ServiceNow acquires Logik.ai - expanding its CRM footprint and AI capabilities
ServiceNow continues its latest spending spree with an announcement that it is acquiring Logik.ai, an AI-powered Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) solution provider, which pushes the vendor further into the CRM market. This acquisition comes just weeks after ServiceNow's hefty $2.85 billion Moveworks deal and its AI-enabled Yokohama platform release, pointing to the vendor's aggressive pursuit of being at the center of AI enterprise work. While financial terms weren't disclosed, the acquisition bolsters ServiceNow's CRM & Industry Workflows business - which the company touts as its fastest-growing unit. ServiceNow's Logik.ai grab marks another step in the company's evolution from IT service management platform to a player that touches almost all points of work across the enterprise - including the lucrative CRM space. The acquisition gives ServiceNow capabilities in the Configure, Price, Quote process - a critical piece of the sales puzzle that bridges opportunity management and order fulfillment. John Ball, EVP and GM of CRM & Industry Workflows at ServiceNow, said: ServiceNow is advancing our commitment to offer robust, deeply connected CRM tools. The CPQ space is evolving, and Logik.ai is leading the way to a simpler, AI-powered selling experience across channels. The deal fits nicely with ServiceNow's broader CRM push, which was recently expanded as part of the company's Yokohama platform release. That update introduced features such as self-service commerce portals, turnkey Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) integrations, and AI agents designed specifically for CRM use cases. Ball took a swipe at other CRM vendors in the market by emphasizing a "fundamentally different vision and approach to traditional CRM and CPQ offerings -- one that addresses the real pain points in connecting end-to-end customer experiences." Whilst ServiceNow has for a long time said that it has no intention of replacing existing systems of record and SaaS platforms in the enterprise, what's become clear in recent years is that it believes it can be a more efficient platform for buyers to carry out the work, utilizing data from these systems of record. Very few guesses as to which other CRM players in the enterprise market will be playing close attention to this... ServiceNow said that Logik.ai's CPQ capabilities are built around a 'modern, AI-powered approach' that uses an advanced rules engine to speed up the transaction cycle while delivering what it calls a "consumer-grade experience" for both sellers and buyers. Complimenting the company's new owners, Logik.ai's CEO Christopher Shutts said: We invested early in innovations like AI and consumer-grade experiences that are re-writing how products of any complexity are sold. ServiceNow CRM is built for the era of AI, making it the perfect partner to continue that momentum. Logik.ai already integrates with nearly 50 technology partners, including ServiceNow. This should - in theory at least - make it easier to plug into ServiceNow's Customer Service Management and Sales and Order Management solutions without too many integration headaches, which is particularly important given ServiceNow's commitment to its 'one data model' approach, which has enabled it to expand successfully across enterprise buyers' estates. As noted above, unlike competitors that have grown by buying up different technologies and then struggling to make them work together, ServiceNow has built an engagement layer that spans departmental silos. This foundation - built on its Common Service Data Model (CSDM) and Configuration Management Database (CMDB) - lets ServiceNow function as the connective tissue between various enterprise systems. This approach has been especially valuable as companies struggle with a challenging sprawl of disconnected cloud-based SaaS applications. ServiceNow's platform essentially stitches these isolated systems together, creating workflows that cross departmental boundaries without ripping and replacing existing investments. McDermott hammered this point home during ServiceNow's Q4 2024 earnings call: We have a key differentiator at the architectural level. We don't have to try to translate between our AI models and some third-party system. Other software vendors need to communicate across multiple systems and stitch them together to make their software work, resulting in poor customer experiences saddled with technical debt. This architectural commitment gives ServiceNow a potential leg up as the orchestrator of enterprise AI agents. We saw this with the Yokohama platform release, which introduced preconfigured AI agents across business functions with an AI Agent Orchestrator that ServiceNow describes as a "master brain" for coordinating these agents. This orchestration only works because of ServiceNow's unified data model, which gives AI agents the context they need across organizational boundaries. ServiceNow's SVP and Global Head of AI Go-To-Market, Michael Park, described this orchestrator as "a control tower" that analyzes tasks, creates execution plans, and deploys appropriate AI agents to complete them. The addition of Logik.ai's CPQ capabilities within this framework could potentially enable even more sophisticated automation of the sales process, with AI agents handling complex product configurations and pricing scenarios. Equally, ServiceNow's recent $2.85 billion Moveworks acquisition gives us the clearest picture of this strategy. That deal, as highlighted by diginomica, aims to address a fundamental gap in enterprise AI: the disconnect between finding information and actually