Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Description of the Business | Description of the Business ServiceNow was founded on a simple premise: a better technology platform will help work flow better. We help global enterprises across industries, universities and governments to digitize their workflows. We categorize the workflows we provide into four primary areas: IT, Employee, Customer and Creator. The products under each of our workflows help customers connect work across systems and silos to enable great experiences for people. The Now Platform is uniquely positioned to enable our customers’ digital transformation from non-integrated enterprise technology solutions with manual and disconnected processes and activities, to integrated enterprise technology solutions with automation and connected processes and activities which increases our customers’ resiliency and security and delivers additional value to their employees and consumers.
