Accelerating Corporate Responsibility and Compliance with ServiceNow

Facing the deprecation of its legacy task management system, Danish utility company Fjernvarme Fyn sought a modern, unified platform to enhance operational excellence and prove compliance with key corporate responsibility standards. By implementing ServiceNow IT Service Management (ITSM), the company not only replaced its old tool but established a strategic foundation for enterprise-wide service management. The initial success in IT led to a rapid expansion into Contract Management and opened up for a natural process to evaluate ServiceNow’s potential for fulfilling future needs.

The Ambition: Driving a Future-Ready and Unified Enterprise

Invest in a Future-Proof Operational Platform

The deprecation of a legacy system created a strategic opportunity. The ambition was to move beyond a simple replacement and invest in a modern platform to ensure long-term business continuity and drive operational excellence.

Uphold Excellence in Corporate Responsibility & Compliance

The goal was to proactively demonstrate compliance with key certifications like DS 49001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. This required moving to a more robust and transparent system that could actively support the company’s high standards.

Unify Service Management Across the Enterprise

The company aimed to break down functional silos by adopting a single, powerful platform. The ambition was to extend service management beyond just the IT department to several business functions, creating a more integrated and efficient enterprise.

Transforming Service Management with ServiceNow

Fjernvarme Fyn chose ServiceNow for its broad capabilities that aligned with this enterprise-wide vision. The implementation, managed in partnership with Adeno, was accelerated by internal champions who had previous experience with the platform and could effectively drive organizational adoption.

This strategic view was central to the project’s success. As David, IT Manager at Fjernvarme Fyn, confirms, “ServiceNow and Adeno showed us the importance of consolidating processes and workflows in an enterprise-wide strategic platform for the future.”

Significant Business Value and Platform Expansion

Fjernvarme Fyn has already experienced significant benefits from using ServiceNow for IT Service Management. The platform’s success made it the obvious choice for expansion. Fjernvarme Fyn implemented Contract Management this summer and is currently assessing Field Service Management. As a key result, Fjernvarme Fyn now prioritizes assessing ServiceNow’s potential when it looks at solutions, demonstrating high trust and a significant return on their investment.

The initial value of our implementation of ServiceNow ITSM was apparent almost immediately. We saw a significant interest in not only collaboration with IT, but also in ServiceNow as a product. We now have a desirable platform that the entire enterprise can benefit from. We have already expanded into Contract Management, and we’re currently assessing other areas. Our ability to expand and build on the platform is a huge advantage.

A Collaborative Success

Adeno and Fjernvarme Fyn collaborated closely throughout the development and migration process. Adeno contributed to the project’s success by actively listening to Fjernvarme Fyn‘s needs, respecting the company’s maturity and roadmap, and providing active help and understanding. Adeno Learning also provided ServiceNow-training to ensure a successful rollout. Reflecting on the collaboration, David describes Adeno as “a true partner” who “took the time to understand our specific ambitions and our needs.” He adds that their team’s expertise was critical in helping Fjernvarme Fyn not only implement the technology but also drive the necessary organizational changes for a successful adoption.
