From Being ServiceNow’s Customer #4: My 18-Year Perspective on Riding the Wave from (ITSM — SaaS) to Global Powerhouse!

Hey ServiceNow Superfans,

Welcome to this edition of “What the Huck”! Strap in because I’m about to take you on a roller-coaster ride through the mesmerizing journey of ServiceNow. Ah, what a ride it’s been! From being one of its earliest adopters as customer #4 while at GIA to wearing the ServiceNow — Solution Architect hat in 2006 and waving the ServiceNow flag till today — I’ve been there, seen it, and boy did a LOT of it!

The Humble Beginnings

Picture this: a time when ServiceNow was the new kid on the block, bursting onto the scene with a promise to reinvent business operations. Its superpower? ITSM — turning IT chaos into organized, streamlined magic. But here’s the kicker: even though it was wowing everyone in the ITSM arena, I always knew something more extensive was in the pipeline.

The Grand Pivot

Guess what? I was right! ServiceNow wasn’t just about ITSM. It was a sleeping giant, a flexible, robust platform ready to mold into whatever an enterprise could dream of. And as the years rolled on, the world began to see ServiceNow’s true colors. We weren’t just fixing IT problems but crafting intricate workflows, boosting productivity, and championing innovation across all sectors. High-five, ServiceNow!
