ServiceNow announces that in addition to its own cloud, it will switch its SaaS platform to Azure

ServiceNow, a cloud-based automation platform provider, plans to provide its complete SaaS-based software platform on Microsoft Azure outside of its private cloud. The announcement is actually an expansion of the alliance between the two companies announced last fall.

Like many software vendors such as Adobe, ServiceNow is committed to making Azure Cloud its “cloud platform of choice” (not the only one). For ServiceNow, this commitment requires Azure to “become part of the cloud computing platform of choice in certain strictly regulated industries.” According to ServiceNow’s press release, ServiceNow will be available first in Azure regions in Australia and the United States, and then in other markets.
