ServiceNow AI Platform Admin
A career-focused, hands-on program: start with platform and ITSM foundations, progress through data, security, automation, CMDB and analytics, then configure, deploy and govern Now Assist and AI agents on the ServiceNow AI Platform.
What is a ServiceNow AI Platform Admin?
A ServiceNow AI Platform Admin configures, secures, and operates the Now Platform so AI-powered workflows run reliably in production. Most admin courses end at tables, forms, and update sets. This program ends only when your instance runs governed AI agents — built in AI Agent Studio, monitored, and connected to a measurable business outcome.
- •Tables & data model
- •Forms & lists
- •Security & ACLs
- •Update sets
- •Flow Designer
- •Business rules
- •Integrations
- •AI Agent Studio
- •Monitoring & analytics
- •Release & upgrades
- •Adoption
- •Value
They know enough across the whole platform to configure, challenge and connect specialist work — and go deep in at least one verified anchor module.
- •Keeping the instance secure, governed, and upgrade-safe
- •Establishing update sets and gates at every release seam
- •Ensuring AI agents behave safely from pilot through production
- •Escalating the moment risk exceeds authority
Built for people moving into AI platform work.
Prior experience: none required. JavaScript appears only where it supports admin-level configuration, security or troubleshooting.
Administer the platform — and operate its AI safely.

Autonomous IT Service Operations — from idea to governed go-live.
A fictional enterprise receives a high volume of repetitive incidents. Knowledge is fragmented, routing is inconsistent, resolution notes vary in quality and privileged fulfilment actions require strong control. Leadership wants better service speed without compromising data security, auditability or human accountability.
You act as the ServiceNow AI Platform Administrator responsible for platform readiness, configuration, security, testing, governance and operational handover.
- •Users can access only the records and functions appropriate to their roles
- •AI outputs reference approved context and remain within the defined use case
- •Privileged or high-impact actions require explicit control or approval
- •Failures, low-confidence outcomes and prohibited requests follow safe fallback paths
- •Administrators can trace actions, review usage and stop unsafe behavior
- •The solution includes measurable service, quality, risk and adoption outcomes
The ServiceNow AI Platform stack, end to end.
Product access depends on the applications, plugins, subscriptions and roles available in the training environment. Where a licensed enterprise capability is unavailable, learners use instructor demonstrations, design simulations and evidence-based configuration exercises.
You don't watch videos. You leave with workplace evidence.
Every module ends in a lab, and every lab produces an artifact you can show an employer — eleven capabilities, eleven pieces of proof.
Taught by engineers who shipped agentic AI to production.
Manikanta is the founder of Digital Edify and brings 15 years of enterprise platform architecture from AT&T, Salesforce, Cox Communications, and Broadcom — where he led ITSM, ITOM, HRSD, and CSM rollouts for Fortune-500 banks, telcos, and insurers. Most recently he architected production Now Assist + AI Agent Studio deployments that replaced traditional triage tiers with autonomous case-handling.
His classes get you two things other programs don't give you: a founding architect who's shipped enterprise ServiceNow + AI from inside the Fortune 500, and a curriculum rewritten every release (currently Zurich) — so when hiring managers ask about CMDB Workspaces, AI Agent Studio sub-flows, or ITOM Visibility, you've already built it. M.S. in Engineering, Purdue University.
Ravi is Chief Technologist at Digital Edify, where he leads the ITOM and operations-engineering practice. After 8 years building and running production DevOps pipelines, he stepped into the Chief Technologist seat to wire AIOps, Now Assist, and Discovery into the way operations teams actually work — CMDB that stays accurate through change windows, Event Management that filters noise before it hits humans, and Service Operations Workspace that on-call engineers don't fight with.
His ITOM modules are built from real outage post-mortems, not slide decks. Expect to leave with working Discovery patterns, Event Management rule packs, MID Server topology, and a CMDB you can stake an SLA on. Ten years at Digital Edify, eight of them shipping DevOps in production — Hyderabad-based, hands-on, and known for the unglamorous parts of ServiceNow that everyone else skips.
