In return, ServiceNow has standardized on the Zoom platform for its internal communications tool for its 11,000 plus employees. ServiceNow also plans to replace its current phone system with Zoom Phones.

Earlier this month, ServiceNow also entered into an enhanced agreement with Deloitte. As part of the agreement, ServiceNow and Deloitte will conduct joint go-to-market activities to support ServiceNow’s HR solution.
