01Why ESM

From IT-only service to enterprise-wide excellence

ServiceNow started in IT — ESM extends the same excellence to every department.

Current State

  • ITSM siloed from business unit workflows
  • Different tools and processes per department
  • No unified employee service experience
  • Duplicate effort across HR, facilities, and IT
  • Limited visibility into enterprise service demand

Future State

  • Single platform for IT, HR, facilities, and legal
  • Standardized workflows with department customization
  • Unified employee portal for all service requests
  • Shared service catalog and knowledge base
  • Enterprise-wide analytics and demand planning
