“The need to rely on multiple software platforms can result in a degraded view of the overall technology and services environment, and is hindering digital business transformation at some companies”
The 2022 ISG Provider Lens™ ServiceNow Ecosystem Partners report for the U.S. finds companies face several challenges managing a growing number of applications and business requirements. They include the complexity of integrating separate applications for each function, rising security concerns with remote work and the need to manage performance and service levels. The cost of technology operations, including support, maintenance and licenses, is also a growing burden, the report says.
“The need to rely on multiple software platforms can result in a degraded view of the overall technology and services environment, and is hindering digital business transformation at some companies,” said Bill Huber, ISG partner, Digital Platforms and Solutions. “A unified approach can help them move forward.”
There is a growing appetite among U.S. enterprises for solutions to transform business processes, especially in transaction-driven industries such as insurance, retail, health care and banking and finance, ISG says. Companies are transforming their workflows to simplify activities, inputs and outputs.
