What to agree in the first scope
Possible assessment outputs, selected and confirmed during scoping.
- A workflow and approval assessment
- A prioritised configuration and customisation backlog
- Process ownership and upgrade-readiness recommendations
Improve the workflow as well as the platform
Map where requests wait, who can approve them and which variations are necessary. This helps separate process decisions from configuration work and identifies the customisations that need continuing support.
How the work runs.
01 Measure the process as it is
Where elapsed time actually goes — usually waiting for approval or clarification, rarely in the step everyone assumes.
02 Decide what standard means
Which variations survive and which are retired, agreed with the people affected before configuration.
03 Configure to the standard product
Deliberate bias toward out-of-the-box behaviour, with customisation treated as a decision that carries an ongoing upgrade cost someone has accepted.
04 Establish process ownership
Each workflow has an owner in the function that runs it, accountable for how it performs — not the platform team by default.
What buyers ask
Are you a ServiceNow partner?
MENTARA does not currently hold ServiceNow partner status and receives no commission on ServiceNow licensing.
Can you assess an instance that is difficult to upgrade?
We can inventory customisations, assess their current use and dependencies, and propose a sequence towards supported patterns. Testing and release responsibilities are agreed in scope.
Can we extend workflows beyond IT?
The receiving business function should own the process, acceptance criteria and ongoing operation. Confirm licensing, integration and platform capability before implementation.
Where MENTARA fits best.
MENTARA supports process design, governance, assessment and focused ServiceNow improvement.
Large multi-module rollouts or requirements for partner-tier delivery should be discussed with a qualified implementation partner.
