ServiceNow allows employees to work the way that they want to, not how software dictates that they have to. And customers can get what they need, when they need it.
The only constant today is change. As we have witnessed over the past few years, disruptions happen all the time and they create tremendous challenges for businesses worldwide. Businesses are constantly seeking ways to drive growth, reduce costs and manage risk. Today's organisations suffer from digital sprawl—they have tons of data sitting across a multitude of systems and vendors, making it difficult to connect, orchestrate and structure to create efficient processes and outcomes. This creates operational and technological challenges that hinder scale, create risk, diminish customer experience and stifle agility across an enterprise, regardless of their size or industry.
Businesses looking to reduce cost—and drive growth—work with ServiceNow, the intelligent platform for digital transformation. ServiceNow is not a system of record—but rather a system of action—a platform that sits atop organisations' existing data and systems, preventing the need to rip and replace those existing systems. With simple, easy-to-use interfaces that empower employees and customers, the ability to purposefully orchestrate and automate tasks and processes across their enterprise—that also extends to their ecosystems—to drive efficiency and optimisation, using customisable, low-code tools that allow organisations to quickly scale and adapt to any force, ServiceNow is the only intelligent platform that empowers organisations to grow the top line while protecting the bottom line. ServiceNow helps companies take a platform and digital-first approach that creates a better organisational posture for today and drives efficiency and growth for the future.
ServiceNow has been an integral part of the IT world for two decades. Founded in 2004 by former Peregrine Systems CTO Fred Luddy, ServiceNow began its existence on a single laptop run out of a home office, supported by one employee and a handful of dedicated volunteers.
From these humble beginnings, Luddy set out to create a cloud-based Iplatform for routing work effectively that would be powerful enough to drive business success, but simple enough that it wouldn't drive away potential users. Not surprisingly, this objective resonated with customers. The company grew quickly and in 2012 it went public.
Since then, ServiceNow has significantly expanded its offerings, bringing cloud-based, AI-enhanced technology to organisations around the globe. But even now with thousands of customers worldwide, ServiceNow remains fully committed to the same priorities that defined its mission 20 years ago: a passion for helping people get more out of technology. Now, ServiceNow offerings include IT service management, IT operations management, customer service management, human resource management, security operations, risk and compliance, workplace service delivery and field service management—all built on the award-winning ServiceNow AI Platform.
ServiceNow is powered by a singular technology stack that we call the ServiceNow AI Platform. Every solution that we sell—whether for IT, Operations, Customer Service, HR, Shared Services, Finance (back office), purpose-built Industry solutions and more—is built on the ServiceNow AI Platform. As global business continues to become more and more complex, organisations must become more efficient and simplify work in order to control costs and extract the most value from all of their technology investments. Born in the cloud with a single data model and based on a secure, task-based technology framework—with AI and machine learning built-in—the ServiceNow AI Platform enables data to flow seamlessly across applications, departments and existing systems to automate, optimise and modernise work. With a single, intelligent, low-code platform, reusable data model and single architecture, organisations in any industry can keep work flowing quickly and seamlessly, all while removing complexity for end-users. The ServiceNow AI Platform enables any company to digitise any process across their organisation with pre-built and customisable workflow solutions across functions and critical business systems by connecting them on a single platform so that companies can maximise the value of existing IT investments, reduce costs, make impactful improvements in core business processes and, ultimately, drive growth.
