Getting Started

What is Technology Provider Service Management (TPSM)?

The ServiceNow Technology Provider Service Management product was developed to meet the unique requirements of the Technology Industry. It enables a Technology Provider to streamline work across their entire service ecosystem with one platform for sales, service and support powered by AI.

TPSM begins with the ServiceNow Platform, Customer Service Management, and IT Service Management product capabilities; and then builds on additional value-add features that are purpose built for the Technology Provider. Those features include the following:

• Account Lifecycle Events Onboarding provides a purpose-built data model for enterprise account onboarding including an onboarding case type, playbook, and tailored user experiences.
• Account Lifecycle Events Customer Success provides a user experience and data model supporting a Customer Success Manager in engaging with their customers and in managing/monitoring adoption, expansion, and renewal activities.
• Service Bridge simplifies the integration of a Provider’s ServiceNow instance with their customers’ instances; enabling the Provider to easily publish catalog items and provide field-level task synchronization to their customers.
• Proactive Service Experience Workflows (PSEW) for Incident Management and Change Management enables an ITSM engineering/support persona to quickly identify accounts impacted by an incident or change, automatically generate proactive cases for those customers, and communicate bi-directionally with the customer without leaving the Service Operations Workspace.
• Proactive Service Experience Workflows Account 360 Dashboard features a Service Operations Workspace user can click on an Account name and see a view of the account details, contacts, service history, and performance across common Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
• Technology Product Support Case introduces a case type, workflows, and experiences that are purpose-built for the Technology Industry Vertical.
