**Note:** Portions of Impact may not be available to users in the FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, or Australia IRAP-Protected data centers, to self-hosted users, or in other restricted environments, or to managed service providers \(except for their internal  use\).

## Impact package levels

Depending on your Impact package level \(Guided, Advanced, or Total\), you receive:

-   Support tools and self-help resources
-   Human-led engagements
-   Credits, discounts, and additional benefits

## Human expertise

Impact provides access to expert support through the following offerings:

-   24/7 Support: Provides 24/7 technical support to resolve platform issues

## Impact operating model

The Impact operating model is a structured approach delivered by your Impact Squad to maximize value from the ServiceNow platform. This model maintains focus, prevents scope drift, and enables adaptation to evolving organizational needs.

The model connects your strategic vision to action through two phases:

-   Foundations: Establishes your baseline and plan
-   Steady State: Helps sustain progress through ongoing reviews and support

## Foundations phase

The Foundations phase launches the experience by baselining your current state and creating a tailored roadmap to accelerate time to value. Foundations lays the groundwork for every action you take on the platform.

## Steady State phase

The Steady State phase maintains momentum through regular, consistent initiatives such as:

-   Platform health reviews
-   Operational checks
-   Performance assessments

These activities maintain alignment with your business goals.
