On-boarding non-IT Teams into ServiceNow Quickly & Consistently by Dan Spada

Once an organisation implements ServiceNow there is often a significant drive to expand to other areas of a business.
Dan will present one way of creating a reusable, consistent and scalable model that can be used to grow the ServiceNow platform beyond the walls of IT to many other internal departments. This facilitates minimisation of the use of paper based forms, decommissioning of legacy SharePoint sites and usage of file-shares as knowledge repositories.
Dan will discuss approaches considered, problems encountered, and then show you some of the technical solutions he used to create a heavily data-driven architecture for a Scoped Application. As a result of the consistent approach, on-boarding non-IT teams now takes days, not weeks.

Dan Spada is an Enterprise Service Management Consultant with over 14 years’ experience spanning Service Management tools and application development. Dan has worked with a wide range of clients, projects and products in a vast range of industries.  Dan has successfully led teams of developers, from concept to delivery, providing enhanced business value through outcome-focussed solutions.

Murdoch University’s ServiceNow Client Portal Journey by Quentin Kuhl 

Starting as a single ICT portal in the Fuji release, the Murdoch Support portal has now grown to encompass 6 business area’s offering a range of services and knowledge to both students and staff.
In this session, Quentin will discuss the considerations that surfaced as the portal grew, with the ongoing modernisation of the Murdoch website. Murdoch are now very proud of where they are in the Service Portal space, though still recognise a need for ongoing improvement as the focus shifts from basic functionality to improving the client UI experience.

Quentin Kuhl is a Technical Lead for ServiceNow and acts as a technical authority for ServiceNow to ensure all development in the system aligns with best practice, current application standards and the university’s strategic goals and direction.
