Description: NOW ServiceNow
ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE: NOW) delivers a cloud-based “Now” platform that enables digital workflow automation across a broad set of enterprise functions, including IT service management, security operations, HR, legal, and field service, as well as low-code/no-code development tools, AI-driven analytics, and robotic process automation.
The platform is sold globally-covering North America, EMEA, APAC, and other regions-and is positioned for a diverse client base that spans government, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, technology, telecom, and other verticals, typically accessed through service-provider and reseller channels.
According to the company’s FY 2024 earnings release, ServiceNow generated $8.1 billion in revenue, up roughly 18 % year-over-year, with a net dollar retention rate of 124 % and annual recurring revenue (ARR) surpassing $13 billion. These metrics suggest strong upsell potential and a growing subscription base, but they are contingent on continued enterprise spending on digital transformation-a macro variable that can be volatile in a tightening credit environment.
Key sector drivers include the accelerating adoption of AI and automation in enterprise IT stacks, the expanding low-code/no-code market (projected to exceed $45 billion by 2027), and the broader shift toward cloud-first strategies that benefit platform-as-a-service providers. Conversely, ServiceNow’s valuation is sensitive to competitive pressure from peers such as Salesforce, Microsoft, and emerging niche workflow vendors, which could compress margins if price competition intensifies.
