What's ServiceNow

In today's fast-paced digital world, businesses need efficient ways to manage their operations and deliver exceptional services. Enter ServiceNow, a leading cloud-based platform designed to streamline and automate enterprise service management (ESM). Founded in 2004 by Fred Luddy, ServiceNow has revolutionized how organizations handle IT services and beyond. Once Fred said the following:


"It frustrated me to no end that IT professionals could make regular business folks feel so inadequate. For the first nine months, we built our platform and presented it to various people, only to be met with a collective yawn. Fast forward nearly 15 years, and now they are utilizing The Platform exactly as we had envisioned.”


— Fred Luddy, Founder of ServiceNow
