ServiceNow is the leading enterprise cloud-based SaaS application company, and the platform has been rapidly growing—faster than the number of experts who understand its workings. This is largely due to the growth of the tech economy in recent years. Technology has become more prevalent throughout the decade, especially since the pandemic, as companies across the world were forced to adopt it in droves. With more and more organizations embracing this change, the growth of IT management systems has also blossomed. Because these systems have become more relevant in today’s workforce, businesses are scrambling to find a partner service that can help them get the most from the ServiceNow platform. Partners assist with implementation and setting up other essential facets of the program, but to get the best possible experience, it’s critical to partner with a ServiceNow Elite Partner. Elite status can deliver several advantages that other types of partners don’t have access to. Below, we highlight how an Elite Partner like Pathways Consulting Group can help your organization work better, smarter, and faster.
What is a ServiceNow Elite Partner?
The ServiceNow platform has a rigorous set of Elite Partner certification requirements that must be met to retain this status. ServiceNow utilizes a global partner ecosystem in which partners are segmented into Partner Tiers and given designations according to their achievements in the ServiceNow ecosystem. When granting these designations, ServiceNow considers a few factors like:
- Capacity
- Competency
- Customer success
- Capability
An Elite Partner differs from any other ServiceNow partner in many ways; they help with implementation but also go above and beyond that and serve several additional purposes. An Elite Partner demonstrates expertise in five or more ServiceNow products across IT, Employee Experience, and Customer Service workflows and has established operations across multiple locations. They also exhibit a diversity of implementation experience, a history of several large successful enterprise-scale implementations, and demonstrate exceptional ServiceNow support and customer satisfaction scores.
Elite Partner benefits
If you’re considering working with an Elite Partner, they are proven in the following areas:
Platform experience
Your organization’s core business is probably not ServiceNow related, and that’s okay! With an Elite Partner, ServiceNow is their business. That means the project team working on your implementation will be highly experienced across the platform. ServiceNow architects and module specialists will be tasked with navigating the complex environments within the platform, all of whom have a deep understanding of ServiceNow.
Time and resources
Constant day-to-day business demands can make it incredibly challenging to pull together an internal team to work on a new implementation. An Elite Partner can assist with automating manual processes, improving workflows, and creating real-time reports and dashboards through the ServiceNow platform, which can ultimately drive results and deliver a faster realization of ROI and enterprise-wide adoption. You will save valuable man-hours and resources as your Elite Partner quotes the correct amount of time to complete a task, helps you understand the project lifecycle, and sets clear expectations for project completion.
Long-term goal alignment
Without a calculated project plan and strong architecture, it can be hard to support your long-term goals. Elite Partners deliver a lasting commitment to your organization’s success.
