-
Users can customise workflows, forms, catalog items, notifications, dashboards, automation rules, and integration points within the ServiceNow platform. They can also tailor access controls, data models, reporting, and business logic to match organisational requirements.
How users can customise
Users customise the service through ServiceNow’s configuration tools, including form designers, workflow editors, Flow Designer, App Engine Studio, dashboard builders, and integration tools. Customers can also adjust system properties, create business rules, and use low‑code tools to update workflows without altering core functionality.
Who can customise
Customisation can be performed by trained system administrators, developers, and platform owners with the appropriate ServiceNow roles and permissions. Governance processes may restrict higher‑risk changes to authorised technical teams or an approved change management workflow.
Scaling
- Independence of resources
-
ServiceNow runs on a multi‑instance architecture. Each customer receives a separate application stack and database. This isolates performance, data, and processing. One customer cannot affect another.
ServiceNow monitors capacity continuously. It allocates compute, storage, and network resources to each instance independently. ServiceNow also scales resources to keep performance stable.
This approach ensures users are not affected by demand from other organisations

- Approach to resilience

ServiceNow is designed for high availability using a multi‑instance architecture. Each customer runs on an isolated application stack and database, which prevents resource contention and supports independent scaling. ServiceNow’s cloud uses Advanced High Availability (AHA), delivering resilience through redundant infrastructure and paired datacentres.
ServiceNow datacentres are deployed in regional active/active pairs, with all production data stored in both locations and kept in sync using near real‑time database replication. Each datacentre in the pair is capable of running the full production load. If a failure occurs, customer instances fail over to the paired site, restoring service quickly.
Within each datacentre, ServiceNow uses redundant servers, network devices, and multiple network paths to eliminate single points of failure. Load balancing sits in front of application servers, and proactive failover is regularly exercised as part of normal operations to ensure reliability during real incidents.
This architecture provides resilience at infrastructure, application, and data layers, ensuring continuity even during component failures or planned maintenance activities. - Outage reporting

ServiceNow identifies potential compromises by ingesting alerts from SIEM, endpoint security, firewalls, and other security tools, using automated correlation, threat intelligence enrichment, and prioritisation to detect suspicious activity quickly. This is supported by Security Incident Response and Security Operations workflows that centralise monitoring and automate detection.
ServiceNow responds to potential compromises using automated playbooks, enrichment, prioritisation, and coordinated workflows that route incidents to the correct teams. Incidents follow structured processes aligned with NIST, using containment, eradication, and recovery steps defined in the Security Incident Response module. - Incident management type

- What the ISO/IEC 27001 doesn’t cover
- ISO 27001 is a globally recognized framework designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of an organization’s information assets. Rather than focusing solely on IT security, it mandates a Risk Management approach where a business identifies its specific data threats and implements a tailored "Information Security Management System" (ISMS) to mitigate them.

- Sunday 9 March 2025
- What the ISO 9001 doesn’t cover
-
ISO 9001 is the international standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS), focusing on the principle that consistent processes lead to consistent results. For an IT reseller, it is less about the technical "specs" of the gear and more about the reliability of the customer experience.
It mandates a "Plan-Do-Check-Act" (PDCA) cycle, requiring the business to document how it handles everything from sales inquiries and order fulfillment to customer complaints and supplier vetting. By shifting the focus from "fixing mistakes" to preventing them through continuous improvement, ISO 9001 ensures that a client receives the same high level of service every time they order. It serves as a structural guarantee that the business is managed through data-driven decisions and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction, rather than luck or ad-hoc effort. - Quality management systems (QMS)
