Over the past two decades, expectations of technology have changed immensely with demands for instant results and fast-paced lifestyles that require mobile capabilities. Rewind back to 2004: Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook from his dorm room at Harvard, three years prior to the release of the iPhone, and the same year that niche cloud computing company, ServiceNow® was founded.
For the past 15 years, ServiceNow has simplified daily tasks through the power of technology. Present day, the Now Platform is delivering automated employee experiences to almost 75% of the Fortune 500.
“When I started ServiceNow in 2004, my vision was to build a cloud-based platform that would enable regular people to route work effectively through the enterprise.” -Fred Luddy, ServiceNow Founder
