Partner snapshot
Devoteam is an Elite Partner of ServiceNow , which is the highest level of partnership . Devoteam was awarded the EMEA Elite partner of the year in 2022 which recognises its efforts in extending the joint footprint in the region with ServiceNow . Devoteam can re-sell ServiceNow licenses , provide consulting and implementation services and co-deliver with ServiceNow on strategic projects .
Devoteam is introducing a new approach towards engaging with clients by building digital transformation studios , encompassing business consultants , transformation and change management specialists and technology experts , to deliver value to clients in a one stop shop concept .
Devoteam has developed its own implementation methodology – Rapid , in which the focus is on agility and time to market . Devoteam in the Middle East also created many localised templates and solutions with full support for Arabic language . The implementation challenges are usually related to organisational change management and creating the necessary awareness about the implementation project .
Since customer experience has a different meaning depending on the vertical market in which it is delivered and where the end customer is positioned , ServiceNow and its channel partners need to bring in this element as well .
Using the Global Solution Framework , ServiceNow channel partners can differentiate themselves by aligning to the business imperative and building an asset whether offering or solution . Further , this will be badged .
This approach of ServiceNow channel partners delivering based on business imperatives is what Volini refers to as , “ talking the language of business .”
“ This is the biggest shift that ServiceNow has had in its history . Because it is one thing when you are selling to a single stakeholder like the CIO . But when you are trying to sell to a Chief Procurement Officer or Chief Risk Officer or Head of ESG , those issues are not solved by a single part of our platform ,” elaborates Volini .
“ It is all about stringing our products together across the platform and selling multi-workflow . We want to be viewed as an enterprise platform ,” she adds . To address business imperatives and to leverage the Now Platform , ServiceNow channel partners need to look at their assets as multi-workflow .
To speak the language of business there is also a cultural shift that needs to take place . “ We have to move from , we sell , and our partners implement ; to we sell more with and through partners .” This cultural shift is tied to the success of the transformation of ServiceNow ’ s new partner programme initiated by Volini in January this year . •
