ServiceNow Upgrades with Aelum?
Constant Communication
We help you create upgrade awareness and ensure that users understand how the changes will impact them, directly or indirectly. We proactively inform users about any expected downtime or disruptions to their day-to-day operations. Also, we believe in providing clear timelines on when your teams can expect to resume business as usual.
Train Users
During the upgrade, we identify any training needs that may arise due to the changes that are introduced in the latest release. We understand that the users may require quick and thorough training on the upgraded system to ensure a seamless transition and enable them to resume their normal productivity levels.
Dev Instance
By cloning your production instance and performing the upgrade on the clone, we simulate the upgrade without disrupting your live environment. Additionally, we make use of the in-built ServiceNow features to allow you to monitor the upgrade progress and address any conflicts between the upgrade and your customizations efficiently.
UAT
We understand that users may have different workflows and objectives when using the same tool. Instead of relying on assumptions, we use UAT to allow users to validate the system to ensure comprehensive coverage. We make sure to involve a representative sample of users who can dedicate a few hours to test the new system.

Two feature releases a year.
ServiceNow is committed to consistently enhancing its platform for optimal performance and improved functionality. Starting from the Kingston release in Q1 2019, ServiceNow follows a schedule of two feature releases per year in different quarters.
Additionally, between these feature releases, ServiceNow offers patch releases containing all known issue fixes up to that point, which are automatically deployed to customer instances. This ensures that customers benefit from a steady stream of updates and problem resolutions throughout the year.
