ServiceNow acquires Era Software
ServiceNow is acquiring Era Software, which serves as an ElasticSearch alternative for observability, log management and cybersecurity use cases based in Seattle, Washington.
Era Software raised $15.25 million in 2021, led by Playground Global, and had raised about $22 million in total since inception with just 47 employees.
ServiceNow will align Era Software with the Lightstep acquisition of 2021. The Lightstep deal had some implications for unified IT service management (ITSM) and application monitoring.
“Digital transformation succeeds or fails based on unified observability. Together, ServiceNow and Era Software are set up to deliver a unified and seamless observability experience within one solution, designed to scale,” Ben Sigelman, general manager of ServiceNow’s Lightstep business unit said.
Furthermore, the combined Era-Lightstep solutions will accelerate ServiceNow’s path toward unified telemetry.
