Digital transparency
Uniper’s complex international operations require user-friendly and connected IT and telecoms to respond quickly to customers and the dynamic, fast moving, and highly competitive energy markets. It wanted to achieve ‘digital transparency’, a streamlined IT environment with a shared understanding and visibility of diverse IT assets, services, and suppliers, enabling its teams to work with flexibility and agility, and for executives to create and manage an efficient, responsive, and cost-effective IT ecosystem, fit for the challenges ahead.
A platform for growth
ServiceNow was selected by Uniper to provide a transparent IT platform to optimize and integrate current and future IT Service Management processes. Multiple duplicate legacy software and systems were decommissioned, and a new global IT service desk and customized IT processes were created for the new organization. Now, the business can appreciate the role of IT in supporting teams to perform and thrive, and how vital IT data and insights can be used to improve service delivery, promote efficiencies, and ensure business continuity.

Value, efficiencies, and cost savings
Digital transparency has transformed the role and value perception of Uniper’s IT operation. Instead of a business cost, IT is contributing in new ways, delivering vital business intelligence to guide investment decisions, rationalizing and simplifying its IT asset base, and, by reducing incident volume, freeing up time for IT professionals to solve the right problems and create new, added-value solutions. Utilizing the Now Platform has contributed to annual business efficiency gains and cost savings estimated at €2 million.
Motivated and committed
“ServiceNow has delivered many benefits – our people are motivated and committed, with pride in their performance and accomplishments,” explains Evan Vafidis, Head of License Management. “Everyone can see what’s going on in the business and internal communication has improved immeasurably. By integrating diverse, specialist IT software and services on the Now Platform we’ve lived up to ‘the Uniper way’ and created, a single, coordinated, and secure approach where everyone can see how they contribute to our own success and our customers’ success too.”
