Role Overview
- Client is seeking three senior Technology Catalog / ServiceNow Consultants to support ADP's enterprise Technology Catalog and IT Simplification program.
- Each Consultant will serve as the primary Client consulting resource supporting approximately two to three ADP business units. The role will work directly with business and technology stakeholders to understand technology needs and use cases, evaluate those requirements against capabilities already available within ADP, identify opportunities for reuse and rationalization, improve the quality and completeness of Technology Catalog information, and support target-state technology and governance decisions.
- This is a senior consulting and architecture-oriented role requiring the ability to bridge business requirements, enterprise architecture, technology portfolio management, data quality, ServiceNow capabilities, and technology governance.
- The Consultants will work as part of a five-person Client team under the coordination of the Client Lead Consultant. Priorities and work assignments will be established through ADP's Technology Governance Council (TGC).
Key Responsibilities:
- Business Unit Engagement & Technology Needs Assessment

- Identify where existing ADP technologies or capabilities can satisfy new or emerging business requirements.
Technology Reuse & Rationalization:
- Compare business-unit requirements with technologies and capabilities already available within ADP.
- Identify opportunities to reuse existing technology rather than introduce redundant technologies or applications.
- Assess potential application and technology rationalization opportunities, including consolidation, modernization, migration, standardization, and retirement.
- Identify duplicate or overlapping capabilities across applications and technologies.
- Develop fact-based recommendations and supporting analysis for consideration by Enterprise Architecture and the TGC.

ServiceNow & Technology Catalog Enablement
- Apply strong working knowledge of ServiceNow capabilities to support ADP's Technology Catalog objectives.
- Assess how ServiceNow SAM Pro and other relevant ServiceNow capabilities can support technology inventory, discovery, governance, rationalization, and decision-making.

- Support alignment of Technology Catalog information with applicable ServiceNow CSDM concepts and ADP's existing service and technology models.
