At launch, more than 70 Built on Now native app solutions are available. Highlights include:

Now Value methodology

Now Value methodology is a customer success system that pulls learnings from ServiceNow implementations to equip partners with the tools, best practices, and frameworks needed to enable business value for customers. Harnessing expertise across enterprise functions, industries, and the ServiceNow partner ecosystem, Now Value accelerates the creation of exceptional business outcomes across a customer’s digital transformation journey.

Enabling Now Value, ServiceNow announced this week Now Create, a new application providing customers and partners with step-by-step guidance to create exceptional business outcomes with the Now Platform. Now Create delivers an intuitive user experience with a prescriptive methodology, leading practices, and accelerators to help customers and partners deliver implementations and upgrades faster and with less risk.

ServiceNow is extending the enrolment deadline for its next generation Service Provider programme to September 30, 2020 to support current and prospective partners as companies navigate these unprecedented times. The transformed programme benefits will be made available this summer to provide additional programme enhancements, a world-class segmentation and coverage model, as well as new commercial term constructs that will help accelerate growth opportunities for Service Providers.

“The way people work is changing and the way that companies engage customers is driving a new era of employee and customer experiences,” said David M Parsons, ServiceNow Senior Vice President of Global Alliances and Channel. “Now more than ever, ServiceNow’s industry and workflow capabilities paired with partners’ industry experience can help customers of all sizes and across all industries make work, work better for people.”
