Centralising AI Governance and Integration in Modern ITSM

The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in IT Service Management (ITSM) is transforming the way organisations deliver value, ensure compliance, and drive innovation. At Knowledge 2025, ServiceNow unveiled its AI Control Tower—a groundbreaking platform designed to centralise the governance, management, and integration of all AI agents, models, and workflows.

A New Standard in AI Governance

As enterprises across Europe and Africa accelerate their digital transformation journeys, the need for robust AI oversight has never been clearer. ServiceNow’s AI Control Tower provides a single, unified interface for monitoring, policy enforcement, and risk mitigation. This centralisation is vital for IT leaders seeking to maintain control over increasingly complex AI estates, ensuring that security and compliance are never compromised.

Seamless Integration Across the Enterprise

What truly sets the AI Control Tower apart is its deep integration capabilities. The platform is engineered to connect effortlessly with existing ServiceNow workflows, ITSM tools, and third-party applications. This means organisations can orchestrate AI-powered processes directly within their established service management environment, eliminating silos and streamlining operations.

Integration features include:

• API Connectivity: The AI Control Tower offers robust APIs, enabling IT teams to integrate external AI models, data sources, and automation tools with minimal friction.

• Unified Data Management: Organisations can aggregate data from disparate systems, ensuring a holistic view of AI performance, compliance, and outcomes.

• Automated Workflows: By integrating with ServiceNow’s workflow engine, the platform enables automated incident response, change management, and service delivery—powered by AI insights.

• Scalable Architecture: Whether an enterprise is managing a handful of AI agents or hundreds, the Control Tower’s scalable design ensures seamless integration and growth.

Driving Business Value Through Integration

For medium to large organisations, especially those operating in diverse regulatory landscapes, the ability to integrate AI governance with broader ITSM processes is a strategic differentiator. ServiceNow’s solution empowers IT departments to accelerate AI adoption while maintaining visibility, control, and agility.
