Scaling Global Organizations in the Age of AI with ServiceNow CEO Bill McDermott

Bullish:

• $NOW - ServiceNow positioned as essential AI control tower for enterprises with 10x cost advantage over DIY language model solutions and accelerating implementation times.

  • “for a simple application on our platform, it would be 10 times greater in cost to try to replicate it with a language model”

  • “we have major customers, big ones, that are going live in less than 30 days”

  • “more than 85,000,000,000 workflows are in flight as we're having this podcast. And we got 7,000,000,000,000 transactions happening on that platform”

  • “90% of our customer service cases now are managed by agents”

  • “we integrated these businesses in twenty days. Twenty days”

Bearish:

• $SAAS - Single-function SaaS companies vulnerable to AI disruption, especially those serving one department with low value-add.

  • “if there was a risk, I believe it's more departmental companies. So if you think about companies that do something that span multiple departments or are a serious system of record that is very hard to replicate, they're safe, and they'll be a part of the future. If you're serving one function, and what you do is not tremendously high value add, and it might not even be a high up on the priority list of a CEO, I think that that would be the chance where the vulnerability equation really rises quickly”
