Activities are the building blocks of orchestration. An activity
performs a discrete task as part of a multistep process. Orchestration
includes pre‑built activities to interact with systems typically found
in data centers and the cloud. Use activity templates and a codeless
activity designer to rapidly create orchestration activities, which
you can edit centrally, move between instances, and reuse across
multiple automation scenarios.
Orchestration use cases include end‑user productivity,
infrastructure automation, and business automation. Turnkey solutions
for user provisioning, client software distribution, and password
reset ensure that new employees are productive on day one, and quickly
get access to the tools they need to get their job done.
Orchestration also supports infrastructure, network, and business
automation. Key use cases include managed file transfer, social media
automation, and automated onboarding. If you take advantage of the
ServiceNow Cloud Management application, Orchestration serves as its foundation.