doing something with it. As ServiceNow's President and COO Amit Zavery told us: [Moveworks] can provide the front-end, but they can't finish the full intent of the user and complete the task. Essentially, Moveworks gives ServiceNow the employee engagement piece - the front door through which workers interact with enterprise systems. Logik.ai complements this by bringing specialized AI capabilities for complex sales processes. Its CPQ functionality gives AI agents the domain expertise needed to navigate complex product configuration and pricing decisions. When these agents work alongside other agents, through ServiceNow's AI Agent Orchestrator, we could potentially see ServiceNow aiming for the autonomous handling of the entire commercial lifecycle - from initial inquiry through configuration, pricing, ordering, fulfillment, and service. It's hard not to notice that ServiceNow's recent shopping spree represents a significant shift from its traditional reliance on organic growth and smaller, bolt-on acquisitions. The company has long preached the gospel of its "one data model, one platform" approach, in contrast to competitors who rely heavily on acquisitions for growth. The $2.85 billion Moveworks deal was one of ServiceNow's biggest acquisitions ever, and while we don't know what they paid for Logik.ai, the strategic importance suggests the price wasn't small change. The big question is whether ServiceNow can swallow these companies without messing too much with the architectural purity that's been its calling card (we will be asking ServiceNow about this at its upcoming Knowledge event in Las Vegas) - although it's worth noting that ServiceNow has been known to acquire companies for its talent too, which may well also be key here. However, this collection of AI capabilities across different business functions signals ServiceNow's ambition to become the central coordinator for enterprise AI agents. As companies deploy more specialized AI across departments, someone needs to make them all work together. ServiceNow's unified data model - if this can be maintained - gives it a head start in solving this problem, potentially establishing it as the essential control plane for agentic AI across the enterprise. ServiceNow's continued move into CRM through Logik.ai will likely be seen as a swipe against established CRM players like Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, and Oracle - but there's a bigger game being played here. Rather than going toe-to-toe on CRM features, ServiceNow is using this architectural advantage to solve the integration headaches that have historically plagued enterprise software. By targeting CPQ - which sits at the intersection of sales, product management, manufacturing, and finance - ServiceNow is going after exactly the kind of cross-functional process where its unified data model is critical. To reiterate what McDermott said last year, it's a game of chess, not checkers.

ServiceNow Acquires Logik.ai to Bolster CRM Offerings | PYMNTS.com
ServiceNow, a company that provides artificial intelligence (AI) agents for businesses, is set to acquire Logik.ai. The deal, announced Thursday (April 3), is designed to accelerate ServiceNow's momentum in sales and order management with the help of Logik.ai's configure, price, quote (CPQ) solution. Logik.ai's best-in-class capabilities for sales and commerce will expand ServiceNow's growth. "Companies in every industry struggle with ineffective sales processes due to complex product configurations, pricing inconsistencies, and error-prone manual quoting," the companies said in a news release. "Sales teams waste valuable time navigating spreadsheets, outdated pricing models, and disconnected approval workflows, leading to delayed deals, lost revenue opportunities, and frustrated customers," they added. "This is especially evident in industries such as manufacturing, high tech, and medical device sales, where the complexities of products and services demand extreme precision and agility." According to the release, Logik.ai integrates AI into its CPQ solution to speed transaction management through an advanced rules engine "that solves for speed, simplicity, and scale." The acquisition will combine these capabilities with ServiceNow's CRM (customer relationship management) and industry workflows, its fastest-growing business. In related news, PYMNTS wrote earlier this week about the rise of agentic AI, which "has become more than a buzzword in a very short period of time." Among the reasons for its progress is its real potential to transform how financial institutions provide services and interact with their customers. Rather than simply performing pattern recognition or automation tasks in isolation, agentic AI can perceive, reason, take action and most importantly, demonstrate self-learning. "In an industry typically known for incremental change, the accelerating traction of agentic AI may represent one of the most disruptive and impactful developments in financial services," that report said. That's the mindset of Amir Wain -- chief executive at i2c -- who recently spoke withPYMNTS CEO Karen Webster about some of the critical infrastructure elements necessary for a successful agentic AI strategy. While many institutions have embraced AI at the margins, Wain said most have only scratched the surface of what agentic AI can accomplish, due in part to the fact that many banks still rely on legacy systems that make data tough to access in real time. He also stressed that agentic AI requires vast amounts of contextual information. "If I still want to interact the same way that I did, then I'm really not maximizing the capabilities of agentic AI," he said.
