ServiceNow Launches StoreKNOWLEDGE15 - ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW), the enterprise cloud company, today launched the ServiceNow Store for both paid and free applications and integrations developed on the ServiceNow platform. At launch, there are more than 80 certified applications and integrations available for any ServiceNow customer to download and begin using immediately. Today's IT organizations face constant pressure to provide new applications to meet ever-changing business needs. They must balance the faster time-to-value from applications they can buy with the costs of developing and implementing custom apps. For customers already using ServiceNow solutions, they can have the best of both worlds. The store will enable IT organizations be more agile, flexible and responsive to the needs of the business. "Our customers know they can always do more with ServiceNow but don't always have the time or skills to create their own apps," said Pat Casey, vice president and general manager, ServiceNow Platform Business Unit. "The store will inspire customers by providing ready-to-run apps for services they might have never imagined they could automate. We hope our customers will feel like 'kids in a candy store'." The store features value-added business applications created by technology partners, solution providers, systems integrators and service providers. Long-time ServiceNow partners Cloud Sherpas, Fruition Partners and others have developed some of the initial applications including:
"For years, our ServiceNow applications have helped Service Management professionals across the enterprise to maximize the business value of this platform, including key features like workflow automation, security, and integration," said Patrick Stonelake, co-founder and chief growth officer at Fruition Partners. "We're excited about the Store because it makes it easier for customers to access that business value immediately by installing apps like our new LIFT Intake." "Adding the store to ServiceNow's ecosystem is a catalyst to greater customer transformation and value," said Herbert Uhl, CEO, MobiChord. "Customers have already seen the advantage of using ServiceNow to manage and deploy their IT and business services. Now they will realize exponential value by selecting from an ever growing pool of apps running on that platform." ServiceNow Store provides a vibrant, diverse and innovative enterprise application marketplace with a wide choice of solutions that will help customers consumerize their employees' service experiences, automate workflows across departments, integrate IT operations and more. ServiceNow certifies all apps and integrations on the store for performance, security and compatibility on the ServiceNow platform. The app developers determine the price of apps in the store. Customers can buy the apps with credit cards and will be charged in U.S. dollars.
