Intro
From my time working within the company, I've gained valuable experience and insights into how ServiceNow enables organisations to streamline operations, increase productivity, and deliver record breaking customer experiences. In this short post, I'll go into the capabilities of ServiceNow and share my perspective on its impact on businesses from the lens of tech support.
ServiceNow isn't just a ticketing tool, oh no, there's more!
ServiceNow stands out as a centralised hub for organisations to manage and automate processes across different departments such as IT, HR and increases the experience of an end user employee . Its ability to join all business domains onto a single system of record promotes team work and eliminates inefficiencies across departments, ultimately increasing operations in the org.
Business Rules/ Client Scripts, what do they do?
ServiceNow helps businesses and non profits to automate repetitive tasks and workflows, reducing manual effort and increasing productivity. These might occur on the server side or client side depending on what the sys admin/business wants. As records are stored in databases, any update to them (i.e when a record is created, updated, deleted or queried), a business rule is ran so it can be executed on the database. However maybe you'd like to go beyond the standard configuration and create a custom business rule to achieve more wonderful solutions. This might be creating custom business rules by automating routine processes such as ticket routing, approvals, and notifications. When you look at client scripts it pretty much the same thing but happens on the client side. They allow the system to run JavaScript on the client's web browser when a form loads, after form submission, or when a field value is updated.

Cheese may not be the first thing that comes to mind when discussing integrations, but just like how cheese goes well with a number ofdishes, ServiceNow also integrates with a number of third-party applications and systems. This versatility enables organisations to maximise their existing investments while expanding the functionalities of the platform. Adapting with cloud services to workinig with legacy systems and even syncing with IoT devices, ServiceNow offers the freedom to connect and orchestrate across the entire IT ecosystem. Just as cheese enhances the flavor of diverse dishes, these integrations amplify the efficiency and effectiveness of business operations, ensuring a smooth and cohesive workflow.
