Features

ServiceNow is a cloud-based platform deployed in a browser that contains applications and data that can vary by instance and user, automating common business processes.

A leader in Enterprise Service Management (ESM), the ServiceNow Service Automation Platform provides a modern, easy-to-use, service management solution in the cloud allowing the organization to automate manual repetitive setup tasks, manage the core IT processes, standardize service delivery, and focus on the core business, not just ITSM infrastructure.

The ServiceNow platform and the applications that run on it use a single system of record and a common data model to consolidate the organization’s business processes.

Another advantage to this single system is that it can be leveraged to build custom applications.

The ServiceNow platform provides a Platform as a Service (PaaS), a cloud-based computing model that provided the infrastructure needed to develop, run, and manage applications.

It is not limited to a specific department or function but encompasses the entire enterprise.
