The new finance and supply chain workflows include:
- Accounts Payable Operations (APO), which will automate the accounts payable process. APO eliminates the need to manually enter data or reconcile invoices against purchase orders and goods delivered. ServiceNow said there will also be a single view that incorporates ESG, legal and compliance.
- Clean Core ERP with App Engine, which uses ServiceNow's low-code tools to identify legacy ERP technical debt that can be removed, replaced or automated. This move has two objectives including making ERP migrations more efficient and highlighting ServiceNow as an automation platform that rides on top of ERP systems.
"Finance and supply chain are key processes ripe for automation," said Constellation Research CEO Ray Wang. "These processes are often highly defined and regulated, which make them great candidates for automation in this exponential year of efficiency."
Not surprisingly, ServiceNow outlined its generative AI case. The company outlined its Generative AI Controller and Now Assist Search that will bring generative AI to enterprise applications.
