Chart a path to implementation Work with ServiceNow experts If you have chosen to work with a ServiceNow partner or ServiceNow Expert Services for your implementation, it’s important to clearly communicate the business outcomes you want to achieve and agree on a well-structured roadmap to attain these goals. If you need guidance on successfully engaging with an implementation partner, this workbook is an excellent starting point.
To accelerate time to value and reduce risk, make sure that your partner uses Now Create, ServiceNow’s library of more than 700 leading implementation practices. We also recommend you use Now Create if you are self-implementing, as it provides a wealth of assets designed to guide you to success.
If you want to work with a partner but haven’t selected one yet, check out our Partner Finder or talk to your ServiceNow account representative about ServiceNow Co-Delivery Services.
For those of you who have purchased ServiceNow Impact services you will have ServiceNow experts and resources at your fingertips to help you through your implementation and achieving your goals. If you do not have a ServiceNow Impact package, consider how having dedicated resources, discounted training, and jumpstart services can help you get the most out of your ServiceNow investment. Read more here. Self-implementation Get your implementation on track with our QuickStart guides Once you’ve decided which ITSM Pro capabilities you want to implement first, it’s time to get going.
We’ve created the following set of QuickStart guides that show you how to self-implement Performance Analytics, Predictive Intelligence, Virtual Agent, and Digital Product Release. These guides lead you through a complete implementation path, including initiating, planning, executing, delivering, and closing your implementation project.
Keep in mind that these guides are designed to support a comprehensive implementation. If you’re starting with a pilot, focus on the subset of activities in the guide that will help you to accomplish the objectives of your pilot.
And don’t forget to activate the Now Intelligence plugins on your ServiceNow instance. Additionally, we’ve created the following adoption journey guide for our DevOps Change Velocity product that details how to get started with our DevOps products. Note, this is not a detailed self-implementation guide, like above, but does provide insight into the adoption steps for DevOps Change Velocity and how you can get to value.
Build your team’s skills If you are planning to self-implement, you need to give your platform team the skills they need to succeed. The best way of doing this is to become a certified ServiceNow professional. Here’s a selection of on-demand courses to get you started.
