ServiceNow Market Opportunities, M&A and Geo Expansions
In May 2022, ServiceNow unveiled its new Procurement Service Management (PSM) solution to help transform procurement across the enterprise and speed up delivery times for more straightforward sourcing tasks through digitization and self‑service.
In 2020, ServiceNow made integrations with a number of enterprise application providers during the Covid-19 pandeminc. Vonage expanded its Vonage Contact Center capabilities to include seamless integration with ServiceNow. Adobe partnered with ServiceNow as integration partner, connecting data from Adobe Experience Platform and ServiceNow’s Customer Service Management workflow product to enable more seamless, connected customer experiences.

ServiceNow Risks and Challenges
Rapid expansion of an existing company – whether organic or inorganic – can impact a company’s current infrastructure. It is important to achieve balanced growth that can be maintained by current infrastructure and personnel. It appears that ServiceNow is a well-managed business. But integration of the recently acquired business units will be key to ServiceNow’s continued growth rate of 30% YoY. Another challenge lies in the growing convergence of IT and operational technology, especially for automation of the activities like the Internet of Things at the edge of the Cloud.
Its acquisitions of Qlue and others appeared to be headed in that direction. There's a limit to how much a company can consume when it comes to Cloud apps, similar to the decelerating trend of mobile apps consumption. The real test is whether ServiceNow is up for delivery service automation at the edge and that may entail creating new apps that involve different functions such as supply chain, manufacturing execution, asset management, field service as well as devices and sensors currently not being touched by the vendor.
ServiceNow Ecosystem, Partners, Resellers and SI
In June 2022, ServiceNow expands its presence in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region with a new Poland office and the appointment of leadership in the area. The office, based in Warsaw, will serve as a hub for expertise across ServiceNow’s wider CEE region, which spans markets including the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, and Greece.
ServiceNow partnered with Deloitte to help customers accelerate their HR Service Delivery (HRSD) efforts and provide employees with exceptional digital experiences, anywhere.
