sap (WKN: 716460) The report stated that the second quarter contaminated by corona is progressing very smoothly. Despite the “very difficult environment”, it is still possible to improve the results. Therefore, it is not surprising that stock prices continue to rise.
but, Current service (NASDAQ: CCN: A1JX4P), now run by former SAP boss Bill McDermott. Both IT departments want to adapt customers from the cloud. There are enough reasons to compare with SAP share.
SAP and ServiceNow business overlap
The worlds of SAP and ServiceNow are basically separate. This Walldorf-based company is mainly responsible for inventory management and resource planning, while ServiceNow helps optimize operational service processes.
Both companies are trying to achieve mutual integration, which also proves this. For example, in 2019, a solution was proposed that facilitated the interaction between SAP SuccessFactors and ServiceNow’s NOW platform.
ServiceNow’s NOW platform can help companies run smoothly and efficiently from IT and development departments to human resources and customer service to employee applications. Therefore, even if the company is in a liquidity crisis, it may need to use mission-critical software.
In fact, many customers can extend the use of their digital tools to help applications working in remote areas, so in the long run, this pandemic may benefit ServiceNow.
SAP is also actively using remote services to satisfy customers during the pandemic. The “Basic Business Services” package is designed to ensure business continuity, whether it involves customer service, supply chain, management or other necessary business processes.
Overall, it can be observed that the two are approaching each other: by configuring from the cloud, both ServiceNow and SAP hope to play a decisive role in accelerating the digital transformation of their customers.
Number of SAP and ServiceNow
There is no doubt that we have two huge success stories. In nearly fifty years, SAP has developed into one of the world’s leading business software companies. With HANA and other outstanding technologies and the far-reaching corporate restructuring carried out by Bill McDermott, the future is bright.
The development of ServiceNow, which was founded as Glidesoft only in 2003, is even more impressive. With its niche software a few years ago, the company has developed into a powerful company with a worldwide reputation in just a few years, and is currently seeking the next leap forward under McDermott’s leadership.
