CHICAGO, IL — (Marketwired) — 10/03/13 — , the leading provider of technology-enabled services for the Service Management sector, welcomed top executives and developers to fruDevCon 2013, the first and only conference dedicated entirely to developing on the ServiceNow service automation platform, from Sept. 30 – Oct. 2, 2013.
With a record audience turnout, Fruition Partners demonstrated how companies could use the ServiceNow Service Automation Platform in entirely new ways to achieve service management success in the cloud. The conference featured more than eight breakout sessions and five cloud partners, with attendees participating in interactive sessions, hands-on training with leading technology, multiple live demos and significant networking.
To accommodate an increasingly complex IT environment, companies are turning to cloud-based solutions to automate enterprise IT operations and create a single system of record that lowers operational costs and increases efficiencies. ServiceNow has emerged as a leading platform for transforming IT by automating and standardizing business processes and consolidating IT across the global enterprise.
In its inaugural year, fruDevCon captured a diverse audience with IT executives making up 19 percent, administrators and managers comprising 21 percent and developers accounting for another 60 percent of attendees. Participants could choose from more than 30 labs tailored to their interest areas ranging from integrations to application development, user interface to partner solutions. Additionally, a specific track focused on IT executives was offered featuring a panel discussion and keynotes from Bobby Napiltonia, CRO of Twilio and Naraj Nagrani, VP of Products for SnapLogic.
“I learned more about extending the value of our ServiceNow investment at fruDevCon in four days than I would have in a full year on my own,” said Tami Martin, IT Solutions Automation Group Manager at Argonne National Laboratory. “I-m excited to come to fruDevCon 2014 and bring along some of my colleagues.”
