Streamlining the Server Attestation Process in ServiceNow For a Financal Services Company
Industry | Financial Services
Technology | ServiceNow
Location | United States
The client is a financial service provider with presense in all 50 US states. The client utilized ServiceNow for IT asset management, where they faced significant challenges in the server attestation process. Servers that were not discovered by ServiceNow remained unaccounted for, leading to potential compliance issues and inefficient resource management.
What the organization really needed was a systematic approach to identify and manage servers with the status “No Longer Discovered”. This ensured they were tracked and properly decommissioned.
