Innovative software solution
SNP’s ALM Integrator for ServiceNow is an innovative software solution that fully meets all of KaVo’s requirements. SNP’s standardized software combines technical functionality with easy expandability: Prepackaged integration scenarios based on many years of experience from integration projects with SAP Solution Manager enabled the implementation at KaVo in the shortest time possible. The process integration, including conception, configuration and implementation of the customer-specific additional requirements, was approved and implemented successfully in less than 10 project days. This rapid project implementation was only possible with SNP’s software and expertise. Through the integration of both systems, it was possible to design the change management processes more efficiently, saving time and costs. At the same time, SNP’s solution enabled higher process transparency, meeting the requirements of the auditors.
Further expand and standardize IT landscape
Upon joining the Finnish Planmeca Group, KaVo was not only facing extensive adjustments in terms of IT, but also striving toward expanding and harmonizing the new IT landscape in a further digitalization project. The focus was on integrating two systems used in parallel for central change management by connecting ServiceNow to SAP Solution Manager for change processes. The aim was to create a central tool that would enable the approval of changes in order to optimize its use for professional users and IT employees. All changes had to be documented and approved in ServiceNow before being passed to SAP Solution Manager for implementation. For maintenance reasons, only a few weeks were available for process integration. KaVo therefore needed a solution that could be quickly introduced, easily adapted to its requirements and immediately used.
