ServiceNow Migration in Durham
Moving Durham organisations onto ServiceNow from an existing service management tool, where the strongest pull is the wrong one. Teams ask for the new platform to work exactly as the old one did — including the workarounds invented for the old one's limitations — and a faithful reproduction buys a considerably more expensive version of what you already had.
Why this comes up
The problem
The requirements document describes the previous tool, screen by screen, including the parts everybody complained about.
What you get
What we deliver
- Requirements separated from descriptions of how the old tool behaved
- Standard process adopted where the previous constraint no longer applies
- Ticket history migrated selectively, based on what people genuinely reference
- Reference data cleansed rather than carried across as it stands
- Users prepared for a different tool, not reassured it will feel the same
- The old platform kept readable for a defined period after cutover

Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.

ServiceNow Migration in Durham — common questions
- Why not reproduce the old workflows?
- Because many of them exist to work around limitations that no longer apply. Rebuilding them faithfully means paying to customise a capable platform into an imitation of a less capable one, and it removes most of the benefit the business case relied on.
- How much ticket history should move?
- Enough to answer questions people actually ask, which is usually a year or two of closed records and everything still open. Full history is expensive to migrate and validate, and most of it is never read again after the first month.
- What about our reference data?
- Treat migration as the chance to clean it. Categories, assignment groups and service definitions accumulate duplicates and obsolete entries in every long-running tool, and importing them intact means starting the new platform with the same reporting problems.
- How should users be prepared?
- Honestly. Telling people it will feel familiar sets up disappointment on day one, whereas explaining what changes and why builds tolerance for the adjustment — and the fulfiller teams are the ones whose adoption determines whether the programme succeeds.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
