ServiceNow NOW is benefiting from a rich partner base that includes the likes of NVIDIA NVDA, Cisco Systems, Amazon, Aptiv, Vodafone Business, UKG, Zoom and others. This, along with an innovative portfolio, is helping NOW generate strong top-line growth, which jumped 22.4% year over year to $3.22 billion in the second quarter of 2025.
The NVIDIA-NOW collaboration is redefining employee support as the semiconductor giant is using ServiceNow AI to resolve issues, deliver personalized help and provide answers in a short span of time. The long-term partners have collaborated to develop the Apriel Nemotron 15B model that evaluates relationships, applies rules, and weighs goals to reach conclusions or make decisions. ServiceNow and NVIDIA plan to bring accelerated data processing to ServiceNow Workflow Data Fabric with the integration of select NVIDIA NeMo microservices.
ServiceNow’s collaboration with Amazon Web Services helped in bi-directional data integration solutions to eliminate enterprise silos. ServiceNow and Cisco have collaborated to bring together the latter’s AI Defense with ServiceNow SecOps to provide more holistic AI risk management and governance. The integration of ServiceNow CRM capabilities with Aptiv’s platforms and technology from Wind River will offer greater automation and efficiency for telecommunication and enterprise customers. The alliance with UKG has modernized workforce management.
The rich partner base is helping ServiceNow offer solutions that are driving substantial productivity increases for its customers. NOW’s workflows are gaining traction.

For third-quarter 2025, subscription revenues are projected between $3.26 billion and $3.265 billion, suggesting year-over-year growth of 19.5% at cc.

Atlassian’s AI-powered capabilities are seeing rapid adoption, with more than 2.3 million monthly active users engaging with Atlassian Intelligence features, marking a 20 times year-over-year increase in AI interactions during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
Salesforce continues to see broad adoption of its platform as enterprises connect sales, service, marketing and analytics workflows under one system. CRM’s Customer 360 architecture integrates core applications with real-time data and AI, helping enterprises unify engagement and scale digital operations. Salesforce has extended its ecosystem through integrations with Snowflake, Databricks, Google BigQuery, and Amazon Redshift to support zero-copy data access and streamline AI workflows.
