Insight and Vision Executive Summary highlights

The 2021 report finds that digital transformation grew 20% year over year, becoming the top business initiative over service management. While many organizations were evolving towards transformation, the previous 14 months put the need for business digitization to a different level of strategic conversations – and one that, uniquely, cuts across all industries and company sizes as all have been impacted in a variety of ways.

Many enterprises were using digital to incrementally improve parts of their businesses before pandemic, but now we see these same traditional enterprises are forced to rethink their technology into a more widespread strategy and execution to serve the new needs of their operations, employees and customers.

• 60% of organizations have been working on their digital transformation initiatives for over a year but only 14% are “almost complete” with transformation
• 26% of organizations have started implementing AI and machine learning since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic

Amidst this growth, ServiceNow has now successfully positioned itself as a necessary tool for the world’s leading companies. This year’s survey results also reveal major platform growth amongst ServiceNow clients.
