What is ServiceNow?

ServiceNow is a cloud-based platform for automating workflows. It enables enterprises to improve operational efficiency by automating and streamlining routine tasks. The software has its roots in IT service management (ITSM). Over time, it has evolved to become one of the most popular enterprise service management platforms. It unites all business functions starting from security to HR and much more.

Why ServiceNow?

ServiceNow has been at the pinnacle of PaaS (Platform as a Service) solution for a few years. And it has been growing exponentially year-on-year. This tool has proved to be an asset to organizations that want to transform IT.

Today, we have compiled some of the reasons you might want to jump on the ServiceNow bandwagon.

Simplicity

ServiceNow has changed the way people work. Since 2003, the company has been one of the fastest-growing tech companies of all time. It is an enterprise cloud company that provides a service model that defines, automates, and structures an organization’s flow of work.

Speed

This tool manages everything as a service. ServiceNow helps enterprises operate faster and become more scalable. It achieves this by putting a service-oriented lens on tasks, activities, and processes that make up the day-to-day activities of a business.

One of the reasons ServiceNow is so efficient is that it gives users a solid platform straight out of the box. Users can then easily build the forms and work on the rules quickly. They do not need to worry about the structure of their databases.

The tool also has a very open architecture, so it can plug into different systems and processes that are otherwise not represented.

Powerful

Another reason to integrate ServiceNow is its sheer power. It enables organizations of all sizes to define services, deliver services, provide intuitive service experiences, analyze critical service metrics, and ensure service availability.

Here are some of the tools available to you:

Application Development

This tool allows you to build, test, and publish applications tailored to a single department or the entire enterprise. There is very little coding required. Almost anyone can build a business application for any line of business.

  • Field Service Management

Field Service Management replaces e-mails, spreadsheets, and other clunky management tools with a single system.

  • Finance Service Management

ServiceNow allows you to fulfill submitted requests, including procurement, financial reports, and payroll issues. You gain visibility into trends and work requests over time.

  • HR Service Management

You can build an engagement system that works with existing apps for core HR talent and workforce management.

  • IT Service Management

ITSM automates and consolidates service management processes. It also lowers costs and increases efficiency. You can focus on creating a self-service experience that users will love.

  • Security Operation

ServiceNow enables you to systematically manage security incidents, visualize the impact of security investments, and prioritize vulnerabilities. This way, you can adapt to changing conditions fast.

Ubiquity

ServiceNow is a cloud-based platform as a service. The biggest benefit of ServiceNow being cloud-based is that there are no ties to local resources. You can easily scale it across multiple networks.

Unlike the competition, the design of ServiceNow allows it to work in the cloud. It also allows it to withstand the stresses of enterprise IT. Most cloud-based services can’t withstand the rigors of enterprise IT.

ServiceNow is for a large enterprise. It has the requisite endurance to deal with the IT industry’s pressures, customer requirements, and scalability.
