The pressure is on.
Federal agencies and enterprises are navigating a new era—marked by shrinking workforces, disconnected platforms, growing data demands, and rising pressure to automate. The expectation: deliver faster, smarter services without additional funding.
The good news? The answer may already be in your ServiceNow environment.
The Hidden Gold in Your ServiceNow Backlog
Many organizations are sitting on an undeployed backlog —licenses and platform capabilities they’ve paid for but haven’t activated. According to ServiceNow, an organization is accelerating its platform maturity when it activates more than 50% of its undeployed backlog within six months. Whether you have underutilized or undeployed modules, the solution to streamline operations, reduce workload, and enhance service delivery may already be available—no new contracts or procurement hurdles needed.
Why It Matters Now
In DOGE times:
– Maturity roadmaps are at risk due to funding pressure.
– Duplicate or redundant tools are being scrutinized.
– CIOs and IT leaders must show measurable value and outcomes—fast.
The window to prove impact is shrinking, and an undeployed backlog can quickly become a liability. Without a clear plan to activate what’s already in place, agencies risk losing both budget and momentum.
How to Get Started Fast
Your organization can accelerate digital modernization, improve efficiency, enhance service delivery, and adopt AI responsibly —often in a matter of weeks.
Start by taking a close look at what you already own. Many agencies have access to modules they’ve never activated, tools like Virtual Agents, Walk-up Experience, Demand Management, and more. When mapped to current business needs, these tools can deliver immediate impact.
Here’s a proven path to results:
- Check what you own: Run a backlog inventory to surface unused modules and features.
- Map it to current needs: Prioritize gaps in service, efficiency, or governance.
- Pilot one use case: Activate a high-impact module or workflow that solves a specific problem.
- Prove value: Measure time savings, reduced tickets, or improved throughput.
- Repeat: Scale what works, using the same model across other business areas.
We’ve seen federal agencies cut help desk calls by 30% with Virtual Agents. Others have streamlined project intake with SPM modules—no new license purchases required. The capabilities are already in your environment. You just need the right team to activate them.
Use What You Have—Procurement Paths That Work
Worried about procurement? You don’t have to be. There are fast, compliant ways to get started:
