Why ServiceNow Continues to Lead According to Gartner — A Strategic Advantage for 2026

In a year where the pace of digital transformation keeps accelerating, the strategic choice of technology platforms can make or break an organization’s success. That’s why rankings and evaluations from independent analysts like Gartner® matter — they give customer-centric insight into where real innovation and execution are happening in the market.

One of the most respected analyst benchmarks is the Gartner Magic Quadrant™, which evaluates platforms across Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. According to the latest research referenced in the report linked above, ServiceNow continues to be recognized as a Leader in multiple key categories such as IT Service Management and Enterprise Low-Code Application Platforms. This recognition reflects the breadth, maturity, and impact of the Now Platform in driving organizational transformation.
