What Is SNOW

I am posting rather a dumb question but why ServiceNow is being called by many as SNOW? How much right or wrong is this? Is it actually a industrial term you use or is it just some people have shortened it ?

That is correct - there is an Asset Management software called Snow and we had it at a work  place  as well as ServiceNow . At my new place there is even a server called "SNOW" . So better to use the term ServiceNow .

Interesting question.



I believe it has to do with the logo and the brand positioning. NOW is positioned as one word and the S is just the first word of the first part of the brand. I was surprised the first time i heard ServiceNow was called SNOW, but i guess this could be a reasonable reason of how people started to call it SNOW.

You'll also notice a concrete correlation between the reputability of the staffing firms looking, and their use of "SNOW" as a substitute name.   I have a mail rule sending all subject lines containing SNOW to trash.


I knew you would reply while posting this I have seen your comments on the related discussion on LinkedIn few months back
