServiceNow and then transferred across.

I use the solution in my company to handle ticketing for each of our departments with different workgroups.

The IT service desk handles a specific workgroup and tries to resolve the issues of such a workgroup considering the SLAs or based on the priority level defined in the ticket raised by the user.

Solution Architecture at Accenture

As a solution architect and developer working on service management and HR, many of my projects cover the development of modules for

  • operations management,
  • project management,
  • finance management,
  • resource management, 
  • governance,
  • risk and compliance,

and more, typically within the sphere of business management in general.

For me and my team, ServiceNow Now Platform has many capabilities that we  leverage to bring solutions to the problem statements in these areas, mainly according to agile methodology.

If we are required, for example, to extend an application to external or internal users of your company, we would use ServiceNow to help with this process. Specifically, in this case, we would use HRSD (HR Service Delivery) which interlinks all of your own employees, external users, and others. The CSM part of ServiceNow aids in linking all your business services that are being used by service providers and everyone else, and it enables you to derive your own organizational service management structure exactly as you want it.

ServiceNow also provides a powerful system that gives you ample information on what has broken and where, and offers plenty of solutions for fixing those things, particularly when it comes to orchestration, which really extends your capability for automation. You could say that it brings a sort of intelligence into your organization with its various features and functionalities. 

Having implemented ServiceNow Now Platform for many global clients with millions of users over the years, I have seen it in use across vendors, former resources, internal resources, external resources, and amongst these in many different ways and through many different applications.

Our standard deployment environment nowadays is via the cloud, and we don't keep anything on-premise. However, I have previously implemented ServiceNow Now Platform on-premises during the initial stages of working with ServiceNow in the banking sector where we deployed it on-premise, but they eventually never released it. This work mainly involved the ITSM and operations part of ServiceNow Now Platform.

We also utilize ServiceNow to help take care of cloud and asset management, such as when dealing with the licensing for Azure, Amazon Web Services, and so on. Then there's the work I've done with ServiceNow Security Operations, which involved using various SecOps modules for security incidents, etc., and which required integrations with tools such as Tanium, Splunk, and Azure Security Management. Here we used ServiceNow to generate the events, security incident alerts, and more, and currently we still have remediation tasks being completed in ServiceNow, where the risk assessment features and other solutions are in place to orchestrate everything.

I use ServiceNow Now Platform in my company as it is a tremendous product, and in our organization, we refer to it as a platform of platforms because it offers a lot of offerings in a single platform. It covers ITSM, ITOM, and ITIL. The tool also provides strategic portfolio management modules that help organizations use it as an agile project management tool and enterprise architecture tool, making it a very easy product to use. It is a single platform that provides multi-purpose offerings that help organizations see their entire landscape and GRC.

ServiceNow has evolved beyond just a service desk. They offer configurable workflows that are applicable to multiple parts of the business, putting them closer to something like Salesforce Lightning, where many custom solutions can be built. 

We use it for workflow management within certain business functions, and some customers use it across their operations and engineering lifecycles. It's a pretty good tool.

Our customers use the IT service management solution to manage their organizations' HR activities. They also use the HRSD feature to integrate with other solutions, such as ColdFusion or SuccessFactors. The solution's UI/UX is robust; thus, customers engage with it. They can find out how many rates their products have and how their portals appear to get an overview. The solution allows the users to analyze the number of customers.

Archietect and delivery manager at Axians

Currently, I work with ITSM and HR modules in ServiceNow, with some integrations with other third-party solutions, and the core of my experience is based on that.

For example, my recent project is related to HR, and we are helping the customer define all the HR processes based on the customer's requirements. We have managed all the cases in the organization for 120,000 users. It's a global client in the world, and we are responsible for creating and defining all the processes to manage all the cases in the organization.

In HR, we are across all the features of the HR model. We have created the portals for each one of the countries in the customer and all the service catalogs. After that, for particular customer processes, we are using HR to define them and implement them in that firm.

We use the solution for workflows. We'll build custom workflows and key and ticket queues. It's used to cover data center needs - everything from 800-number incoming calls to full outage and incident reporting. It handles a lot of aspects, including shipping and receiving as well as property management workflows. It's being used as a client-facing workflow system.

MK
ServiceNow Technical Consultant - PPM and HR at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees

I am actually a development expert within the ServiceNow platform. So I implemented ServiceNow for some of our customers as well as within our company. I help them to implement some applications customers and configure what they need from the suite of management applications available within ServiceNow.  

The most important thing we use this solution for is IT service management where users implement processes like incident management, problem management, or chain management. Incident management and problem management at its simplest can be a system whereby any user in an organization can report a defect. Say I am a user and my email is not working and I want to raise a ticket to get the problem solved. I use ServiceNow for raising that ticket. Another example is that if I want to implement new software, I need may need to raise a change request, so I do that in ServiceNow. 

We are always on the latest version. There is a new version every six months, so there are two releases every year. That means every time there is a new release I have to upgrade, update my knowledge about the changes by becoming familiar with the changes, and then we have to upgrade the program for the customers as well.

We have customers that we are assisting with this solution, and we are also using it internally.

We are providing and using ServiceNow as a KSA hosted solution on our cloud (DETASAD SAHABA), not the SaaS model and that therefore we are offering it for our clients as a world-class product fully compliant with Saudi security regulations with all data remaining is Saudi Arabia. ServiceNow is an integral part of our service solutions and all our clients benefit from it.

We have two modules. We have the ITSM and the WFM. The WFM is not activated yet, and I am working on implementing this.

Currently, we are only using the incident ticket request functionality. We are implementing the request for equipment, change management, and other request forms.

Technical Architect at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees

Our primary use cases for ServiceNow Now Platform include use incident management, problem management, case management, and our asset management. 

It's not used much for the business management part of it, though it's being assessed for it. We have other tools to manage that. In my organization we have the scenario where we will integrate with a couple of other tools which we have already purchased, which are used for the information management part of it. These will be integrated with this Now Platform. 

Another area which is currently being looked into but not yet implemented, is the compliancy part. They might go for it in future. One more thing is the security part. Though it is not yet being employed that much, it has a lot of interest. I can see a lot interest in this area. At times there is strategic interest in digitalization, so we might look into the analytics. There are more improved analytics features which are coming with the new versions of ServiceNow, which are also interesting.

It's a very comprehensive platform. So, really, you can do anything with it that requires integration with other systems, as well as build bespoke applications on the platform itself. 

It's not just limited to service management; you can actually build your own applications.
