Preface

ServiceNow is a powerful and versatile cloud-based IT Service Management (ITSM) platform that supports Incident, Problem, Change, and Knowledge management, as well as a great many other IT processes. With Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) processes baked right in, powerful workflow-driven processes, and a robust scripting engine for both client-side and server-side customizations, ServiceNow can provide fairly comprehensive ITSM functionality right out of the box, or it can be extensively customized to suit the needs of any business.

If you're reading this, then there's a good chance you are, or aim to be, a ServiceNow administrator or developer. This means that it'll be your responsibility to extend and modify ServiceNow's existing functionality to meet the needs of your business' users. This book will help get you up to speed on how ServiceNow works, what its capabilities are, and how to customize its functionality and appearance!
