worked in various sectors and in various countries, one overw...
ATF is mostly associated to testing, but you can also do performance
testing! You can read about those features in the official docs here.
This is mega, because if the platform is slow, users will hat...

One of the most recurring challenges I’ve seen across large-scale
ServiceNow programs is how operational excellence tends to fade once the
platform stabilizes.The first few months after go-live are fu...
Here’s a breakdown of how we technically implemented a Centralized
Outbound API Maintenance module in ServiceNow — the same one that
finally ended those 2 AM manual retries and “who re-sent that paylo...

If you’ve ever built or reviewed a solution architecture diagram for a
ServiceNow implementation, you know it’s more than just boxes and
arrows. It’s a visual story—a snapshot of how the proposed solu...
Putting together a timeline for a ServiceNow implementation might not be
rocket science, but it’s definitely more than just picking dates and
stacking tasks. Over the years, I’ve learned that timeline...
One of the most common asks I get as a Solution Architect is to estimate
the level of effort (LOE) for a ServiceNow implementation. Usually, this
comes right after the scope has been defined—or at lea...
Should you push your code to GitHub? How the IDE will help indirectly
boost the security of your platform Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked
across various organisations – Government, Banking, Legal ...
I previously tasked myself with using the IDE more, looking into Fluent,
and ultimately getting reactJS working in servicenow. Then I put that

When loading (importing) data into the platform it is highly recommended
to use the ImportSet API, if the import has to be triggered by a 3rd
party system.By doing so you, you need to configure "REST ...
If you’ve ever been asked to build a resource plan for a ServiceNow
