ServiceNow ITSM Transformation for a Field Services Organization
A North American field services enterprise operating specialized vehicles across 130+ service locations faced fragmented IT service management due to regional tools such as Jira. CES implemented a unified, ITIL-aligned ServiceNow ITSM platform covering Incident, Problem, Change, Request, Knowledge, CMDB, and SLA Management. The result was standardized workflows, faster resolutions, improved visibility, and consistent service delivery.

The Need
The organization was operating with multiple regional ITSM tools, leading to inconsistent service planning, manual coordination, and poor visibility into service performance. Leadership required a single, enterprise-grade ServiceNow platform to enforce ITIL-aligned processes, centralize requests and incidents, strengthen SLA governance, and create real-time visibility across all departments and locations.
Challenges
- Fragmented IT Operations – Multiple regional tools created silos, preventing standardized service execution and reporting.
- Limited Visibility Across Locations – Leadership lacked a single system to track incidents, SLAs, trends, and workloads at scale.
- Inconsistent Workflows & Approvals – Different processes for incident handling, changes, and requests resulted in uneven service quality.
- Manual Coordination & Delays – Approvals, escalations, and status tracking relied heavily on manual effort.
