ServiceNow and Google Cloud Expand their Partnership to Deliver AI-powered Tools
The companies share a vision for transforming enterprise work with gen AI. Making the ServiceNow platform and workflows across IT, CRM, and HR available on Google Cloud will allow ServiceNow to bring AI-enhanced experiences to millions of new and existing users. New end-to-end integrations will enable ServiceNow customers to use BigQuery to connect their enterprise data to AI; extend these AI-powered insights to Google Workspace, where users can do things like easily access ServiceNow data directly within Google Sheets and Chat; build gen AI applications on top of their data foundation with Vertex AI; and more.
'ServiceNow and Google Cloud are fundamentally rethinking the way the enterprise runs,' said Bill McDermott, Chairman and CEO, ServiceNow. 'Agentic AI is a revolution! Bringing together the incredible strengths of two of the world's leading innovators will redefine enterprise technology. We're putting AI to work to eliminate boundaries in any industry, anywhere in the world.'
'Businesses are seeking new ways to innovate with generative AI, optimize important workflows, and improve everyday experiences for customers,' said Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud. 'Through our expanded strategic partnership with ServiceNow, customers will now have the data foundation, development platforms, and leading foundation models to easily build gen AI applications that leverage the context and knowledge in ServiceNow–all on top of Google Cloud's AI-optimized infrastructure.'
'Given Deutsche Bank's long-term partnerships with ServiceNow and Google Cloud, this new synergy creates an ideal environment for mutual innovation and increased efficiency,' said Tony Kerrison, Head of Group Technology Infrastructure and Head of Technology, Data and Innovation for the Americas, Deutsche Bank. 'Running ServiceNow's enterprise operations platform on Google Cloud is an exciting development that has the potential to accelerate and optimize our cloud and AI transformation journey.'
Bringing the Now Platform to Google Cloud and Google Distributed Cloud
Bringing the Now Platform and ServiceNow's full suite of workflows, including CRM, ITSM, and SIR solutions, to Google Cloud Marketplace will make it easier for businesses to combine their ServiceNow data with Google Cloud's AI, data analytics, and productivity technology. The Now Platform is a single, unified enterprise-grade platform purpose-built for AI-driven transformation. Because it is built using a single data model and single architecture, the ServiceNow platform can help unite AI agents, data, and workflows to drive exponential productivity across every corner of a business.
ServiceNow will also make its CRM, ITSM, and SIR solutions available on GDC air-gapped , addressing the needs of customers in highly regulated industries.
New data integration to enhance decision-making with AI
To help businesses better unify critical data, ServiceNow will integrate its Workflow Data Fabric —an advanced data integration and governance layer—with BigQuery. This will provide ServiceNow users with realtime, secure access to BigQuery data and enable them to enhance common CRM, ITSM, and SIR solutions, while also adding to AI Agent capabilities.
Customers can turn insights into proactive, operational actions by leveraging BigQuery's analytics to drive real-time automation on the Now Platform in areas like customer service and supply chain optimization. By incorporating predictive maintenance capabilities with machine learning models from BigQuery, users will be able to forecast critical issues like potential equipment failures—addressing them instantly through maintenance alerts and other automated workflows.
The companies will also enable a zero-copy integration to enrich workflows in ServiceNow with data from BigQuery. ServiceNow customers will be able to activate and enrich workflows with data from BigQuery, while BigQuery customers can access data from ServiceNow to unlock high-performance data analysis. Businesses will have access to comprehensive, context-rich data to drive informed decision-making, supporting use cases such as fraud detection and mitigation or network outage resolution.
Innovations that improve everyday work
ServiceNow and Google Cloud will align product and go-to-market resources to help customers integrate technology that optimizes critical business functions, including those powered by gen AI. Key focus areas include: Boosting customer experiences with CRM and Contact Center as a Service: A new integration between ServiceNow CRM and Customer Engagement Suite with Google AI will allow customers to automate and personalize interactions across customer service channels, including self-service voice and chat conversations. For example, the combination of ServiceNow CRM and Agent Assist capabilities will allow businesses to create intuitive experiences with accurate, multi-turn conversations to execute customer service requests. Enhancing ServiceNow workflows with Workspace: ServiceNow will make its data easier to access from directly within Workspace. New integrations will allow for one-click export of ServiceNow data in Sheets to reduce friction and context switching. New integrations with Chat will also empower employees to ask questions and get help through Now Assist without leaving the productivity tools they're working in, allowing IT and HR teams to more efficiently collaborate and manage service requests and incidents.
Availability
ServiceNow plans to launch on Google Cloud Marketplace throughout Q2 and Q3 in various regions. New integrations across BigQuery, Customer Engagement Suite with Google AI, and Workspace are expected to be available later this year. ServiceNow CRM, ITSM, and SIR modules to Infrastructure Operators (IO) in Google-Operated and Partner-Operated models of Google Distributed Cloud are expected to be available later this year. 0 0

Sterling steadies after selloff, fiscal worries prevail
Sterling edged higher on Thursday, stabilising after fiscal concerns and uncertainty about Rachel Reeves' future as Britain's finance minister sparked a selloff across UK assets in the previous session. Markets had been monitoring developments around a welfare bill in parliament where divisions within the Labour party forced Prime Minister Keir Starmer to back down on large spending cuts, leaving a hole in public finances. The selloff gathered steam on fears that Reeves would be replaced, but was contained as Starmer gave the finance minister his full backing. The government has been trying to stick to its self-imposed fiscal rules to try to build investor confidence. However, analysts warn that politically-difficult tax hikes might be needed to balance public accounts and avoid extra borrowing. "The immediate issue is that the government left a very narrow margin in March against their fiscal rules they set themselves," said a group of analysts led by Jim Reid at Deutsche Bank. "So unless we got a big burst of growth before the budget, then the government would need to announce further tax rises or spending cuts if they still want to meet the fiscal rules." Sterling edged up 0.1% to $1.365 after sinking 0.8% in the previous session - its biggest daily drop in more than two weeks. The currency also firmed 0.3% against the euro , which last fetched 86.3 pence. The relief was also visible in bond markets, where the yield on the 10-year gilt dropped 9 basis points. Yields had spiked on Wednesday, with those on the benchmark note at one point registering their largest one-day jump since October 2022. Higher yields would generally support the domestic currency, so Wednesday's reaction highlighted investors' pessimism. Global investors have been grappling with ballooning public debt in developed markets and have also been demanding greater premiums to hold them. Yields on British bonds are among the highest in the developed world. Wednesday's plunge in British assets immediately drew comparisons with Liz Truss' short-lived premiership in 2022, which was derailed by a bond market selloff. Traders expect the Bank of England to cut interest rates by 25 basis points again in September, according to data compiled by LSEG. All eyes will now be on a pivotal U.S. jobs report later in the day that could help gauge the Federal Reserve's monetary policy trajectory. (Reporting by Johann M Cherian Editing by Mark Potter)
