A SPRINGBOARD TO SUCCESS

Efficiency. Agility. Consistency. Whether users are business stakeholders, employees, customers or IT professionals, they all want an enterprise service experience that helps them achieve the most in the least time.

At Computacenter, we help organisations seize the Now Platform from ServiceNow opportunity. We define requirements, design processes, implement solutions, monitor performance and provide ongoing support.

From answering customer queries and resolving IT incidents to simplifying operations and integrating your security portfolio with a single platform that prioritises incidents and impact-based vulnerability, the Now Platform consolidates and automates enterprise service management across the entire business.

Delivered as a cloud-based solution that captures data once and re-uses it across the platform, the Now Platform not only streamlines processes and optimises performance but also helps control costs.

By optimising enterprise service management, organisations can replace manual tasks with automated workflows; augment traditional platforms with digital channels; and prioritise their resource and their response. They can achieve a step-change within both IT and business service disciplines.

Through a single system of engagement and optimised support processes, the Now Platform enables a richer user experience and helps to unlock competitive advantage.

SOLUTION SUMMARY

Smarter enterprise service management can help increase

employee productivity and boost competitive advantage

With 73% of organisations planning to increase their focus on the user support experience1 in the future, delivering proactive and flexible services will soon become a differentiator in the workplace and beyond.

END-TO-END SERVICE

Realise the full potential of the ServiceNow ecosystem with faster adoption and greater utilisation

REINVENT SERVICE MANAGEMENT The Now Platform is not a single solution, it’s an ecosystem of integrated tools that is constantly evolving thanks to real-time analytics and new business applications.

At Computacenter, we enable users and organisations to leverage this ecosystem, not only accelerating adoption but also optimising and extending existing implementations.

We provide support at every stage of the lifecycle. We navigate the procurement of licences. We test and implement builds. We enable integrations. And we manage the platform.

Our services continue long after the initial rollout; our experts can also assist with ongoing platform management and the introduction of additional modules as part of a roadmap for continuous improvement.

We enable customers to tap into a wealth of expertise not just for transforming IT service management but also other functions, such as cloud services, customer support, and security and IT operations.

With 44% of organisations wanting to increase their use of ITSM tools and processes in non-IT business units, our cross-function experience of the Now

Platform helps to reduce complexity and costs and enable a holistic approach to service delivery.

Our experience is founded on lessons learned from hundreds of customer engagements. We draw on this heritage to help organisations understand and overcome the technical and cultural challenges that can come with transforming service management. We simplify change. We shorten timelines. And we deliver tangible results.

With service management skills increasingly in short supply, Computacenter provides expert advice and flexible solutions to help customers optimise their Now Platform processes and implementation.

With Now Platform implementations often expanding to additional teams and business functions, we ensure software agreements remain compliant and consistent. We review entitlements. We reconcile licences. We manage renewals. We help to maximise utilisation while minimising the cost and complexity of the lifecycle for an evolving cloud-based solution.

ImplementationOur skilled consultants leverage a tried and tested methodology based on the ServiceNow Adaptive Implementation Framework to reduce risk and accelerate timelines. From analysing service management processes and building integrations to conducting user testing and developing transition plans, we support customers through the key implementation stages. We use a combination of workshops, show and tell sessions, and e-learning solutions to ensure users are involved in this critical phase of the Now Platform lifecycle.

TransformationComputacenter combines its consultancy, delivery and training expertise to help organisations exploit the full potential of the Now Platform. Applicable to organisations already using or planning to use the Now Platform, our transformation services help to prioritise future developments, optimise processes, and address performance issues.
