    Acknowledgments

    Thanks to my parents: my dad, the late Mr. Subramanyam, and my mom, Mrs. Surekha, who gave birth to me, and all the sacrifices they have made to raise me and my siblings. Without them I would not have gained the knowledge I have. Mom and dad, you have been there day after day, to make sure my life turned out this way. I miss you dad. Thanks for the support mom.

    An important acknowledgement goes to my sweet and great wife, Mrs. Padma, without whom I would not have completed this book--she has been pushing and motivating me every day throughout the journey to complete this book. She compromised on the family time; at times I feel I have a warrior when she is next to me. Thanks for all your love and motivation my sweet wife. 

    I can't explain how much my kids missed their dad's time over the course of writing this book. I was lucky to have my sweet kids, Dhrithi and Smrithi, who could understand and be supportive. They used to check with me about the progress of this book. Thanks kids, you are the sweetest. 

    Thanks to my sisters, Ajitha and Aisu, who supported my growth and education throughout my life by providing guidance and support. Thanks for being my sisters.

    My thanks to all my employers: Cognizant, PwC, Event Consulting, and Sathyam, for providing me an opportunity to work at an organization that has, either directly or indirectly, helped me gain the knowledge to write this book.

    Thanks to all my colleagues, especially Mr. Raja Rangenathan and Mr. Praveen Challa, my friends, my family, and all others who have helped me either directly or indirectly to complete this book. 

    Thanks to the Packt team for giving me this opportunity and help in all the stages of completing this book.

    Last but not least, I cannot forget to thank Mr. Fred Luddy for creating such a wonderful product, ServiceNow. 

    About the Reviewers

    Chatarina Lyth has 20 years of experience in the IT industry and 10 years of work experience in IT Operations Management. She has, over the years, worked as a consultant, implementing several of the leading ITOM tools in large enterprises, in the private as well as public sectors. Chatarina joined the ServiceNow ITOM team in 2014, and has been part of the journey ServiceNow has made since then.

    Tcat (formerly Tim Catura-Houser) transitioned from vacuum-tube (valve) computers in 1965. He got really excited when the Altair got Microsoft BASIC around 1973, because he could have a computer at home. More recently (March 2017), he was surprised with the President's Award from h t t p ://w w w . e t a - i . o r g / for being a dedicated volunteer.

    His career as a global road warrior has included both being a field geek and trainer, only sometimes to his extreme peril. His MCP number 416024 in 2017 marks 20 years as an MCSE.

    While some of the titles he has worked on are lost to history, he quit counting after 50. Some of them can be found on Amazon by his former and current names.

    Certainly, it is easy for me to say I cannot remember doing a tactical editing project that brought me so many smiles. Your author did an amazing job. On the internal side, I experienced equal pleasure. In my own mind I call it the tale of 2 Jays. Judie and Juliana at Packt are two astounding individuals! To me, they are more than professional. They are what I would have to call, buddies.
