Who We Are
At Scarce, we do things differently. We believe that great technology can incite positive cultural change. Technology can set people free. Organisations who embrace a mobile workforce and who provide meaninful technology experiences are rewarded with colleague loyalty and their passion to follow a common vision. When people are motivated by a common vision, they don't need clocks or supervision to govern their commitment. The ServiceNow NOW Platform empowers colleagues to focus on moving your ideas forward, not repetitive admin. It enables colleagues to work from anywhere, at any time.
But technology alone will not change culture. That's where we come in.
Remote Delivery works - our way
The benefit of implementing a Cloud solution like ServiceNow is that it can be done from anywhere. And that means tremendous cost savings to you and to our planet.
But remote delivery doesn't mean hands-off delivery. Success is derived not in how you implement the technology but in how you engage and inspire those who will use it.
Our experts will lead your people on your transformation journey, ensuring interaction, enthusiasm, participation and engagement. Together we will build a solution that promotes trust, reduces low-yield administrative tasks and focuses minds on delivering solutions that align to your shared vision.

Our Process:
How we can help
If you are considering ServiceNow for your organisation, we can help you explore the platform and assess it for your business.
Perhaps you are formulating a tender to replace legacy IT tooling and processes and would like us to respond.
Perhaps you are daunted by the potential licensing costs and want your requirements sanity checking so you are not paying for things you don't need.
If you already use ServiceNow, perhaps you are looking at ways to increase your value, have a specific issue, or maybe you are considering improving your support coverage for the ServiceNow platform.
Whatever your needs, we have services and experts who can really help.
Contact Us
There are various ways you can contact us!
3. Call our UK customer support team 0845 220 2201
One of our team will contact you to help answer any questions you may have.
From that initial engagement, our experts will be best placed to advise you on next steps, which may include any of the following.
Exploration Workshop
This is our opportunity to gain as much knowledge about your existing business practices and requirements as we can. We learn about the tools and versions you run today, the areas of Enterprise IT that you are looking to address (ITSM, HR, CSM, SecOps, etc), your team sizes and locations and your process maturity. In particular we want to understand the problem statements you are looking for any implementation project to address and the outcomes that are essential to its success.
Demonstrations
We will arrange a demonstration of all or any element of the ServiceNow platform. Using simple, no-nonsense language, our platform experts will show you how the product works straight from the box and can help you assess and discuss any areas that you feel require further configuration to address your specific business goals.
Invitations to tender
Our ITT team are on hand to provide detailed, easy to understand responses to your formal tender requirements. Our promise to you is that we will turn around responses quickly, comprehensively and transparently, with no hidden charges. Our mission is to arm you with realistic figures and timelines for your project.
Licence Optimisation Call
Given the highly modular licensing model, ServiceNow do not publish their standard pricing and no two subscription prices are ever the same, since pricing varies depending on a multitude of factors. However, one fact remains, that the majority of businesses using ServiceNow are not maximising their licence subscription.
If you haven’t purchased licensing as yet, or you are approaching renewal, we can help you calculate your required licensing levels, so you don’t pay for more than you need, and then only when you need it.
Implementation Roadmap
Once you have made a decision to go with ServiceNow and you have a licensing agreement, now starts the exciting bit, where your process leads, sponsors and stakeholders come together with our project manager, designer and architect to begin the implementation journey together. We follow the Scaled Agile Framework or “SAFe” (Essential and Portfolio) as the ServiceNow approved implementation approach which is proven to deliver the best results. We will advise which is the best methodology to adopt.
Audit
As a ServiceNow customer, before embarking on further change it can prove sensible to understand how well your existing technology supports your colleagues, your customers and your overall business objectives. Porting sub-optimal practices to the NOW Platform will not bring meaningful change. Our capability audit analyses your processes and your data to understand pain-points and friction, providing recommendations on remediation across technology, process and data which will improve service agility, workflow and colleague experience.
Let’s explore the key steps in the process and remember, from start to finish we can get you up and running on ServiceNow in a matter of weeks!
This is where we define how many instances your business requires and where they should be hosted, and where we ensure your security teams understand the architecture. It’s also where we agree your branding for the ServiceNow platform (back-end) and the Service Portals that your colleagues or customers see (front-end), and the place where we agree what data separation you may need.
Next we will help you understand the things to consider when you choose the Phase 1 priorities. We help you identify your big-ticket items, achieve your biggest cost savings or eliminate your highest value risks.
Now we get into the fun bit. We look at the processes that are involved in the MVP scope, what your teams do today and how ServiceNow recommends they should work. Best results usually come from following the ServiceNow best practice process, however in each case we will work with you to analyse the implications and where necessary we will build a database of deviation requirements, we call the Backlog. Each item in backlog is called a Story and each will be weighted in term of effort and will be prioritised.
Once we have a scope and a set of requirements, next comes the project planning stage. The project will be divided into fortnightly development cycles we call Sprints. The amount of work we get through in each sprint will depend on the size of the team. Additional developers can be brought in if we need to go faster. Our Project Manager will work with you to define the number of sprints and team size.
And we’re off! This is where Microsoft Teams really becomes our best friend. Each sprint cycle starts with an interactive planning call, during which we decide together which stories to deliver first. Our team begin the work. Throughout the sprint they will have daily stand-up calls where progress is reviewed, blockers are identified (and fixed) and plans are adapted to optimise results. At set points within the sprint we will invite you to Showcase calls where we demonstrate functionality by screen-share, and ask for your feedback, to verify that it works and that it delivers what you need.
The one everyone forgets! Readiness and Adoption are unsung heroes of any successful implementation. We will work with your service desks, resolver groups, process owners and other stakeholders to ensure they and everyone else is ready for go-live, verifying they have the necessary training and input throughout the project to hit the ground running from Day 1.
We did it! Your business is up and running on ServiceNow. What a journey, but we have one last task to do. We will provide hyper-care for 2 weeks following go-live to ensure any issues get dealt with fast, so your business is not affected. We monitor everything closely and ensure your teams have the accesses they need to do their jobs. And let’s not forget the cake! In true ServiceNow tradition, we will have a go-live party! And if we can’t be there in person, we will have it made and sent it to you. All we ask is that you can cut it and celebrate with us via a Teams call. After all, it’s your ServiceNow birthday so you should enjoy it.
Should you need further support, we can help provide incident and request management through a range of highly affordable support services. Should your internal team take on support for the platform, we will ensure they have all the documentation they need, and we can help them arrange certification training.
