After ITSM Module , another important module is HRSD (Human Resources Service Delivery), which helps organizations automate and manage HR-related services for employees. HRSD provides capabilities such as employee case management, HR service catalogs, knowledge management for HR policies, and onboarding or offboarding processes. This allows employees to easily request HR services like leave approvals, employment verification letters, or onboarding tasks through a centralized portal.
ServiceNow also offers GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance), which helps organizations manage risks, maintain compliance with regulations, and enforce internal policies. GRC includes capabilities such as risk management, policy and compliance management, and audit management, allowing organizations to identify risks, track compliance requirements, and manage audits efficiently.
Another powerful module is ITOM (IT Operations Management), which focuses on managing and monitoring IT infrastructure. ITOM includes features such as Discovery, which automatically identifies devices and infrastructure in a network, Service Mapping, which maps business services to underlying infrastructure components, Event Management, which detects and manages system alerts, and Operational Intelligence, which uses analytics and AI to predict potential issues before they impact services.
