Key Program Enhancements

How does the new tier structure benefit partners?
+
The new structure provides clear, performance-based progression paths. Benefits are now directly tied to ServiceNow Store outcomes, including revenue and customer value, creating a transparent and motivating framework for growth from the new “Access Tier” all the way to “Elite.”

How does the streamlined fee structure impact partners?
+
By implementing a unified annual membership fee, ServiceNow has replaced complex, tiered pricing. This simplification reduces friction in onboarding, makes financial planning more predictable, and allows partners to focus on innovation rather than navigating complicated fee structures. It’s complemented by expanded funding, including 100% reimbursement for select activities.

What is the strategic role of the ServiceNow Store?
+
The ServiceNow Store is a strategic asset that functions as a global marketplace for enterprise AI agents and applications. For partners, it is both a primary discovery mechanism and a direct revenue channel, offering enhanced visibility through designations like “best seller” and connecting their innovations directly to customer demand.

The Central Orchestration Layer

ServiceNow positions itself as a neutral platform orchestrating 80+ billion annual workflows, integrating with any hyperscaler, software provider, or large language model.

Vertical Specialization

Partners develop industry-specific AI agents, expanding the platform’s addressable market beyond ServiceNow’s internal capacity.

Workflow Automation

Unprecedented visibility into automation patterns allows partners to build and optimize workflows at an enterprise scale.

Customer Outcome Alignment

Performance-based rewards ensure that partner success is directly tied to measurable customer value and satisfaction.
