ServiceNow
ServiceNow offers a portfolio of robust cloud-based products that automate and manage IT service relationships across the enterprise. Our products have the advantage of being built on a single cloud platform that consists of one user interface, one code base and one data model, delivering easy, automated upgrades. ServiceNow provides an intuitive and approachable user experience complete with expert services to accelerate time-to-value.

If there was ever a contest for finding the most efficient way to untangle the overcomplicated spaghetti of organizational workflows, BMC Helix and ServiceNow would likely both show up, argue a bit about whose approach is best and then leave together for a long lunch, pleased with the knowledge that neither is the Vogon bureaucracy.

BMC Helix is the sort of thing that, if it could talk, would smugly declare that it could automate most of your IT service issues before you've even worked out how to spell "service desk." It's an AI-driven wizard that takes your existing tangled mess of IT solutions and, with a flourish, integrates them into something almost resembling efficiency. It’s tailored for those sprawling enterprises that appear to be vast, chaotic systems held together by hope and duct tape—yet it handles them with a scalable grace, offering customization options that would make a restaurant menu jealous.

ServiceNow, on the other hand, would prefer you think of it as the ultimate one-stop shop for all things ESM—enterprise service management, to you mere mortals. It’s a bit like a futuristic city planner, handing out user-friendly tools and workflow automations like candy to anyone who dares approach. It has a unified suite that manages everything from IT operations to IT business functions and it does it all with an interface that’s so intuitive you’d swear it had been taught by dolphins—creatures known, of course, for their remarkable intelligence and distinct lack of patience for inefficiency.
