THE CLIENT

Delivering critical public services through innovation

The client serves over 1.3 million residents with a wide range of services across infrastructure, justice, health, and safety. As part of the state and local government ecosystem, the client is committed to operational excellence, transparency, and community engagement. In support of this mission, the client pursued a modern IT service management platform to deliver better, faster services to both internal users and the community at large.

“We could not have done this without [Ondaro]. They were committed to providing what we asked for. They went above and beyond on such a difficult migration to a new system-all while in a landscape of skeptical adopters.”

THE CHALLENGE

A legacy system holding progress back

Before engaging Ondaro, the client relied on a legacy service management platform as its primary IT ticketing system. However, the system’s limitations were becoming more pronounced. With a growing need to streamline IT operations, improve service levels, and deliver greater organizational value, the client recognized that the platform could no longer support its long-term vision. The platform lacked the flexibility and functionality to meet the client’s evolving needs, and maintaining it meant holding onto legacy processes that increased administrative burden and stifled service innovation.

The client faced several key challenges: decentralized incident and change management processes, limited self-service capabilities for employees, and minimal visibility into performance metrics and reporting. These inefficiencies affected both end users and IT teams, creating bottlenecks and making it difficult to respond to internal service requests with speed and consistency. The client knew it was time to move toward a modern solution that could help consolidate, automate, and digitize core IT functions.

Recognizing that success would depend not just on technology but also on adoption, the client needed a partner who could guide the organization through the entire transformation – from platform implementation to organizational change management. The goal was clear: fully transition from the legacy system to ServiceNow ITSM and go live by February 2025.

THE SOLUTION

Seamless ServiceNow ITSM Implementation

To bring this vision to life, the client selected Ondaro, an Elite ServiceNow Partner, to lead the implementation of ServiceNow IT Service Management (ITSM). With a proven track record and refined methodology, Ondaro applied its Ondaro Value Delivery Methodology, integrating agile practices and ServiceNow’s Now Create framework.

The project included a full platform configuration and a complete migration away from the legacy system, with features and capabilities designed to improve efficiency, user experience, and insight across IT services, including the following:

  • Core ServiceNow platform configuration with Azure AD/SSO integration
  • Incident management, change management, and knowledge management
  • Request and service catalog development
  • Self-service portal built on Employee Center Pro
  • Service Operations Workspace implementation

Ondaro also provided training support, operational enablement, and organizational change management consulting. This holistic approach helped ensure a smooth transition by preparing stakeholders for the new platform and encouraging adoption at every level.

With these efforts in place, the client achieved its goals:

  • Improved efficiency through process automation
  • Streamlined service desk operations with centralized tools
  • Enhanced employee experience through a modern self-service portal
  • Greater insight through out-of-the-box dashboards and reporting

The project was delivered on time, reaching go-live in February 2025 – just six months after project initiation. The legacy system was fully decommissioned, and the client’s IT operations are now positioned for long-term success and scalability.
