Good Morning

 

I've been administering ServiceNow since 2009!  And were just now getting around to implementing Asset Management properly.  Sadly, we've been 'doing' Asset Management in our CMDB.  It's time to unwind the damage and do it right.

 

This is my 4th Knowledge event.  And my 10th visit to Vegas (or 11?)

Hello, I'm Tim. I started working with Servicenow last August helping to get our Proof Of Value setup so that we could get approval from leadership to purchase it. I have been the primary Servicenow Administrator ever since. I have been responsible for designing and implementing the functionality of the system, troubleshooting it,  and managing our outside consultants for some of the more difficult to complete tasks such as integration with our DMS system.

 

 I hope to get an understanding of best practices for HAM because we will be implementing CMDB and then hardware asset management.
