Have worked with Service-Now and found it to be a perfectly viable
software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution for service desk activities, and more.

To quell Guillaume's concern . . . yes, Service-Now is definitely
customizable.

Better question is, are you prepared to forgo software license ownership and embrace SaaS? Perhaps you should be. IT is supposed to provide business
services, not collect and manage company assets.

Suggest you speak with BMC Remedy and Service-Now to hear a balanced
argument for each approach.  If you don't already have a Service-Now
contact, here's the gentleman I started with:

    Tyson Ricks
    Inside Sales - West

Tell him Bing sent you.

Disclaimer: Not saying Service-Now or any other SaaS solution is better or worse than Remedy. Only suggesting you should get ALL the facts and perform
an apples-to-apples due diligence process, before making such a major
decision.

Hi Claire,

I guess what I was trying to say, is that BMC can give you the weak and
strong points of Service-now.
At least you would have that, and you would not need to get that
information...
I totally agree that it is better to get feedback from the soldiers on the
field.

Without knowing whether service-now is customizable or not, you can always make the argument that you **could** have a totally 100% vanilla Remedy ITSM implementation, which could be viewed and treated as a totally hermetic
black-box.
However, I have never been in a project or heard of a customer that is
totally 100% OOTB, even though it is usually the mandate from management when implementing ITSM. So as you know, the fact that you can customize the
Remedy applications is the greatest strength.

The other very strong point is that the Remedy apps are open-source in a way, since you can take a look at the code. This is very handy, not just for customization, but to understand what the functionality is in the first place, since as you know the documentation can never be perfect. So all the arguments in favor of open-source applications do apply for Remedy apps.

Guillaume

I know my BMC account manager can give me a comparative analysis between both products, what I am looking for is info from the "remedy people in the
trenches" perspective.

I personally would prefer to stay with Remedy.

Your BMC Account manager should be able to provide you with a comparative

Has anyone here ever investigated or had their management investigate
switching from Remedy to Service-now.com?

If so and you stayed with Remedy, please give me as much specific info as
you can so I can guide my company in the "R"ight direction.

Thank you very much!
