2022. Atlassian acquires Percept.AI
Atlassian has acquired Percept.AI, an AI company that offers an automated virtual agent support solution — a chatbot, basically — based on a proprietary AI engine for natural language understanding.

2021. Electric, the IT platform for SMBs, raises $90M
Electric, the maker of IT infrastructure software for SMBs, has raised $90 million Series D financing round. What Electric does for IT infrastructure is similar to what Justworks does for HR. Instead of an SMB hiring out a person or a department to handle the basics of IT, 90% of which is maintenance and compliance, Electric software handles distribution, maintenance and security for an organization. Before Electric, there were two options for SMBs: build out your own IT department, or use a local IT provider. Electric came on the scene and allowed an admin within the company to make sure all devices were up to date, secure and compliant, as well as issue new equipment and revoke permissions.
2021. ServiceNow leaps into applications performance monitoring with Lightstep acquisition
ServiceNow has acquired Lightstep, an applications performance monitoring startup. ServiceNow wants to take advantage of Lightstep’s capabilities to enhance its IT operations offerings. With Lightstep, the company should be able to provide customers with a way to monitor the performance of applications with the goal of detecting problems before they grow into major issues that take down a website or application. Lightstep is part of the application performance monitoring market with companies like Datadog, New Relic and AppDynamics, which Cisco acquired in 2017
2021. ServiceNow adds new no-code capabilities
ServiceNow, says that distributed work has advanced the idea of putting software building into the hands of every employee. So, the company has decided to develop a new area called Creator Workflows, which are designed to help workers build new workflows suited to their needs. It provides the main development environment where users can drag and drop the components they need to build workflows that make sense for them. The templates take that ease of use a step further by providing a framework for some common tasks.
2021. Electric raises $40M to put small-business IT in the cloud
Electric, a company looking to put IT departments in the cloud, has raised $40 million Series C round. Electric launched in 2016 with a mission to make IT much simpler for small and medium-sized businesses. Rather than bringing on a dedicated IT department, or contracting out high-priced local service providers, Electric’s software allows one admin to manage devices, software subscriptions, permissions and more. The vast majority of IT’s work is administration, distribution and maintenance of the broad variety of software programs at any given company. Electric does most of that job on behalf of IT, meaning that a smaller business only needs to worry about desk-side troubleshooting when it comes up, rather than the whole kit and caboodle.
2020. ServiceNow is acquiring Element AI, startup building AI services for enterprises
ServiceNow, the cloud-based IT services company, is making a significant acquisition today to fill out its longer-term strategy to be a big player in the worlds of automation and artificial intelligence for enterprises. It is acquiring Element AI, a startup building AI-based IT services for enterprises. The deal is the latest move for a company aiming to build a modern platform fit for our times. ServiceNow has been around since 2004, so it’s not strictly a legacy business, but all the same, it is vying to position itself as the go-to company for “digital transformation” — the buzz term for enterprise IT services this year, as everyone scrambles to do more online, in the cloud and remotely to continue operating through a global health pandemic and whatever comes in its wake.
2020. Blissfully expands from SaaS management into wider IT services aimed at midmarket
When Blissfully launched in 2016, it was focused on helping companies understand their SaaS usage inside their organizations, but over time the company has seen that there is a wider need, especially in midmarket companies, and today it announced it was expanding into broader IT management. That has resulted in a newly expanded platform they are releasing today that not only includes the earlier SaaS management components that it’s been providing all along, but also four other new categories. For starters they are offering IT asset management. Next, they are including help desk management and ticketing capabilities to handle requests that fall outside of their SaaS management workflows. In addition, they are adding role-based access control to allow different people access to various IT management services, which is increasingly essential during the pandemic as people are being forced to troubleshoot and manage various IT issues from home.
2020. ServiceNow updates its workflow automation platform
ServiceNow today announced the latest release of its workflow automation platform. With this, the company is emphasizing a number of new solutions for specific verticals, including for telcos and financial services organizations. This focus on verticals extends the company’s previous efforts to branch out beyond the core IT management capabilities that defined its business during its early years. The company is also adding new features for making companies more resilient in the face of crises, as well as new machine learning-based tools.
