Hello,

We plan to move from SNOW to serviceNow SAM. I need to write high level plan for this migration. We currently use serviceNow as ITSM tool, just need to activate the SAM pro module.

Please can someone help me out with what to consider in my project plan?

Thanks,

Bola

Hi Bola,

My name is Jerome Bomengo and I lead the pre-sales team for SAM here at ServiceNow. Have you spoken to your account team yet about this? SAM Pro is a paid module and I want to make sure you're successful with migrating from SNOW. Please feel free to reach out to me at jerome.bomengo@servicenow.com and I'd be happy to speak with you about the migration.

Bola,

I work as a SAM Practitioner at ServiceNow and have deployed SAM Professional many times. The key elements of a project plan are identifying and migrating your purchased entitlements and contracts from Snow. Also, do not underestimate organisational readiness - many of our customers don't have a mature SAM organization at the time of purchasing a SAM Pro subscription and in my view, this is the hardest part of any implementation.

Hi Mike,

I understand that if existing customer is using old SAM plugin, there are migration activities required when enable SAM foundation or SAM pro. Do you have any suggestions of the steps required/ task in order to migrate from old SAM to SAM foundation or SAM Pro? Is there any documentation on this that you could point me to?
