ServiceNow and SoftwareOne enter strategic partnership to accelerate IT modernization in the cloud by combining workflow automation and cloud optimization.
ServiceNow and SoftwareOne enter into a strategic partnership around IT modernization in the cloud. The partnership combines ServiceNow’s workflow automation with SoftwareOne’s licensing and cloud services.
Optimize IT investments
In the first phase of the partnership, the two companies are launching a joint offering. This combines ServiceNow’s automation capabilities with SoftwareOne’s cloud and software capabilities. The goal is to help customers manage their IT spending more efficiently and achieve a higher return on investment. This theoretically allows companies to better utilize their IT resources, control costs and focus more on innovation.
The partnership should give customers greater visibility into their IT landscape and help them manage rising software costs. SoftwareOne and ServiceNow also want to help build a data foundation for initiatives around AI, security and further modernization. In addition, with collaboration, the two parties focus on improving the user experience by streamlining and automating business processes.
Focus on cost control and growth
According to SoftwareOne, the partnership aligns with the growing need for companies to optimize their IT ecosystems. Organizations adopting a (not always necessary) cloud-first strategy need to modernize their applications to get maximum value from existing IT investments. ServiceNow and SoftwareOne aim to support that transition by driving cost savings and operational efficiencies.
ServiceNow says companies are under increasing pressure to reduce costs without compromising their growth strategies. The partnership with SoftwareOne should help bring such a balance to customers.
