Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ServiceNow to submit, manage, and resolve technical issues within the bank. Employees can submit as many tickets as needed for various technical problems, as well as request software and hardware for their jobs. I am just a user of ServiceNow but I appreciate that I can submit a ticket and easily track the status of it and when it will be resolved.

Pros

  • Ticket submission.
  • Issue progress.
  • Technical issue resolving.
  • Email notifications.

Cons

  • Not super intuitive.
  • Duplicate Requests are missed.
  • Would like to have a chat function.

Return on Investment

  • Manage IT issues.
  • Log multiple tickets.
  • Comprehensive platform for entire bank.
  • Helps effectively solve hundreds of issues by prioritizing them.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ServiceNow Orchestration was used before with the ITSM tool only, last year we were using the full CSM license. This gave our customers, and also us, more usability. F.e. we were able to assign multiple incidents to a problem, but also link a change to that same problem. By using CSM, your customers have a single case number as a reference to a problem with multiple incidents and/or (a) change(s). We want to give our customer a single portal and 'click his way through his records'.

Pros

  • Linking multipe records (Knowledge Items, Problem, change,. CI) to a single incident
  • A customers 'super" user has access to all cases that are filled by them.
  • When a change is filed and you link to the CI involved. You get an overview of all CI that depends on the involved CI.

Cons

  • GUI for customers can be improved
  • Workflow designer has hick ups now and then

Return on Investment

  • pricing, but if the tool meets your requirements. Do not hesita to use it. (negative)
  • Employees have more grip on their workload (positive)
  • Good reporting possibilties
