Gartner Magic Quadrant Names ServiceNow a Leader for 6th Consecutive Year

For six years running, NYSE-listed ServiceNow, the company that makes work, work better for people, has been named a Leader in the 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Service Management Tools.1 In the 2019 report, ServiceNow is positioned the highest for its ability to execute. ServiceNow ITSM transforms the impact, speed and delivery of IT so customers can deliver great experiences, increase productivity and achieve new insights.

 

ServiceNow has 51.1 percent of the global Experience Management: IT Service Management (ITSM) market share in 2018 according to Gartner. The company was also named an August 2018 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for IT Service Management Tools,3 which recognizes vendors in the market by verified end‑user professionals, taking into account both the number of reviews and the overall user ratings.

 

Pablo Stern, senior vice president of IT Workflow Products at ServiceNow, said that ServiceNow’s leadership in ITSM stems from their belief that people’s experiences with technology at work should be as simple, easy and intuitive as they are in their personal lives. They believe their position in the market reflects their continued focus on enabling digital transformation as a strategic partner to the world’s largest enterprises, he said.

 

Unchain Innovation With ITSM

Gartner defines the IT service management (ITSM) tools market as follows: ITSM tools help infrastructure and operations (I&O) organizations manage the consumption of IT services, the infrastructure that supports the IT services and the IT organization’s responsibility in delivering these services. These are most heavily used by IT service desks and IT service delivery functions to support the tasks and workflows for processes including incident, request, problem, change, service level, knowledge and configuration management.

 

As IT leaders look to transform their service delivery model across IT, ServiceNow lets them unify the IT experience on a single platform. Customers can ensure IT is meeting service commitments while aligning to business goals and empowering the organization with insights into service delivery while identifying trends that may impact long term plans.

 

With ServiceNow, a leading credit reporting company redirected IT resources from putting out fires to delivering a superior customer experience and IT now spends 80% of its time on innovation. A children’s apparel company consolidated IT systems and accelerated service delivery, saving $3 million in license, maintenance, and hardware costs.
