What is it about?
This branch of software development is about extending the capabilities of an existing platform (such as ServiceNow or Salesforce) with custom development, including integrating the platform with existing business processes and building integration with existing systems.
Why is it challenging?
You need to have knowledge of a complex system and keep in touch with customers. Of course, soft skills are important for all software developers, but in this specialization, it is extremely important that you communicate properly with the other parties involved in the project.
When is it the right choice?
If you are interested in corporate business processes, e.g. IT, HR, finance, logistics, etc., not only in the “raw” code, and it’s important for you to see and understand the business processes as well.
Example
The HR process of a larger company consists of many steps, recruitment, selection, training, etc., and this is often handled in Excel sheets. There is a great need to replace this, and a ServiceNow Developer typically works on such projects where the platform’s capabilities need to be individually expanded and integrated into the company’s existing systems.

This has been the most dynamically developing area in recent years, with all industry forecasts showing that this direction will determine software development in the next period.
