Google has reportedly signed a cloud services contract with ServiceNow, marking a major step forward in its push to grow enterprise partnerships. As per Bloomberg report, ServiceNow has committed to spend $1.2 billion over five years.
The deal is a clear sign that Google Cloud is finally starting to pull some real weight in the enterprise game. While AWS and Microsoft Azure still lead the pack, Google’s been quietly building momentum and this agreement with ServiceNow shows that strategy is working. With stronger AI tools, a growing network, and some smart partnerships under its belt, Google Cloud is steadily carving out a bigger space for itself.

ServiceNow didn’t give away much on the exact size of the deal, only saying it works with several cloud providers. Google, on its end, kept quiet too. But what we do know is that ServiceNow has committed nearly $5 billion to cloud services through 2030, as per a recent filing. It’s also worth noting that Amit Zavery who stepped in as ServiceNow’s Chief Product Officer last October came from Google Cloud, which might’ve helped lay the groundwork for this partnership.
ServiceNow has quietly become one of the big names in enterprise software, with a valuation of over $150 billion. It’s best known for helping companies streamline their workflows from IT to HR to customer service. What really stands out is its client list which is packed with giants across industries like finance, healthcare, telecom, and government. Businesses rely on ServiceNow to simplify workflows and bring more efficiency into their day-to-day operations, and that’s exactly what’s kept its growth steady and investors confident.

Meanwhile Google Cloud has been making some bold moves lately, locking in a series of high-profile partnerships to strengthen its presence in the enterprise space. From teaming up with companies like SAP and Nvidia to deepening ties with firms like Deutsche Bank and Shopify, it’s clear the focus is on building real-world use cases that go beyond just infrastructure. Whether it’s powering AI-driven customer support, helping retailers scale faster, or modernizing financial systems, Google Cloud’s recent projects show it’s playing the long game and starting to close the gap with its bigger cloud rivals.
Google Cloud hasn’t raised outside money like startups usually do, but it’s getting a serious financial push from its parent, Alphabet. In its latest Q2 update, Alphabet said it’s raising its capital spending to $85 billion for the year up $10 billion from what it had planned earlier. The jump shows just how fast demand is growing for cloud services and AI infrastructure, and Google clearly wants to stay ahead of the curve.
