Get off Clarity, Planview, or SAP PPM — without freezing delivery
Everyone already agrees the legacy tool has to go. What stalls the move is in-flight work, historical financial data, and a delivery community that has survived two previous tool changes. We plan the migration around those realities instead of pretending they don't exist.

What this looks like today
- The legacy PPM tool is renewed every year because nobody can face the migration.
- Project managers maintain the tool for reporting and a spreadsheet for actually managing work.
- A previous migration attempt was scoped as a data-lift and quietly abandoned.
- Finance depends on legacy reports, so the old system cannot be switched off.
- You already own ServiceNow SPM licences while the legacy tool keeps consuming budget.
Why it keeps happening
Most failed migrations are scoped as technical data-lift exercises. They replicate the legacy tool's configuration in ServiceNow, which means the same frustrations arrive in a new interface — and adoption collapses.
The second failure mode is a big-bang cutover. When every portfolio moves on the same weekend, any single data or reporting gap becomes an enterprise-level incident, and confidence never recovers.
The third is ignoring finance. If month-end reporting cannot be produced from ServiceNow, the legacy system stays alive indefinitely and you pay for both.
How LivTeq fixes it
Scoped and led by Chief Technical Architects and senior ServiceNow consultants with hands-on SPM delivery experience.
Decision-first data scoping
We start from the reports and decisions that must survive the move, then work backwards to the minimum data set required. Everything else is archived out of the legacy tool rather than migrated into ServiceNow.
Target operating model, not a like-for-like rebuild
Demand intake, portfolio and program structure, stage gates, and project types are designed for how you want to run planning — using ServiceNow SPM as intended rather than recreating legacy workarounds.
Wave-based cutover by portfolio
Each portfolio gets an agreed cutover point, a short parallel reporting period, and a defined legacy retirement date. Risk stays contained to one portfolio at a time.
Financial continuity
Budget baselines, forecast structures, and cost allocation rules are stood up in SPM and reconciled against legacy output before switch-off, so finance signs off rather than resists.
Adoption built into the plan
Role-based enablement for PMs, resource managers, and executives, delivered per wave. Change fatigue is treated as a delivery risk with an owner, not a communications afterthought.
Legacy retirement
Formal decommissioning with archived history, documented data lineage, and licence savings realised — the step most migrations never actually complete.
