Application Development & Configuration
You need applications and workflow that meet the needs of your business. Businesses struggle with the backlog of legacy applications and workflow demands in their business. Building applications has traditionally been expensive and time consuming due to the complexity of the underlying platforms and the programming skills needed. Integrating and up-keep of these applications with other functions in the enterprise presents additional challenges. As a result, frustrated users are either left using inefficient, manual tools or forced to go around IT to buy a point solution.
With ServiceNow, IT admins and developers can build and deploy cloud native business applications on the ServiceNow Platform as a Service (PaaS). Developers can build powerful applications with a rich set of prebuilt services and templates. After an application is built and tested, it can be published to users with a single click. These applications can span from a single department to the entire enterprise, and may include such applications as order management, HR case management, legal request processing, and other line of business applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
The ITIL (formerly known as Information Technology Infrastructure Library) defines IT service management (ITSM) as “The implementation and management of quality IT services that meet the needs of the business. IT service management is performed by IT service providers through an appropriate mix of people, process and information technology.”
ITSM processes typically include five stages:
- Service Strategy: This stage creates the framework for your company’s IT service management building. It includes assessing the organization’s market, offerings, and competition. Then, a strategy is developed for IT services, managing the service catalog, managing budgets, and establishing a plan for demand management.
- Service Design: This stage includes the planning and designing the IT services the organization offers to meet business demands. It involves design coordination, risk management, capacity management, availability management, cyber security, and continuity management.
- Service Transition: This stage involves implementing the processes and services to ensure maximum efficiency. It may include change management and evaluation, project management, knowledge management, and service asset management.
- Service Operation: This stage involves taking all the planning and design and taking it to a live environment. It includes incident and request fulfillment management, problem management, and technical management.
- Continual Service Improvement: This stage is focused on the ongoing management and adjustments necessary to keep your IT services running at maximum efficiency. It involves IT service reviews, process evaluation, and more.
