Solution

ServiceNow helps thousands of enterprises streamline digital workflows across IT, employee and customer experiences. But behind their GTM engine was a maze of disconnected systems, slowing the decision-making of their 2,000+ sellers, impacting sales processes and stalling growth. By adopting the Databricks Data + AI Platform, they unified data and deployed AI models in real time.
