ServiceNow Implementation Steps

ServiceNow creates the digital workflows that connect people, functions, and systems across your organization. As such, it will likely interact with all departments of a company – directly or indirectly. A thorough review of the business process is required because bringing your systems online will affect everyone.

At Big Bang, we treat your business like your own, which is why we give advice based on best practices, leading solutions, and valuable experience. We are versed in implementing and integrating software, remaining grounded to the reality of what happens after the software selection- what is the reality, what works, what does not work, what should work based on what you read, but does not.

Big Bang has been involved in the digital transformation of over 500 organizations, so our experts know which pitfalls to look out for and proactively avoid – across various industries and geographies while leveraging the best-practices. We know how to ensure a smooth transition through times of change, and it starts with our proprietary implementation methodology, The Big Bang Experience®.

The Big Bang Experience® is the standard delivery methodology for any Cloud Solution, and the steps outline the main activities involved in the delivery of each phase. Even though our 7-steps are structured, we’re flexible to remain within your budget and timeline; let us know so we can show you how we adapt our process when required.

ServiceNow Implementation Issues: Big Bang to the Rescue

Customization is one of the most significant ways to get the most out unified platform like ServiceNow. Workflows save time and reduce errors, but only if systems are connected and programmed correctly. Perhaps you had an internal team conduct a self implementation, and there was a turnover, leaving a gap in expertise or an unfinished implementation project. Big Bang consultants can jump in where the others left off to remediate an issue or rescue the project as a whole.

bullet point

We quickly re-validate from the beginning where decisions were made: Is the problem the partner, the product, the approach, a combination of issues, or something else?

bullet point

We have trained capacity ready to go like a 911 Emergency Service, skilled in expediting fixes to your implementation issues.

bullet point

We believe that a crisis is not an excuse to skip best practices because you’ll be no better off.

bullet point

Any good implementation needs great optimization, and that's why so many people come to Big Bang.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an implementation take?
How much does an implementation cost?
What are my implementation options?

A Service implementation can take anywhere from 4 weeks to a couple of months to half a year, depending on the project’s scale. Accurate timelines are scoped out at the beginning of the project so that the business can accommodate, adapt, or expect accordingly. Our goal is to implement ServiceNow as quickly as possible while managing the potential risks while changing systems and business processes. When a consulting firm takes too long to implement, the benefits are hard to achieve since the ROI (including time invested by your team) needs to be recouped.

There is the base cost that depends on the size of the project. And adding on extra modules and third-party apps and connectors above the base will come at an additional cost. But often, this doesn’t have to come all at once. We can work with you to determine the priority level for all features and build a customized plan, including pricing, based on your IT strategy and growth goals.

Perhaps you have limited visibility on new projects, resource capacity, and availability scattered across multiple tools and you require a unified platform solution implementation. Or perhaps through recent years of growth, your IT help desk has amounted to so many customizations and has become too robust and cumbersome to function optimally. As your implementation partner, we assess the best option that is unique to your needs, a platform that links your organization’s transactions from start to end.
