Empower business users to build applications with Creator Studio

As businesses strive to keep up with the growing demand for new applications, IT teams often find themselves stretched thin. The pressure to deliver critical applications while managing support tasks becomes a significant challenge. However, we’ve heard from many of our customers that they need a solution that not only addresses these growing needs but also allows for efficient delegation of common app creation tasks to business users, all while maintaining control, security, and scalability.

Creator Studio is designed to help organizations meet this need by enabling non-developers, such as process owners and business users, to take charge of creating their own applications. This is achieved within a controlled and secure environment, providing IT teams with the necessary oversight while ensuring the efficiency and agility gained by empowering business users.

Maximizing the power of no-code development

Released on May 9th, 2024, Creator Studio provides a simple, no-code experience for creating request-based applications. Whether it’s building a request form, designing workflows, or automating tasks, Creator Studio offers a range of powerful tools to streamline the process.

• No-Code Request Form Creation: Build request apps effortlessly using pre-designed templates, without any coding. This allows business users to quickly address simple app creation needs.
• Visual Playbook Creation: Design and automate request workflows visually, ensuring smooth routing and approval processes. This intuitive interface enables users to automate tasks without technical expertise.
• Out-of-the-Box Fulfiller Workspace: With an out-of-the-box fulfiller workspace, teams can take immediate action on requests, improving response times and operational efficiency.
• Seamless Collaboration with Developers: Business users can co-create applications with developers to add more complex functionality. This collaboration ensures that the app meets both business requirements and technical standards.
• Preview Across Portal and Mobile: Test and preview applications across both the ServiceNow portal and mobile platforms. This ensures that the application provides a seamless user experience, regardless of the platform.
• Governance and Release: Creator Studio ensures that the development process remains secure and compliant. With tools like pipelines and Application Engine Management Console (AEMC), you can manage and govern applications just like any other App Engine app, reducing risk and ensuring faster time to production.

Accelerating time-to-value and streamlining development

The true potential of Creator Studio lies in its ability to dramatically reduce the time required for application development.

This acceleration in development time allows businesses to respond faster to changing demands and maintain a competitive edge. Admin teams can ensure that workflows are production-ready with compliance baked into the process, all without sacrificing security or control.
Creator Studio not only empowers business users but also alleviates the pressure on IT teams by streamlining development processes. IT teams retain control over governance and oversight while enabling business users to meet application demands independently.
