ServiceNow has the potential to transform how businesses operate — but too many implementations fall short. Incomplete strategies, rushed timelines, and lack of stakeholder alignment often lead to costly outcomes. At Raleston, we’ve seen where things go wrong — and more importantly, we know how to do it right.
Rushing to Deploy Without a Clear Roadmap
A common trap is implementing ServiceNow features just because they’re available. Without a clear understanding of business goals, this leads to misaligned priorities and underused functionality.
Poor CMDB Structure and Governance
A chaotic CMDB quickly becomes a liability. Many organizations start with poor foundations or fail to keep the data clean and structured — which breaks reporting and automation.
Lack of Stakeholder Buy-In
ServiceNow touches multiple teams — not just IT. If stakeholders across HR, Facilities, or Customer Service aren’t involved early, adoption suffers.
No Focus on Change Management
Even the best implementation can fail without thoughtful change management. Users need training, communication, and support to adopt new workflows.
How Raleston Avoids These Pitfalls
We begin with strategy, not shortcuts. From structured discovery to strong governance and user adoption, our team is built to deliver lasting impact — not just go-live dates.
Conclusion
Success with ServiceNow isn’t just about configuration — it’s about clarity, planning, and partnership. If you’re about to implement (or recover from one), Raleston can help you get it right.
