Has anyone tried (or is anyone) attempting to model their Epic platform according to the CSDM?

Just curious if anyone out there has taken a crack at modeling their Epic platform according to the Common Services Data Model (CSDM)?

I attended the "Applying the CSDM" session at K19 given by Scott Lemm (CSDM Product Manager at SN), and was intrigued how we'd model Epic (particularly in the Service Portfolio Management module after the updates coming in New York). Also, in light of this recent post and the comments from Scott, we're wondering if we would treat Epic as a "platform use case" that he talks about.

Anywho, just curious what folks thoughts are. If you're doing it already, looking at doing it, etc. I included a couple of quick sketches we did (didn't have an orange marker handy for the infrastructure CIs, but hopefully the idea is clear with green and blue as services & business). Would love to know what folks have tried themselves or what your support teams are thinking.

The only real difference between the two is the level of granularity we have around service offerings. I suspect this may be customer dependent on how granular folks want to do things like availability, etc. around offerings. 


*PS, we're aware of the UNC on-demand webinar around Epic & SN ITOM, but that was quite some time ago and it seems that the CSDM is bringing some significant changes.

Hello Chad,

We're using the Epic modules as the business applications. We also create Agile products to match so we can track our development work for each of the modules.  I'd be happy to schedule some time to chat about it.  Etta

Yes, please! That would be fantastic.  I'll connect with you via linkedin.

Perfect. 🙂

In this ITBM Office Hours: https://youtu.be/UJjU7vOL0DY?t=1752, the presenter very briefly mentions that ServiceNow is creating an Example/Use Case for CSDM as it relates to Epic. It's then mentioned that it will be available in December. I'm looking forward to seeing what they create as we are starting that exact process right now.

Abny word on this? We are about to start a brand new implementation of ServiceNow and would like to see if there is anything available.
