The workflow routes it. We ship the change.

ServiceNow routes the work. We engineer the resolution on the other side of the route.

What we deliver under ServiceNow

ServiceNow is excellent at routing work. The bottleneck is on the other side of the route, where someone has to actually engineer the resolution and that is the bottleneck zeb removes.

Substrate beneath ServiceNow

We stand Substrate up as the engineering execution layer beneath the customer's ServiceNow instance, so tickets requiring code, configuration, or platform work route directly into engineering.

ServiceNow-tuned delivery

Delivery posture tuned to how ServiceNow expects platforms beneath it to behave by default SecOps, IRM, and change management baked into how we ship.

Closed-loop resolution

Engineering work is authored, executed, and shipped inside Substrate, and the resolution flows back into ServiceNow as a closed-loop record no manual reconciliation on customer time.

Co-architected references

Reference architectures co-architected with ServiceNow SecOps and IRM patterns most consultancies cannot match because we arrive already aligned to the platform.

Substrate solutions on ServiceNow

Pre-packaged Substrate solutions on ServiceNow

Each of these is a pre-scoped engagement shape, priced in ECUs, delivered against a known story set.

SecOps Remediation Throughput.

Vulnerability tickets in ServiceNow SecOps route into Substrate. Substrate triages by reachability, drafts the remediation, ships the fix, and writes the resolution back. The backlog stops being a number that only grows.

ITSM-Driven Engineering Execution.

Incident and request tickets that require engineering work bug fixes, configuration changes, integration work route through Substrate. Resolution stops requiring a human translator between the ticket and the repo.

IRM/GRC Continuous Evidence.

Every change Substrate ships writes evidence directly into ServiceNow IRM against the affected control. Audit season becomes an export, not a fire drill.

Custom App & Workflow Modernization.

Modernize legacy custom apps, scoped applications, and Workflow Studio implementations on the Now Platform. Substrate treats the legacy app as authoritative spec and re-engineers it against current platform capabilities.

CMDB-Aware Change Automation.

Change tickets execute as Substrate-owned engineering work, with CMDB relationships consumed as context so blast radius is known before the change is authored.

ITOM Engineering Loop.

Observability-driven engineering work performance regressions, capacity stories, reliability findings routed through ServiceNow ITOM into Substrate, executed as ordinary engineering output.

What changes for the customer

The signal scales.The shipping doesn't.

  • 01

    SecOps backlogs grow

    Vulnerability tickets pile up faster than engineering can remediate them.

  • 02

    IRM evidence drifts

    Controls fall out of sync between audits; reconciliation lives in spreadsheets.

  • 03

    Custom apps stall

    Legacy scoped apps and Workflow Studio implementations accumulate without ever being modernized.

Outcome guarantee

The work we're hired to ship, ships.

ServiceNow remains the system of record at the workflow layer; Substrate becomes the system of record at the engineering layer; the round trip closes. The same guarantee that applies anywhere else applies here.

Close the loop under the workflow.

Let's build something that lasts. Our team is ready to talk.
