ServiceNow's ITOM integration for Google Cloud Platform will deliver new features in phases. The initial phase focuses on visibility and is currently available. The second phase focuses on deployment policy and self-service provisioning, including support for Google Deployment Manager (GDM), and is expected to launch over the summer. Moving forward, both companies expect to continue to enhance these integrations as part of their joint roadmaps and expand into the areas of cloud cost reporting, optimization and governance.

"ServiceNow believes it can become a $10 billion company, creating significant opportunity for our global partner ecosystem to grow with us as we help enable digital transformation for customers worldwide," said David Parsons, ServiceNow SVP of Global Alliances and Channel Ecosystem. "The changes announced today more intuitively segment our global partner portfolio, better differentiating levels of expertise for our partners and customers. We also are implementing a more consistent, proactive and predictable joint go‑to‑market engagement framework."
