Customer Views and Expectations for ServiceNow Upgrades

The report’s findings clearly show that business enterprisers are getting immense benefits by sticking to current upgrades of the cloud platform. You can understand the utility and usefulness of staying together with new upgrades through the following quotes and sayings from the customers interviewed by Forrester.

“Our absolute biggest driver to staying consistent with our upgrades was how we missed new capabilities because of how long it previously took for us to upgrade. By the time we deployed a release, the platform would have a new release with new capabilities.” – Christopher Whitesell, senior solutions engineer, Fairview Health

“We created a more ‘consumer like’ experience with the ServiceNow platform. Staying current with our upgrades has allowed us to resolve previously unresolved features. For example, we increased the performance of our chat features from 3 seconds to send/receive messages to 50 milliseconds.” – Platform manager, Automotive manufacturing

“We waited for a ServiceNow release and actually got our portal up three months early because it integrated right out of the box while saving us months on the development effort.” – Product owner, a global conglomerate

Business enterprises using the older version of cloud-based workflow automation platform ServiceNow can make the most out of staying with new versions with the help of ServiceNow experts. These experts offer ServiceNow implementation, migration, development, support, testing, advisory, consulting, and maintenance services.
