Major Cruise Line ServiceNow Success Story

ServiceNow Security & Service Mapping Transformation for a Global Cruise Line

Client Profile

  • Industry: Cruise & Leisure Travel

  • Size: Large Global Enterprise

  • Duration: 4 Months

  • Objective: Pre-Flight Assessment, CMDB stabilization, Security visibility, and Service Mapping implementation

Executive Overview

A major global cruise operator — managing infrastructure comparable to more than 20 cities afloat — faced significant operational and security challenges amid rising fuel costs, climate pressures, evolving security risks, and global pandemic disruption.

ServiceNow was selected to modernize IT operations and strengthen security visibility. After an unsuccessful start with a prior partner, ConfigureTek was engaged to rapidly stabilize and implement foundational ITSM and ITOM capabilities.

The Challenge

  • Limited visibility into critical business services

  • Gaps in infrastructure security monitoring

  • Slow response to outages and service restoration

  • Need for real-time availability reporting

  • Foundation required for future APM and SAM maturity

IT was tasked with improving operational efficiency, strengthening security posture, and supporting competitive business performance.

  • Strengthened CMDB integrity and governance

  • Implemented structured Discovery and Service Mapping

2. Business Service Mapping & Security Visibility

  • Properly mapped key business services to infrastructure

  • Enabled context-aware security monitoring

3. Operational Readiness & Future Scalability

  • Improved incident response and remediation workflows

  • Established foundations for Application Portfolio Management (APM)

  • Positioned the organization for future SAM Pro implementation

Results

  • Improved business service availability visibility

  • Faster incident response and restoration times

  • Enhanced infrastructure security monitoring

  • Stabilized ServiceNow platform after prior implementation challenges

  • Delivered within 4 months, enabling long-term modernization roadmap

Outcome
