solutions from the cloud.
Clients can access ServiceNow‘s entire

Kevin James, UK Managing Director of

ServiceNow’s innovative IT service management

Lewis Gee, Senior Director, Regional Partners
EMEA, ServiceNow said: “Computacenter is one
of the leading providers of user helpdesk services,
something shown by the development of the
