CoreSite will use Service Now to automate business processes involved in the customer life cycle from quote-to-cash and throughout the ongoing support phase of its customer relationships.

ServiceNow provides customers like CoreSite the ability to use a single workflow system to integrate numerous disparate systems involved in the customer life cycle, including CRM, inventory management, and accounting/billing systems. By standardizing on the ServiceNow platform, CoreSite expects to drive workflow speed, enhance data integrity, and streamline processes that currently involve multiple individual applications with a number of manual interventions.
