About The Team

The IT Asset Management (ITAM) and IT Service Management (ITSM) team is responsible for the design, delivery, governance, and continuous improvement of the ServiceNow platform across HAM, SAM, Incident, Major Incident, Problem, Request, Change, DevOps, SPM, and FedRAMP. The team partners closely with ITOM, Architecture, Systems Administration, Security, and other technology teams to deliver scalable, secure, and efficient platform solutions through workflow development, integrations, automation, asset lifecycle management, governance, reporting, and operational process improvement. As the platform continues to mature, the team is evolving from a primarily implementation-focused model to a more strategic, product and engineering led function, progressing through a “crawl, walk, run” maturity journey focused on expanding feature adoption, enhancing integrations and automation, and driving operational efficiency and business value across the enterprise.
