A full-scale implementation of ServiceNow can cost over $200,000. For lean organizations looking to limit expenses, a full implementation of ServiceNow may not fit within budget constraints, especially if they have relatively few employees. So how can you take advantage of the benefits of ServiceNow’s features while limiting initial expenditures and controlling the total cost of ownership (TCO)?
GatewayNow by GSI allows you to deploy ServiceNow’s full suite of ITSM tools—starting with as little as five licenses. A lean organization can take advantage of the same ServiceNow tools as a large enterprise at a fraction of the TCO.
With GatewayNow, you can save money upfront, scale up at your own pace, shrink your time-to-value, and more. Here are a few of the top benefits of GatewayNow.
ServiceNow’s ITSM tools, while capable of benefitting huge enterprises, can be just as valuable for a small company, but the initial price tag may put it out of reach. Further, it can be hard to justify a $200,000 expenditure on an ITSM solution if you only have a few employees. With GatewayNow, you get the full suite of ServiceNow’s ITSM tools while saving up to $175,000 on your initial cost of ownership (ICO).
Because GatewayNow allows you to start with only five licenses, you can deploy ServiceNow with a handful of users. Then, as your company grows, you can gradually add more licenses as new employees come on board. In addition, if your organization outgrows a managed environment, you can easily migrate to a dedicated ServiceNow instance. The advantage of this approach is investing in the platform that you want in the long term instead of relying on an interim solution until you have the funding or demand for the ServiceNow suite of products.
GatewayNow gets you up and running with all of ServiceNow’s ITSM features in as few as three weeks—as opposed to the 25 weeks a normal ServiceNow rollout can consume. This means that in as little as three weeks, you have full access to ServiceNow’s:
With the typical ServiceNow onboarding process, getting up to speed with all of its ITSM features can take around six months. With GatewayNow, onboarding can be completed in just a few weeks because you’re guided, step by step, through the process. Using a combination of ITIL and industry best practices, GSI's experienced professionals have seen thousands of ITSM implementations and know the best ways to bring customers on to their own domain-separated, preconfigured environment.
GSI’s extensive experience with ServiceNow can be used to your advantage when you use GatewayNow. With AppCare, you get full support for ServiceNow’s ITSM features, as well as with any ServiceNow administration challenges. By relying on our expertise for upgrades and enhancements, you can avoid common administration headaches caused by lack of experience, employee turnover, and the need for continued training and certification.
With GatewayNow, you get all that ServiceNow has to offer but in a smaller, less expensive package.
Suppose you have a small but effective IT support team consisting of seven people. Three of them work remotely, and the workload is fairly well-balanced. You have been looking for an ITSM solution for a couple of years, but the smaller-scale options haven’t had all the features you need. Even though the company is growing steadily, it’s unlikely it will expand to a size that justifies a regular ServiceNow subscription anytime soon.
With GatewayNow, there's no need to wait. You can deploy preconfigured ServiceNow tools to handle your ITSM issues immediately and be up and running in as little as three weeks.
There’s often little correlation between the size of a company and the size of its needs. Smaller companies have challenges as pressing as those of bigger organizations. With GatewayNow, you get a fully managed, domain-separated ServiceNow instance, complete with all of ServiceNow’s ITSM features. For example, you can:
With GatewayNow, you get a combination of all of ServiceNow’s features and the years of ServiceNow expertise that come with GSI’s solution.
