Apty, in close collaboration with XenTegra and ServiceNow, pioneered this unique golf tournament, creating a platform where leisure met purpose.
Each swing and putt was executed with expertise, mirroring the precision required in today’s tech landscape. Attendees weren’t merely competing on the golf course; they engaged in deep dialogues, discussing business challenges and exploring solutions. Breakout sessions punctuated the day, transforming clubhouses into hubs of innovation where real-world case studies were dissected and the power of digital adoption platforms (DAPs) was brought to the forefront.
It wasn’t just a day of golf; it was a manifesto on the future of digital adoption. With every drive down the fairway, we paralleled discussions on how digital adoption platforms are pivotal in unlocking latent software potential and providing IT executives with strategies and insights.
Software Investment: Maximizing ROI and P&L
It’s a scenario that’s all too familiar. Companies invest significantly in cutting-edge software, only to find that their teams must utilize these tools to their fullest capacity.

ServiceNow, an industry-leading ITSM platform, is no exception. When wielded correctly, it can elevate tier 1 IT support straight to tier 2, bypassing potential bottlenecks and reducing overhead costs. Yet, with proper adoption, its capabilities may be explored.
