ServiceNow Without the Ticket Hell

Jan 20, 2026 By Kosli In Kosli
ServiceNow is the system of record for change and approvals in most regulated enterprises. But when evidence lives elsewhere — scattered across CI tools, scanners, tickets, and screenshots — approvals slow down and audits become painful. Developers waste hours chasing proof. CABs approve changes without confidence. Auditors reconstruct history months later. In this video, Matt Bailey shows what changes when evidence is produced continuously, directly from the delivery pipeline, and linked into ServiceNow workflows.

Evidence, Not Screenshots

Jan 20, 2026 By Kosli In Kosli
In regulated environments, slow change is often blamed on process. In reality, it’s caused by missing, fragmented, or untrusted proof. Screenshots. Tickets. Manual approvals. Evidence assembled after the fact. In this video, we show what changes when compliance policies are embedded directly into release workflows — and when immutable, machine-readable evidence is captured automatically across CI/CD.

Evidence, Not Screenshots. How Teams Stay Always Audit-Ready in ServiceNow

Jan 20, 2026 By Bruce Johnston In Kosli
In regulated environments, slow change is often blamed on process. Too many approvals. Too much governance. Too much red tape. But in reality, most delays are not caused by regulation itself. They are caused by missing, fragmented, or untrusted evidence. Screenshots pasted into tickets. Proof assembled weeks later. Approvals stalled because no one can confidently say whether a change actually meets policy. When evidence is an afterthought, compliance turns into chaos.

ServiceNow Without the Ticket Hell

Jan 20, 2026 By Bruce Johnston In Kosli
ServiceNow is the system of record for change and approvals in most regulated enterprises. And yet, for many teams, it has become the place where delivery slows to a crawl. Not because ServiceNow is broken. But because the evidence model underneath it is. Developers ship fast through modern CI/CD pipelines, automated tests, and security scans, only to hit a wall when changes reach approval. Tickets bounce back. Evidence is questioned. Screenshots do not tell the full story. CABs hesitate. Releases wait.

How AI amplifies your entire engineering culture

Jan 20, 2026 By Cristina Buenahora In Cortex
Anyone who has ever attempted to learn the guitar knows the lure of buying high-end gear. Surely, an expensive guitar and a best-in-class amplifier will hide the fact that you only know a few chords and maybe the lead line to that one song you keep hearing on the radio. What most players find out, however, is that spending thousands of dollars on gear doesn't change the fact that you're not that good yet.
