BACKGROUND

A leading global materials company, with over $4B in revenue, has recently completed the service provider selection process covering the following areas: IT Infrastructure & Operations (I&O), Information Security and SAP Application Management Services. A Global Service Provider has been awarded all four I&O towers covering Managed Service Provider, Managed Workplace Services, Managed Hosting Services and Managed Network Services. In preparation for a complete carve-out of these services, company has initiated a program to first establish a Service Desk and implement ServiceNow as the foundation for the future service delivery model. It was envisioned that other services would then be migrated to this platform throughout 2019. This effort was started by standing up a “lite” version of the Service Desk to support the implementation of the company’s Intranet.

GOALS

  • Ensure that ITSM tools were configured to provide agility and automation into the support lifecycle, with minimal to no customizations, while adhering to corporate and industry standards and compliance
  • Make certain that the Voice of the Customer was built into the support model by adopting new technologies, communication practices and multi-language requirements where possible
  • Consult and ensure the build out of the new ServiceNow platform to supports the business, not just IT
