ServiceNow unveiled the Now Platform Paris release to help organizations remain agile and be resilient so they can grow and enhance their productivity during the COVID economy.
With ServiceNow workflows, people can work smarter and organizations can realize faster time to value from their technology investments.
“The C-suite realizes that 20th-century architectures are too slow and siloed in today’s fluid working environment, where they need speed and agility,” said Chirantan “CJ” Desai, CPO at ServiceNow. “The ServiceNow advantage has always been one architecture, one data model and one born-in-the-cloud platform that delivers workflows companies need and great experiences employees and customers expect. The Now Platform Paris release provides smart experiences powered by AI, resilient operations, and the ability to optimize spend. Together, they will provide businesses with the agility they need to help them thrive in the COVID economy.”
