ServiceNow, a $150b market cap company, made this statement yesterday in their earnings call :
That’s pretty sensational for a company with 3 massive business lines & enough acronyms to fill a dictionary :
Like every major technology wave, AI runs the risk of overhype. But many large companies are beating predictions & raising their growth expectations because of AI. OpenAI & Microsoft each have multi-billion dollar ARR businesses. Mongo & Snowflake announced accelerations in their businesses as a result of AI. ServiceNow is the most recent. ServiceNow finds customers are willing to pay more for the software & the CEO Bill McDermott cites a few examples. Here’s one for the appliance repair software category :
McDermott also mentioned the benefits within their developers teams from AI code-generation. It’s unclear what developer innovation speed means (lines of code written? features shipped?) but even if it’s directionally accurate, the R&D cost savings for a business of ServiceNow’s scale should be significant. “ServiceNow’s developers have been using text to code for several months. They are generating high-quality code using text to describe the type of code they won. This has increased our developer innovation speed by 52%.” Improving customer demand drives greater revenue growth. Better engineering efficiency should improve the cost structure. With statements like these : “We are raising our subscription revenue’s outlook by $165 million at the midpoint to a range”… …software companies have a bright future. |
