Implementation Methodology

Connecting Your Vision to Implementation

We help you identify which IT operations you want to manage with ITOM, what outcomes you hope to achieve, and how you plan to measure success. It helps in aligning the business processes and their related CIs, and creating accurate representation of the IT estate within the CMDB

Using Scale Up Approach

To avoid overwhelming teams with too much data and derailing discovery projects, we focused on the business services and associated CIs that matter most to your enterprise. We limit discovery schedules to smaller, more manageable IP ranges and validate incoming data meets expectations.

Sourcing Data Across Ecosystem

Some CI types may not be suitable for discovery using ServiceNow due to factors like security or network constraints. To overcome this, we help you assess your current toolsets and explore the possibility of using them in tandem with ServiceNow Discovery to gather additional data from these sources.

Measure and Improve

We keep monitoring the performance of ITOM and making any necessary adjustments to ensure it continues to meet your objectives and deliver the outcomes you need. This involves regular reporting and analysis, as well as ongoing training and support for end-users.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you intend to self-implement ServiceNow ITOM, it is crucial to ensure that your platform team possesses the knowledge and skills beforehand. For this reason, many ServiceNow ITOM customers opt to collaborate with a partner with ITOM implementation experience rather than attempting it themselves.

Here are a few reasons why our expertise in implementing ServiceNow ITOM is necessary:

  • Configuring and customizing the ServiceNow ITOM modules requires a deep understanding of the platform and its capabilities. Without this expertise, it can be challenging to set up and configure the modules to meet your specific requirements.
  • ITOM modules such as Discovery, Service Mapping, Event Management, and Orchestration are complex and require specialized knowledge to set up and maintain. It is important to have expertise in these modules to ensure that they are correctly configured and optimized to improve IT service delivery.
  • ServiceNow ITOM also involves integrating with other systems and tools, such as monitoring and logging tools, which can be challenging without specialized knowledge. Expertise is needed to ensure that the integrations are correctly set up and functioning optimally.
  • Lastly, ServiceNow ITOM is a critical component of IT service management and can impact the entire organization’s performance. With Aelum Consulting, you can ensure that your IT services are reliable, responsive, and aligned with your business goals.

Configuration Management Database (CMDB) in ServiceNow ITOM is a repository that stores information about the IT assets and infrastructure within an organization. It is a central location for all configuration items (CIs), which are the assets, applications, and services that comprise an IT environment.

The CMDB allows IT teams to manage and track CIs, their relationships, and dependencies. It provides a complete picture of an organization’s IT infrastructure and helps IT teams to make informed decisions regarding change management, incident management, and problem management, which is critical for IT teams to manage service availability and performance, reduce mean time to repair (MTTR), and improve overall service delivery.

ITOM predictive AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) is a technology that uses AI and ML algorithms to analyze data and detect patterns within an organization’s IT infrastructure.

Predictive AIOps in ITOM can help IT teams to:

  • Anticipate and prevent issues: It can predict potential issues by analyzing historical data, real-time data, and patterns to identify anomalies that could lead to service disruptions.
  • Reduce MTTR: Predictive AIOps can help IT teams quickly identify the root cause of issues and reduce the Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) by providing suggestions for remediation.
  • Optimize IT operations: By automating processes and predicting potential issues, IT teams can optimize their operations, reduce manual intervention, and focus on more strategic initiatives.
  • Improve service delivery: By proactively identifying and preventing issues, IT teams can improve service delivery, reduce downtime, and enhance customer satisfaction.

ITOM Governance in ServiceNow is a set of policies, procedures, and guidelines that organizations can use to manage their IT infrastructure, resources, and operations effectively.
