Webinar: From Manicures to Motorcycles - How the ServiceNow and INRY Experience Transcends Industries

During their careers, people switch multiple organizations spanning different industries. Some of them would have seen ServiceNow's value firsthand in past jobs, and when moving to a new organization, these experiences can be invaluable to their new employer – even when the business context is seemingly different.

Belinda Eastlack, currently a Senior ServiceNow Administrator at Polaris, had the opportunity to spearhead ServiceNow adoption in her previous organization - a high-end salon services retailer. While working with this luxury services retailer, Belinda partnered with INRY and ServiceNow to drive IT, customer and employee transformation initiatives, which resulted in improved service levels and cost savings of 20-50%.

While motorcycle, snowmobile, and ATV manufacturing would seem to have little in common with salon services, the value proposition for Belinda's current employer Polaris is the same – improving the efficiency, transparency, and quality of request management user experience.

In this session, Belinda explained how ServiceNow evangelists can bring their past experiences to solve their employer's most critical issues with enterprise service request management to help transform the business.
