Story
Inside Datadog, shared services used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of the United States. HR, facilities, and finance ops needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Datadog uses HR Service Delivery from ServiceNow as the working layer for employee requests. ServiceNow is the enterprise workflow platform for IT, employee, and customer service, with a single data model across departments. The practical change is simple: shared services has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Datadog gets from ServiceNow is a durable place to run shared services and a way for HR, facilities, and finance ops to see the same employee requests at the same time.
