What Is ServiceNow IT Service Management?
IT Service Management (ITSM) refers to all of the processes a company uses to design, create, manage, and implement information technology services for its users. As a customer-centric approach to IT service, ITSM solutions empower users to resolve IT issues independently, increase the IT team’s efficiency, mitigate IT risks, and reduce IT operating costs.

What Is The Difference Between ITSM And ITIL?
When talking about ITSM, you’ll often hear reference to ITIL, which stands for IT Infrastructure Library. Simply put, ITIL is a best-practice framework for IT Service Management.
ITIL outlines a standardized approach to several ITSM processes such as incident management, change management, problem management, and more. While there are several methods to deliver ITSM, ITIL is the most popular and widely adopted framework. As a result, IT professionals may use these terms interchangeably. Technically, all ITIL is ITSM, though not all ITSM is ITI
Problem Management
In ITSM, a problem is the root cause of issues that result in incidents. Problem management seeks to prevent problems from occurring, eliminate recurring incidents, and minimize the impact of incidents that cannot be prevented.
What Is ServiceNow Problem Management?
ServiceNow Problem Management helps to identify the cause of an error in the IT infrastructure, reported as occurrences of related incidents. With automated workflows, ServiceNow quickly diagnoses problems so that service managers can deliver faster responses and build long term solutions for their IT environment. Problem Management also maintains data about problems and their solutions, so that your business can mitigate the impact of problems over time.
Change Management
In order to consistently offer a high quality IT experience to users, IT service managers and system administrators must regularly introduce beneficial changes to their IT environment such as new software, code updates, or problem solutions. Change management is the process that ensures standardized methods and procedures are used for efficient and prompt handling of these changes with minimal impact on IT services (and the business as a whole).
