Deloitte had a problem to solve. It’s the world’s largest professional services company, with 300,000 employees in 150 countries and territories around the world. The firm’s leadership recognized that as demands on its workforce increased, inconsistent approaches to service management were impeding Deloitte’s ability to consolidate and scale worldwide. Deloitte addressed this and other growth issues by adopting the Now Platform as a foundation of its digital transformation.

In the life of a hardware asset, there is only one point when we know for sure we have what we purchased: When we first receive the asset. This hardware asset scenario reminds me being a little kid and playing catch with my neighbor. I would take a new baseball out of the package and throw it over the fence to him. He would catch it and then throw it back. Sometimes he would try to trick me and throw a different ball back over the fence: an old baseball, a softball, and one time a soccer ball.

I’m excited that ServiceNow has been named a Leader in the 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Software Asset Management Tools.

As an executive your focus is always on delivering the most value from every investment. Value for your customers, and of course value for yourself.

Implementing change in large organizations is always a challenge, and the City of Copenhagen, with its 45,000 employees, is no exception. Three years ago, we embarked on a journey to implement a central enterprise service management portal using ServiceNow HR Service Delivery. Our objective was to improve the employee experience.
