IT Foundation
ITSM and Enterprise Architecture on ServiceNow - the data and process layer that makes strategic disciplines work. Configured where it serves as operational backbone, not as a standalone exercise.
IT Service Management
ITSM is not our headline act. It is the layer underneath - the data and process foundation that makes disciplines like Integrated Risk Management or Security Incident Response work reliably. We configure incident, problem, and change management where they serve strategic objectives - not where someone needs a ticket system migration at minimum cost.
Enterprise Architecture
Enterprise Architecture is not a framework exercise. It is the discipline of knowing what you have, what it costs, what it contributes - and what can go. We use ServiceNow’s EA and APM capabilities to make application landscapes visible and to systematically reduce technical debt. Good architecture often means removing things - not adding them.
Process Hygiene
Lean configuration of incident, problem, and change management. Audit-ready without bureaucratic overhead - approval chains that accelerate operations, not stall them.
Service Catalog & Portal
Clear interfaces between IT and end users that give people a path that works - reducing shadow IT not through prohibition, but through a better alternative.
CMDB That Earns Its Keep
An overloaded CMDB is as harmful as an empty one. We advise on which configuration items actually matter for GRC or security processes - and leave out the rest.
Application Portfolio Management
Inventory and assessment of applications by business relevance and technical quality. A clear picture of what to keep, what to consolidate, and what to retire - with data behind it, not gut feeling.
Target Architecture
Defining where the landscape needs to go so that new modules and integrations fit the whole - not just the project that requested them. Lean enough to stay current, specific enough to prevent drift.
Capability Mapping
Linking IT resources to business capabilities to surface the actual contribution of the IT landscape - and where there are gaps or overlaps that no one has quantified yet.
From Practice
Foundation Building
Realigning a stalled ITSM setup as preparation for introducing Security Incident Response. Cleaning up what exists before adding what comes next.
Lean Change Management
Streamlining change processes for a mid-market organization - reducing cycle times for standard changes without compromising audit trails.
Service Portal Redesign
Building a self-service portal that reduces service desk load through clear user guidance - not through hiding the contact option.
App Rationalization
Identifying redundancies in a global application landscape - surfacing license costs and maintenance overhead that had accumulated unnoticed. Fewer applications, lower cost, less integration complexity.
Integration Governance
Establishing architectural guardrails and a review process for third-party integrations into ServiceNow. Protecting the instance’s upgrade path before the next connector breaks it.
Business-IT Alignment
Mapping critical business processes to the underlying IT infrastructure - feeding directly into risk analysis and business continuity planning. Making the dependency visible before it becomes a problem.
