The ServiceNow cloud service offers a broad set of automation tools. Beginning at the core of ITIL, we
have expanded the definition of IT service management to include all the relevant components of IT
transformation. ServiceNow applications are organically built on a single platform as a service. This
increases automation across all IT disciplines, ensures the applications operate consistently and
continuous improvement can be measured from the beginning to the end of a process. To simplify the
presentation of our portfolio, we have aligned the applications to the ITIL disciplines of Strategy, Design,
Transition, and Operations.
Cloud Platform as a Service: Many of our customers have used the ServiceNow Platform as a Service
to build custom applications that automate business processes outside of IT. We have absorbed their
ideas and created a number of business service applications. In fact, our 2011 Innovation of the Year
‘Award customer contest highlighted more than 25 unique uses of the platform. The winner, VeriSign
created a data center management application to track IP address and a granular map of data center
resource including rack details. Blue Cross Blue Shied of Minnesota and ICW both use ServiceNow for
claims management. Quest Software uses it for legal request management, The NBA uses it to manage
the NBA schedule, shot clocks and arenas. Cricket Wireless manages all their cell towers in the system.

ServiceNow is built on:
Web 2.0 + SaaS + ITIL + PaaS + IT 3.0 |
But what do these terms mean?
ServiceNow is built using Web 2.0 technologies resulting in fast, flexible, affordable, simple,
consistent software.
Software as a Service (SaaS) provides remote access to IT management software through a
web-based interface. ServiceNow is the leader of on-demand IT service management.
The IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) provides a platform of applications offering continual service
improvement. ServiceNow uses ITIL as a framework.
Platform as a Service (PaaS) refers to the delivery of an on-demand, web-based solution stack.
The ServiceNow platform is java-based, using a tomcat web server running on Linux
IT version 1.0 was pre-internet and communication was paper-based, people got in the way and
IT and business were separate. Then we moved on to IT 2.0 using Internet processes;
‘communication was email based. Now in IT 3.0 we have added the social IT functionality to
enhance communication. Is no longer just abcut the process, it's about the people

Problem Change
A problem means
investigating why the

A change means what
is done to fix

The change might be
as simple as a software

be required

(© 2012 ServiceNew Al Rights ReservedHow Does ServiceNow Work? servicenow
Facilitate the delivery of services —
"services" in this sense could be
incident, problem, change just
described and could also include
the service catalog
Incident
For example:
Service
Catalog
Can | have a new iPhone?
~ Service Catalog, single item
Please do what is required to
onboard a new hire
~ Service Catalog, ordering
predetined goods
and services
Incident, Problem and Change are not the only applications to facilitate the delivery of
services, ServiceNow also provides a Service Catalog application.
For example:
+ Open an incident ticket.
* Order a single item like a new iPhone from the Service Catalog.
+ Order a set of predefined goods and services for a new employee.

A field is a cell in a table (intersection of row and column). Each field holds an individual piece
of data. A record is one set of all the fields in the table.

those with the personalize role) allows you to make changes to the system default, unlike the
gear icon that affects your personal list display only.
List Layout: This menu item displays the slusabucket for choosing list columns and their order,
allowing you to change the default columns for a list view.
List Calculations: This menu item allows you to choose to display the maximum or minimum
values used to calculate a numeric field. A dialog box displays, enabling you to view minimum
and maximum calculations for that field for all the records in the list. To see both the minimum
and maximum calculations displayed, select both checkboxes. The totals appear in the column
you selected, below the last record in the list.
List Control: This menu item displays the List Control form. You can set which buttons are on
the form, whether to display empty rows, and other settings. A number of elements in a list can
be personalized, such as control buttons and filters. Right-click in the header bar then select
