The Power of The NOW Platform 

ServiceNow stands out as the AI platform for business by uniquely combining enterprise workflow capabilities with embedded AI across its Now Platform. It transforms complex business processes by applying AI within existing workflows, automating routine tasks while preserving governance and compliance. The platform’s strengths lie in its deep understanding of enterprise processes, secure handling of proprietary business data, and ability to orchestrate AI-powered automation across departments. Some of the platform’s key strengths include: 

  • Automation: ServiceNow’s workflow capabilities provide a unified platform for automating and orchestrating business processes across the enterprise. The platform enables organizations to design, implement, and optimize workflows using low-code tools, integrations, and pre-built templates. Flow Designer and Integration Hub allow for complex process automation and cross-system orchestration, while Process Automation Designer enables visual mapping and optimization of business processes. 
  • Integration Capabilities: A robust integration framework via Integration Hub allows seamless connection with existing enterprise systems, creating a unified digital service architecture. Digital workflows that orchestrate process steps across multiple systems eliminate the need to “swivel seat” actions, reducing the strain on team members and increasing the response and completion time of said requests and tasks. 
  • Low-Code Development: ServiceNow’s App Engine is a comprehensive low-code development platform that enables rapid creation of enterprise applications. It features drag-and-drop interfaces, pre-built templates, and reusable components for building workflows, forms, and user interfaces. The platform includes Flow Designer for process automation, Integration Hub for connecting systems, and UI Builder for creating modern experiences. App Engine supports both citizen developers and professional developers with features like automated testing, version control, and deployment management, all while maintaining enterprise-grade security and governance. 
  • AI: ServiceNow’s AI capabilities center on Now Intelligence and Now Assist, providing natural language processing, predictive analytics, and generative AI across the platform. These core features enable automated workflows, intelligent service interactions, and data-driven insights. The platform includes industry-specific AI solutions and robust governance controls, all integrated within the Now Platform to enhance automation and decision-making across enterprise operations.
