ServiceNow Fundamentals: What is ServiceNow?
Answering the question, “What is ServiceNow?” can be complex, so it may help to liken it to an iPhone. To a photographer, an iPhone could be a miniature camera, while it may be a pocket-sized recording device to a musician. The same can be said about ServiceNow.
If you ask a customer service agent, they might tell you that ServiceNow is a ticketing tool with the ability to record and resolve customer requests and problems. Meanwhile, someone on the IT platform support team might describe ServiceNow as a configuration management tool that keeps track of software and hardware infrastructure. The development team on the other hand might tell you it’s a cloud-based development environment with tools and workflows that solve business problems. Others will describe ServiceNow as an enterprise database, request catalogue or knowledge management platform. The truth is – they’re all correct.
Now that it’s clear that ServiceNow has different use cases depending on the customer persona or the enterprise, let’s take a deeper dive into the ins-and-outs of the ServiceNow platform.
ServiceNow is a cloud-based technology platform
ServiceNow is a cloud-based technology platform, which means organizations don’t need to purchase hardware or software to connect to the service and leverage its benefits. They can simply connect to the cloud using a web browser or mobile device.
Since ServiceNow takes care of the infrastructure for organizations, they don’t need to worry about things like scalability, security, load balancing or data backups. This allows organizations to focus on higher value tasks.
ServiceNow launched with a comprehensive understanding of the bottlenecks faced by thousands of IT companies across the globe in a variety of industries. They noted how IT was being used to solve business problems and increase productivity, and by taking stock of what worked well and what didn’t, they built their cloud-based technology to deliver IT solutions. The ServiceNow platform is based upon best practices and common lessons learned, and is a cloud-based solution implemented by organizations worldwide.
With the importance and complexity of this cloud-based technology platform, sourcing the top ServiceNow talent and the right talent for your project is more important than ever before.
