What does the ServiceNow Platform do?

Today, the enterprise is a nest of complexity, and what ServiceNow does is design workflows that enable beautiful engaging experiences. These workflows can involve organizations customers or internal employees, increasing the level of engagement from both sides, while decreasing complexity and manual touch points.

The platform aims for true productivity improvement through digital transformation, and we already know that this is not about “making work a little bit better or different” but rethinking work itself.

The systems of record in the enterprise that have taken 50 years to build have actually created a lot of complexity. What ServiceNow does, is compose workflows that make work, work better for people. It gives a consumer grade experience in the enterprise. It helps business leaders achieve their missions.

While the ServiceNow platform can in many cases help organizations to simplify their application landscape, it can also integrate with almost every other core application on the market, acting as the connector between them. This way, you can have workflows that interact across multiple systems, but can be intelligently operated through the platform, leveraging capabilities like AI, Automation and a simple enjoyable interface.

What’s in it for me?

While the platform has been known in the past as an “ITSM Tool”, its roots are with platform at the core, and it has matured in ways that can help organizations in multiple ways to extend beyond IT and across the enterprise.

For employees, it translates to better seamless digital experiences, enabling them to remove the noise of multiple systems and enabling them to do their work in a more simple way through digital workflows that can be applied to virtually any process.

For new employees it offers a beautiful onboarding experience ensuring the new joiners arrive to your organization with everything they need to start working on day one.

For leadership, it enables them to have an historical, forward looking or real time picture of what’s happening in the different areas of the organization, allowing them to take actions immediately, or automatically driven through workflow, all through mobile or browser-based dashboards.

For DevOps teams, it allows developers and operational teams to seamlessly work with their preferred repositories while allowing them to have control of their deployment and change management visibility across the organization.
