At ServiceNow, customers have been our passion from the start. “The original founders of the company, beginning with Fred , always had the customer as the first, second, and third priority,” says CEO Bill McDermott. That passion drives us to work tirelessly to innovate on behalf of customers and help solve their business challenges. Good news travels fast. When our customers find better, easier ways to work, they want to share the experiences with others.

Creating a seamless digital support experience can make employees, service desk agents, and businesses more successful. Automating mundane, time-consuming tasks, such as triaging incidents and shifting to a proactive support model offers numerous benefits: That’s why ServiceNow and Microsoft entered a strategic partnership to help mutual customers accelerate digital transformation, create great experiences, and unlock productivity, including leveraging artificial intelligence (AI).

Activity on Now Learning, ServiceNow’s learning platform for training and certification, is on the rise. Total logins rose 25% between 2020 and 2021, and on-demand course completion increased 43%. As ServiceNow revenue continues to grow at 30% per year, the demand for skilled administrators, developers, and architects is rapidly increasing.

With a constant stream of new technology and customer questions, it can be challenging to manage it all while keeping up with all the necessary tasks to ensure things are running smoothly. For example, help desk asset management software was designed to help with providing IT support services to customers while also managing company assets.

Service management needs to change. The philosophies and understanding that gave way to the original concept of ITSM have been overtaken by time and perspective, rendering them outdated and leaving IT managers grasping with how to move forward. Because the various factors of work are constantly shifting (shown most clearly over the course of the last two years, but broadly true of any given period of time in tech), we need to be limber in our ways of thinking of these concepts.

At ServiceNow, we ushered in spring with an upgrade to the Now Platform: the San Diego release. A refresher in more ways than one, the San Diego release incorporates new features, products, and applications to power productivity and automation. In a world where innovation happens at the speed of light, ServiceNow works to empower our customers with the latest technology so that work flows smoothly. Our purpose, after all, is to make the world work better for everyone.
