ServiceNow Partners: Mergers and Acquisitions
M&A activity involving ServiceNow partners has been strong the past couple of years. ChannelE2E offers a list of ServiceNow partner mergers and acquisitions here.
Buyers are typically grabbing talent and customer accounts amid a shortage of skilled ServiceNow technicians and partners worldwide. The talent shortage prompted CEO John Donahoe to declare 2019 the Year of ServiceNow Certified Professionals. But rather than waiting for training to mitigate the skills shortage, partners are buying up talent through various mergers and acquisitions.
Partners typically track ServiceNow trends and explore M&A deals by attending the annual ServiceNow Knowledge conference.
