History

After serving as CTO for Peregrine Systems in San Diego, Fred Luddy started Glidesoft, Inc. in 2003.[1] Glidesoft specialized in IT service management applications based on ITIL standards.[2] In 2006, the company changed its name to ServiceNow.[3] In 2007, ServiceNow reported an annual revenue of $13 million[4] and began serving IT solutions to large companies such as TIAA-CREF, Intel, Staples,[5] Safeway,[6] University of San Francisco,[7] and AstraZeneca.[8]

In 2011, Frank Slootman replaced Luddy as CEO. Slootman was previously the CEO of Data Domain before it was purchased by EMC Corporation.[9][10]

In 2012, ServiceNow became a publicly traded company. ServiceNow was therefore the first technology company taken public by Morgan Stanley since Facebook.[11] Shortly after going public, ServiceNow relocated its headquarters from San Diego to Santa Clara.[12] ServiceNow currently holds additional office locations in San Diego, London, New York City, Kirkland, Washington, San Francisco, Frankfurt, Orlando, Toronto, Sao Paulo, Amsterdam, Paris, Singapore, Sydney and Hyderabad.
