SANTA CLARA, Calif. (October 11, 2018) –
ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) today
announced an alliance with Microsoft to deliver ServiceNow digital
workflows through the Azure Government Cloud. This combined cloud
offering is designed to help the government accelerate its digital
transformation and modernization of information technology. Microsoft
announced this alliance today at its Government Leaders Cloud Forum in
Washington, D.C.
The ServiceNow and Microsoft alliance will enable U.S. Federal
customers to deploy ServiceNow’s technology via the Microsoft Azure
Marketplace. This combined cloud offering is expected to bring
together ServiceNow’s industry‑leading IT services and operations
management products as well as extensive platform capabilities
together with the security and protection and highest level of
compliance on the market offered by Microsoft’s Azure Government
regions including support for Defense Information Systems Agency
(DISA) Impact Level (IL) 5 and FedRAMP High. ServiceNow was recently
recognized as Forbes’ #1 World’s Most Innovative Company.
“Federal agencies are increasingly focused on modernizing their
digital infrastructure, but a long review process and a higher
regulatory standard to approve cloud offerings for U.S. Federal use
can greatly hinder the government’s ability to deploy innovative cloud
solutions,” said Brian Marvin, Vice President of Federal Sales,
ServiceNow. “With this offering, U.S. Federal customers are expected
to have greater access to ServiceNow’s best‑in‑class digital workflows
on Azure Government regions including support for (IL) 5.”
“The Microsoft Azure Marketplace gives federal customers the added
capabilities they need to quickly acquire and deploy cost‑effective
solutions that are configured to run on the Azure Government
platform,” said Tom Keane, Corporate Vice President, Azure Global,
Microsoft. “The integration of ServiceNow digital workflows into the
Azure Marketplace further expands our offerings that help the federal
government achieve its IT objectives.”
