When organizations implement a new platform, there is a tendency to expect the technology to be customized to meet your specific needs. While customization can be an option, it often comes with challenges and costs that can impact productivity and maintenance. ServiceNow, however, offers a wide range of built-in options that can be configured to align perfectly with your business requirements–no custom code required.
As a trusted ServiceNow partner, Pathways Consulting Group understands the importance of using configuration to maximize the platform’s capabilities for each industry and organization. We advocate for institutions to leverage ServiceNow’s inherent flexibility and configurability to improve workflows, enhance efficiency, and achieve a faster realization of ROI.
Leverage configuration options
ServiceNow comes with a vast array of baseline configuration features. Before considering complex and potentially expensive customization, consider the configuration options that are already available. From form layouts and field attributes to user roles and permissions, ServiceNow supports a flexible framework that aligns with your organization’s specific requirements. With Pathways, our consultants will leverage these built-in options when implementing the program. This allows you to tailor ServiceNow to your unique workflows, ensuring optimal efficiency and seamless integration with existing processes.
Identify and prioritize business requirements
Before you begin configuring the platform, you need to know what the end goal is. Conduct a thorough analysis of your workflows, challenges, and desired outcomes. Identify areas where you expect you will require assistance. This will allow you to focus your configuration efforts on areas with the most significant impact on your workflow efficiency and organization. By aligning the ServiceNow support services Pathways’ offers and built-in configuration abilities with your priorities, you can create a tailored solution that optimizes productivity and enhances overall performance.
