What Is ServiceNow IT Service Management?

IT Service Management (ITSM) refers to all of the processes a company uses to design, create, manage, and implement information technology services for its users. As a customer-centric approach to IT service, ITSM solutions empower users to resolve IT issues independently, increase the IT team’s efficiency, mitigate IT risks, and reduce IT operating costs. 

What Is ServiceNow ITSM? 

ServiceNow ITSM is a robust solution built to transform the impact, speed, and delivery of IT through a single cloud-based platform.

The product allows businesses to consolidate their systems into one powerful solution on the Now Platform to increase productivity, achieve new insights, and deliver services that amaze end-users.

 

Why Does Your Business Need ServiceNow ITSM?

If your business utilizes any type of technology, whether it is as simple as providing laptops to your staff or as complex as space exploration, integrating modern ITSM solutions into your IT workflows can significantly impact company efficiency and productivity. 

 

For example, imagine you hire a new Director of Operations. During their onboarding process, you have them log in to their new work email, which your remote IT staff set up last week. Your new employee notices their name is misspelled in their email address. What should they do next? IT has already set up several software accounts with this incorrect email address and other staff members are already sending your employee emails. 

Without a modern and efficient ITSM process in place, fixing this blunder can quickly become a frustrating process where your new employee spends more time trying to resolve the issue with IT, than meeting their new colleagues and getting to work. But with ServiceNow ITSM, automated workflows and machine learning technology could correct the email issue before their lunch hour (and prevent it from happening again), saving your new employee and IT staff time, money, and headache.
