HSF faced significant challenges with their heavily customised, aging ServiceNow instance. They needed guidance on whether to initiate a new instance (Greenfield’s approach) or remediate the existing one.
The goal was to align with ServiceNow best practices, enhance platform maintainability, and improve incident vs. request management, ultimately uplifting service delivery and ensuring robust upgrade management.
Scattered and Mismanaged Data: The existing system had a large amount of untrusted, unused, and misused data, particularly in the CMDB.
Extensive customisations on the Task table and other areas deviated from best practices, complicating upgrades and maintenance.
Governance and Process Maturity: Lack of a centralised governance framework and inconsistent process management hampered efficient service delivery.
Rebuild the platform from scratch to remove unnecessary customisations, improve data validity, and simplify processes.
Keep the platform as close to OOTB as possible to enhance scalability, maintainability, and ease of upgrades.
Establish robust governance to ensure consistent configurations and adherence to best practices.
