ServiceNow Dev Meetup in Toronto
The ServiceNow platform
ServiceNow's platform originally focused on ITSM (IT service management), but has since expanded into areas such as human resources, customer service and security operations, providing companies with a unified solution to optimize workflows and increase efficiency. The ability to adapt and scale to different business functions, combined with a strong focus on automation, makes it an attractive choice for companies looking to increase productivity and simplify their operations.
The recently released Xanadu version offers enhanced AI and machine learning capabilities that enable organizations to automate tasks and make faster, data-driven decisions. In addition, ServiceNow offers flexible licensing and subscription models that allow companies to customize their usage as needed, further increasing its appeal.
Highlights from the ServiceNow Dev Meetup in Toronto
The ServiceNow community hosted a Dev Meetup in Toronto on September 11. Organized by Philippe Nguyen of Pentio Inc, the event brought together a mix of ServiceNow veterans and newcomers to discuss the latest developments and share insights.
A key feature of the event was a presentation by Saaniya Chugh from BDO Canada, who also hosted a ServiceNow Jeopardy game. Ken Tang also gave a presentation at the Meetup, in which he shared his personal journey from a simple IT employee to achieving the coveted ServiceNow Certified Master Architect (CMA) certification, one of the highest qualifications in the ServiceNow ecosystem.
A special part of the event was dedicated to honoring Chuck Tomasi, a ServiceNow veteran who recently retired. Chuck was celebrated for his immense contribution to the ServiceNow community and for inspiring hundreds of young professionals. His work over the years has left a lasting legacy, and attendees took time to thank him for his dedication and mentorship.
The event was co-hosted by Eric Ng from Pentio Inc. and Viorica Bolohan from Software One, who led exciting discussions on the latest trends in ServiceNow. The mix of seasoned experts and new faces fostered a collaborative environment where attendees shared knowledge, networked and participated in stimulating conversations.
Outlook
Following the success of the September 11th Meetup, the next Toronto ServiceNow Dev Meetup is scheduled for November 12th. With a growing community of professionals looking to expand their knowledge and realize the full potential of ServiceNow, the future looks bright for both the platform and its users.
