Diginomica’s exclusive interview – Pass the CEO baton at ServiceNow

ServiceNow has a new president, John Donahoe. Diginomica got the opportunity to speak with the incoming Mr. Donahoe as well as the outgoing president, Frank Slootman about the change in leadership, direction, and what it holds for the future of ServiceNow. Donahoe seems to focus on the consumer experience, “Software is going to be consumed at the very top level of the stack, meaning that people are only interested in: what does this look like? What does this feel like? What is the experience? The entire stack below that, they’re going to be increasingly disinterested.”

Calling all developers!

CreatorCon during Knowledge17 is filled with possibilities. Take part in hands-on workshops, IoT Hackzone, Hands-on HackLabs, and developer talks at the Developer Hub.
