CreatorCon Challenge finalists ready to disrupt

They built it and showed it. Now it’s time to show it again – this time for money – on the big stage at Knowledge 2019. Buckle up finalists, it’s about to get real!

We challenged entrepreneurs to unleash innovation on the Now Platform back in October – to take the platform into new workflows in white spaces where ServiceNow isn’t, to think strategically about how to leverage the platform for what it does best – creating digital workflows that unlock productivity and delivering great experiences. In short, we’re looking for applications that will achieve product/market fit in the ServiceNow ecosystem and enable customers to drive digital transformation in enterprise- and industry-wide processes, where ServiceNow doesn’t with our out-of-the-box products.

Let’s take a look at each finalist and why we think they’ve ticked all of the boxes above.

Bluepineapple’s Green Folder is a BPMS  (Business Process Management Software) solution for public sector/government  that solves a huge problem like the one at the California DMV – manual, paper form based, unstructured, opaque, super slow and frustrating,  and error prone processing in government agency services. Green Folder combines digital workflows and document automation to transform this into a modern experience for citizens.

Workforce Connect is a predictive workforce modeling and forecasting solution that complements ServiceNow HR Service Delivery and enables businesses to generate future workforce demand plans including 3-5 year forecasts using key business data elements.

What’s Next?
