Now Platform San Diego release stays true to our innovative roots



Fred’s original vision in 2004 was to “build a cloud-based platform that would enable regular people to route work effectively through the enterprise.” Remember, this was when most people thought clouds only referred to the fluffy stuff floating in the air. Today, ServiceNow is launching its latest Now Platform release, proudly named after our birthplace, San Diego. I couldn’t think of a better name. Read more here.
