Getting Started
What is Technology Provider Service Management (TPSM)?
The ServiceNow Technology Provider Service Management product was developed to meet the unique requirements of the Technology Industry. It enables a Technology Provider to streamline work across their entire service ecosystem with one platform for sales, service and support powered by AI.
TPSM begins with the ServiceNow Platform, Customer Service Management, and IT Service Management product capabilities; and then builds on additional value-add features that are purpose built for the Technology Provider. Those features include the following:
- Account Lifecycle Events Onboarding provides a purpose-built data model for enterprise account onboarding including an onboarding case type, playbook, and tailored user experiences.
- Account Lifecycle Events Customer Success provides a user experience and data model supporting a Customer Success Manager in engaging with their customers and in managing/monitoring adoption, expansion, and renewal activities.
- Service Bridge simplifies the integration of a Provider’s ServiceNow instance with their customers’ instances; enabling the Provider to easily publish catalog items and provide field-level task synchronization to their customers.
- Proactive Service Experience Workflows (PSEW) for Incident Management and Change Management enables an ITSM engineering/support persona to quickly identify accounts impacted by an incident or change, automatically generate proactive cases for those customers, and communicate bi-directionally with the customer without leaving the Service Operations Workspace.
- Proactive Service Experience Workflows Account 360 Dashboard features a Service Operations Workspace user can click on an Account name and see a view of the account details, contacts, service history, and performance across common Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
- Technology Product Support Case introduces a case type, workflows, and experiences that are purpose-built for the Technology Industry Vertical.

If I am going to move from ITSM ServiceNow to TPSM, will there be an impact to my current integrations with multiple clients. I am using Dell-boomi as middleware for these integrations.
- Any check-list or pointers to keep in mind while moving from ITSM to TPSM one.
- Is it just modifying the end-points from ITSM to TPSM
- Any changes/modifications needs to be done in customers ITSM tool as well if i am moving to TPSM like end-point changes or is it only at Dell-boomi front.

Hi -
You wouldn't be "moving" to TPSM from ITSM. The TPSM SKU includes ITSM, so upgrading to TPSM will not impact your current integrations.
The ITSM processes stay as is, but with TPSM you are now also entitled to Customer Service Management (CSM) so you should consider taking advantage of the CSM solutions and the customer data model. You will also be entitled to the additional value-add Technology Industry applications that are described in the ServiceNow Technology Provider Service Management (TPSM) Product Checklist article.
So, rather than a "move" think of it as an upgrade that entitles you to additional products and features.

Hi Phil,
I want to know if TPSM relies on Domain Separation or not.
Thank you,

Hi Sahll - No, TPSM supports Domain Separation, but it does not require it. TPSM adds a set of value add technology provider features on top of our horizontal CSM product. Take a look at the product checklist found here for an overview.
