ServiceNow

ServiceNow is the enterprise ITSM gold standard with CMDB-driven workflow automation, AI-powered incident resolution, and field service for IT operations.

Founded 2003 · Headquartered in Santa Clara, California · Category: Business Application

Overview

ServiceNow is the enterprise ITSM platform of record for the majority of large technology organizations. Its core value is the configuration management database (CMDB) — a unified inventory of every IT asset, service, and dependency — which underpins incident, change, and problem management as well as adjacent workflows in field service, HR, and customer operations. For IT and technology field-services teams already running ServiceNow ITSM, the field service module is a natural extension; for organizations not on ServiceNow, it is rarely the right starting point.

Pricing

ServiceNow pricing starts at approximately $100/user/month and scales materially based on modules deployed (ITSM, CSM, HR, FSM), user count, and integration scope. Pricing is structured as enterprise contracts with significant professional services investment for implementation. Engage ServiceNow directly for a scoped quote based on the organization’s existing platform footprint.
