ServiceNow partners have been buying each other worldwide. What's triggering the merger and acquisition (M&A) activity? The short answer involves some familiar themes: A fast-growth market coupled with a shortage of skilled experts.
Indeed, ServiceNow has emerged as a preferred IT service management (ITSM) platform for enterprise IT departments -- often disrupting BMC and other entrenched software rivals along the way. In the midmarket,
Fully Managed has customized ServiceNow for MSPs and customers. And in small business,
Splashtop has made some moves that may bolster the ITSM platform in that market segment.