2020. ServiceNow to acquire configuration management startup Sweagle
ServiceNow, which includes in its product catalog an IT Help Desk component, has acquired Sweagle, a configuration management startup based in Belgium. ServiceNow claims that there can be as many as 50,000 different configuration elements in a single enterprise application. Sweagle has designed a configuration data management platform with machine learning underpinnings to help customers simplify and automate that complexity. Configuration errors can cause shutdowns, security issues and other serious problems for companies.
2020. ServiceNow acquires AI-based IT monitoring startup Loom Systems
ServiceNow has acquired Loom Systems, an Israeli startup that specializes in AIOps. The companies did not reveal the purchase price. ServiceNow is first and foremost a company trying to digitize the service process, however that manifests itself. IT service operations is a big part of that. Companies can monitor their systems, wait until a problem happens and then try to track down the cause and fix it — or, they can use the power of artificial intelligence to find potential dangers to the system health and neutralize them before they become major problems. That’s what an AIOps product like Loom’s can bring to the table. By joining forces, the companies want to bring together AI innovations and ServiceNow’s AIOps capabilities to help customers prevent and fix IT issues before they become problems.
2019. ServiceNow teams with Workplace by Facebook on service chatbot
Workplace, Facebook’s enterprise collaboration and communication application, and ServiceNow announced a new chatbot to make it easier for employees to navigate a company’s help desks inside Workplace Chat. The integration can involve IT or HR help desk scenarios. A chatbot can help companies save time and money, and employees can get answers to common problems much faster. Previously, getting these kind of answers would have required navigating multiple systems, making a phone call or submitting a ticket to the appropriate help desk. This approach provides a level of convenience and immediacy.
2017. Helpdesk provider ServiceNow bought a design firm
ServiceNow bought design firm Telepathy because it knows that offering enterprise-class functionality isn’t enough anymore to win over alternatives. Your applications have to look good too. Companies can’t just deliver good functionality. They have to deliver it in a way that appeals to both IT from an administrative perspective and end users from a pure design and ease of use perspective. ServiceNow has purchased seven companies since 2013 prior to today’s announcement.
2015. Enterprise cloud infrastructure service Iron.io raises $8M
Iron.io, the developer of IronMQ message queue service and the IronWorker worker platform for running parallel tasks at scale, today announced that it has raised a $8 million Series A. At its core, Iron.io services are meant to make it easier for developers to adopt a microservices architecture — that is breaking down traditionally complex applications into smaller, more manageable independent parts that talk to each other over APIs. The service is pretty much agnostic as to where these applications run and can hence be used no matter whether a service runs on premises, in a public or private cloud, or in a hybrid cloud environment. Iron.io says the new funding will go to growing the company’s teams in engineering, sales, marketing and customer support (that’s all of the company, basically).
2015. SaaS ITSM service Samanage raises $16M
Samanage, the SaaS platform that lets customers manage any type of internal assets, announced $16 million in Series B investment today. The company’s roots are in IT asset management, but company founder and CEO Doron Gordon points out that the same technology could be used to manage any assets within an organization, whether it’s related to IT or not. He says that once they organize IT assets, the company can expand to HR, finance or facilities and operations. This put them in competition with Zendesk, Freshdesk and Salesforce.com.
2014. ServiceNow adds more Enterprise features
ServiceNow, the cloud IT service management provider, launched a suite of new products and features devoted to large companies. The new features include enhanced custom application creation experience, new service automation products, executive decision-making visualization tools and a more intuitive user experience. In particular, the new product Facilities Services Automation displays incidents at company facilities on floor-plan visualizations, and allows facilities managers to track building configurations to tackle issues from security to waste disposal. Service Creator, another new feature, allows nontechnical people to build simple applications. Another visualization project, CIO Roadmap, offers timeline visualization features displaying prioritized investment decisions across business functions. The new capabilities are built on the ServiceNow platform and leverage the common data model shared across the company’s portfolio.
