Earlier this week on CNBC, ServiceNow's CEO Bill McDermott mentioned potential lengthening of sales cycles in Europe in addition to potential FX and macro headwinds. In timely fashion, ETR hosted its Macro View webinar earlier today which covered anticipated IT budgets by region (EMEA, N. America, APAC) and industry vertical (Retail/Consumer, Financials/Insurance, etc.) as well as some 'high level' organizational trends including vendor consolidation.

"I'll just say ServiceNow is one of the other 800-pound gorillas. Everybody uses ServiceNow. ServiceNow can do any and everything under the sun at a price; it may not be the best at any and everything under the sun, but it's pretty good at everything that it does"
