ServiceNow's latest major software update, known as the Now Platform Paris release, contains numerous enhancements for multiple vertical markets. But some of the most intriguing developments for IT channel partners involve business continuity management, hardware asset management and telecom service management features, ChannelE2E believes.
Key ServiceNow Paris components include:
1. Business Continuity Management, which provides service providers and customers with "automated business impact analysis, business continuity plan development, and crisis management leveraging context within the ServiceNow platform to enable operational resilience," the company says.
2. Hardware Asset Management, which "automates the IT asset lifecycle by tracking the financial, contractual, and inventory details of hardware and devices to make smarter decisions from purchase to disposal."
3. Telecommunications Service Management, which "gives customers a more proactive experience and greater flexibility to manage their services, while providing the care and operations organizations with an enhanced service platform and insights into the customer status and health, resulting in a reduced cost to serve," ServicesNow assets.
4. Telecommunications Network Performance Management, which "provides network operations teams with a unified view of the install base and the ability to analyze, correlate, and resolve events and alarms originating across multiple network monitoring platforms, resulting in a precise identification of affected customers and a faster time to resolution," ServiceNow says.
