1. Understand the specific needs of the facility
Before making any decisions about your facilities with ServiceNow, it is imperative to take the time to understand the specific needs of the facility. This means taking into account factors such as size, traffic, usage, and any special requirements that may affect the operation or health of the facility. Doing this will allow you to create a plan to implement ServiceNow that is tailored to the exact needs of your facility, rather than trying to use a generic solution. Make sure to spend time researching and gathering the necessary data to make informed decisions about your facility.
2. Identify the available resources
Once you have identified the potential need for a change in your facility, it is important to understand the resources you have available to help you make an informed decision. Some of the resources you may have access to are ServiceNow's reports, which provide insights into how your facilities are managed and how they can be improved.

Additionally, you may have access to internal stakeholders who have expertise in various aspects of facility management, such as budgeting, safety, and operations. By utilizing these resources, you can be proactive in making the best decisions for your facility.
3. Analyze the cost of implementing a solution
Once you have identified the potential solutions, it is important to analyze the cost of implementing them. This will help you make an informed decision about which solution is best for you. To analyze the cost of a solution, you need to consider the cost of the initial investment, the cost of maintenance and upgrades, and other associated costs such as training, installation, and support fees. You may also need to consider the cost of lost business opportunities or the cost of not being able to adequately meet customer demands if the solution fails. Once you have a full picture of the cost of the solution, you can decide whether or not it is worth the investment.
4. Evaluate the risks and benefits of the solution
After determining the solution that is most suitable for your needs, it is important to evaluate the risks and benefits of the solution. Consider the potential risks that could come along with the solution, such as operational, financial, reputational, and security risks. Also, consider the potential benefits, such as improved efficiency, cost savings, and better customer experiences. By thoroughly evaluating the risks and benefits of the solution, you can make an informed decision on whether or not to move forward with the proposed solution.
