Main challenge: improve instance work

The Customer wanted to perform an instance inspection to improve instance work with the main focus on developing some ServiceNow areas and fixing them like, e.g., the Service Portal look. Degroof Petercam struggled with inconsistencies related to flows implemented in Flow Designer and Workflow Editor. Eliminating problems with wrong ticket numbers was of the highest priority.

ServiceNow instance inspection process

After discussing current issues on the ServiceNow instance¨together with Degroof Petercam, we decided to perform both manual and automatic inspections followed by reports. Results of assessment and steps provided in the Action Plan were divided into incidents or changes to be further implemented. Our solutions covered:

  • Running our automatic HealthCheck scripts to verify instance performance. HealthCheck is a SPOC Maintenance & Development Team service that verifies the ServiceNow instance performance
  • Manual inspection performed by the M&D developer to, among others, make a licenses analysis and propose additional ServiceNow features that could be useful for the Customer.
  • Health Check performed on the Customer production instance.

Our perspective

We used our HealthCheck tool to determine if there were any potential issues at the Degroof Petercam instance that needed to be urgently addressed. HealthCheck also made it easy to find spots on the system that needed to be tweaked to keep things running smoother.
