“Making our work lives as mobile friendly as our real lives is the next
wave of innovation at work. Increasingly employees expect and want more
consumer-like experiences at work,” said Boaz Hecht, Senior Director of
Platform Product Management at ServiceNow. “With Appsee, ServiceNow will
be able to optimize its own mobile apps and desktop web experiences to
bring consumer grade mobile experiences to our customers. Over time,
customers using the Now Platform will be able to better analyze how
their end users are using the Now Platform to make their work simpler
and easier.”
Appsee will provide ServiceNow, and ServiceNow customers, with insights
into user behavior when interacting with the Now Platform. With this
added level of analytics, ServiceNow plans to provide more intuitive
user experiences and further improve digital workflows to reduce routine
work and free workers up to do more strategic work.
“ServiceNow is serving almost 75% of the Fortune 500 and there is an
enormous opportunity for Appsee to help ServiceNow customers create
mobile capabilities at enterprise scale that simplify how people work,”
said Zahi Boussiba, CEO and Co-Founder of Appsee. “By joining the
ServiceNow team, we’re excited to help bring our expertise to companies
that are digitally transforming their businesses.”
Appsee was founded in 2012 by CEO and Co-Founder Zahi Boussiba and CTO
and Co-Founder Yoni Douek. Upon the close of the transaction, Appsee’s
intellectual property, its co-founders, and R&D employees will join
ServiceNow and help advance ServiceNow’s mobile platform strategy. With
the addition of Appsee, ServiceNow will extend its footprint in Israel
by establishing a presence in central Tel-Aviv.
ServiceNow expects to complete the acquisition by the end of Q2 2019.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
