ServiceNow Unveils Google Pact on Path to $10 Billion Sales Goal

ServiceNow, a maker of cloud-based software, unveiled a partnership with Google Cloud and introduced new finance automation software in a bid to reach $10 billion in annual sales, according to Bloomberg.

The company said it would integrate with Google Cloud so that mutual clients can better manage their information technology systems and benefit from Google’s artificial intelligence tools through ServiceNow’s software. The business apps maker also announced finance workflow software that will organize tasks that companies must complete as part of their quarterly earnings reports.

In the crowded landscape of cloud-computing companies, ServiceNow has long promised to organize tedious parts of office life, like setting up a help desk for IT operations and bringing on board new employees. The company has expanded into new markets, such as human resources, to maintain an annual sales growth rate of at least 35 percent, which it has achieved since going public in 2012. ServiceNow generated $2.6 billion in revenue in 2018.

The software maker also announced an agreement with Deloitte Consulting to jointly develop and market new products based on ServiceNow’s platform. The consulting firm will also play a key role in helping ServiceNow sell its financial automation software to clients. The Deloitte pact was announced alongside a reorganization of ServiceNow’s partner programs meant to encourage more companies to build on the company’s platform and sell its software.

The company also unveiled a Now Mobile app that clients can customize without having to write code. Businesses will let their employees use the app to request a new work computer, open a ticket with HR or request help. They can also give Apple’s Siri or Google Assistant voice commands to complete work tasks with ServiceNow software. Another app, called Mobile Onboarding, will help new employees get set up with corporate IT, HR and facilities departments.
