Microsoft  and ServiceNow have inked a partnership, whereby ServiceNow will house its full SaaS experience on Azure in addition to its own private cloud.

The expanded partnership will elevate ServiceNow to one of Microsoft’s strategic partners in its Global ISV Strategic Alliance Portfolio, said the companies in a news release. ServiceNow will use Azure Cloud as part of its preferred cloud platform for certain highly regulated industries.

As part of a separate transaction, Microsoft will implement ServiceNow’s IT & Employee Experience workflow products across its own business.
