This is how Servicenow overcomes the dragons of the old IT world

On a global scale and in the Nordic region, American Servicenow, which is most easily described as a cloud service platform, is emerging.

Prior to launching the offensive, global and local personnel were deployed. As we wrote earlier, former Ebay CEO John Donahoe becomes the new CEO, and the Swedish Daniel Österbergh has taken over from EMC as the channel manager of the Emea region.

The person in charge of Sweden and the head of the Nordic Technical Department is Frederick Wennmark. He joined from VMware about the beginning of this year and is currently working on further developing the Swedish business. So far, the Swedish troops have been placed in the office hotel in Frösundavik, but they are very ambitious.

Because in today’s world, company investments are slowly but surely moving from infrastructure to services, so companies like Servicenow are certainly becoming more and more interesting.

-When you talk to customers, the cloud first becomes more and more obvious, not just the wind blowing. Frederick Wennmark (Frederick Wennmark) said that if you look at the field called enterprise service management, the large companies it targets become more obvious.

-The idea from the beginning was to build a platform that can handle all types of services internally. What we usually want is that we collect all the data in the same database. The company can obtain obvious synergies from it.

Servicenow belongs to a company that is often described as being born in the cloud. If you look at the companies of major competitors, they are from the old IT world like BIT, CA, and HPE.

-These are the people we compete with the most. They usually do the installation on site, but some of them are in progress. Frederick Wennmark said that BMC has a long history, but it is not so active when it comes to clouds. Of course, it is not too late to sing cloud hymns.

-When it comes to the security of your own data center, it is difficult to maintain the same level. The advantage of it being cloud-based is that it becomes available and we can see customer behavior. Many users have benefited a lot from it. It is an advantage for us to be able to tell customers what happened.

His current task is to build the Nordic part of the company. Since all business is conducted through partners, the new channel manager Daniel Österbergh certainly also plays a key role. As I said, the company has great ambitions, and currently has about 5,000 employees worldwide.

-As a company, we have a positive side, we see that partners want to cooperate with us. We try our best to ride it. Today, 47% of all business applications are cloud services. However, these 47% still have a lot to do, depending on your job. Frederick Winmark said that we expect that in four years our sales will be four times what it is today.
