The goal is to equip partners with the expertise to help customers implement cutting-edge AI technologies that optimize business processes, improve service delivery, and drive efficiency.
One of the most notable additions to the program is the new GenAI Customer Value Partner of the Year award, which recognizes partners for their outstanding contributions to GenAI adoption and customer success. This new award, along with expanded discounts, rebates, and credits for eligible partners, is expected to foster a highly competitive and rewarding environment for ServiceNow’s global partner network.
Elevation of Infosys and Cognizant to Global Elite Status
ServiceNow also elevated two of its key strategic partners, Infosys and Cognizant, to Global Elite status. This prestigious designation places these companies in the same tier as other top partners, such as Accenture, Deloitte, EY, and KPMG. The Global Elite status signifies a deep level of collaboration and expertise, allowing Infosys and Cognizant to offer ServiceNow’s industry-leading solutions to a wider range of clients, particularly those in need of advanced AI and digital transformation services.
Cognizant has set an ambitious target, aiming for $1 billion in combined business through its ServiceNow Business Group, reflecting the growing importance of the partnership in its broader business strategy. Infosys, on the other hand, is integrating its Cobalt platform with ServiceNow’s Now Assist capabilities to deliver enhanced managed services, further strengthening the partnership's value proposition for clients seeking next-generation digital solutions.
