How to Choose a ServiceNow Development Partner
Industry Experience
Look for partners who understand your industry's workflows, compliance requirements, and common pain points. Healthcare needs HIPAA; finance needs SOC 2.
Workflow Mapping Skills
Strong partners map your current processes before building, not after. They identify bottlenecks and design optimized workflows.
Transparent Communication
Clear timelines, regular updates, and honest about challenges. Avoid partners who promise everything without asking questions.
Post-Go-Live Support
Implementation is just the start. Ensure partners offer training, ongoing optimization, and rapid issue resolution after launch.
