Using Aptimized expertise, our customers can integrate ServiceNow with existing platforms and IT tools to optimize the operational processes for Level 1 and Level 2 support teams to interact with the business.

Aptimized can help improve the existing Service Operations and in-scope Service Management processes by leveraging integrations with existing platforms/tools, the Configuration Management Database (CMDB), and all the attributes governed within the CMDB. These attributes will further the automation goal of the client to reduce operational costs and improve service delivery and availability.

High-level business objectives within the Advanced ITSM transformation: 

  • Assess the current state of the configuration management process and CMDB to improve operational processes, such as identifying change impacts on business services.
  • Develop current state observations, a target desired state, and elaborate common CMDB design principles.
  • Enhance the current configuration management process by improving current policy, process, and reconciliation procedures and establishing clearly defined roles and responsibilities for managing the CMDB.
  • Define and establish key performance indicators (KPIs) and associated critical success factors (CSFs). This will allow the team to effectively measure, report and improve the configuration management process and CMDB performance by enabling data Certification and auditing in ServiceNow.
  • Develop a CMDB framework comprising the conceptual CMDB data model, integrations, and data sources.
  • Leverage the CMDB enhancements to drive Service Management optimization for Incident and Change management processes to reduce operational costs and aid in business service impact analysis.
  • Instill an ITAM program, with associated controls and governance to ensure that IT has reasonable control over Hardware and Software costs
