ServiceNow has been awarded a Framework Agreement to provide cloud services to the Government of Canada through Shared Services Canada. This agreement also consists of a partnership with ipss, a major Canadian Information Technology (IT) cyber security company, to bring the Government of Canada access to ServiceNow's industry-leading Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) capabilities. This certification enables Government of Canada departments to leverage the Now Platform to accelerate cloud adoption, automate workflows and stand up services quickly and easily. This partnership supports the Government of Canada's socio-economic development mandates. It is part of ServiceNow's goal to help the public sector modernize, drive efficiency and deliver better experiences for employees as well as the citizens and businesses they engage with. ServiceNow can help the government deliver on these commitments with its ability to deploy services and solutions in days " not months or years " and provide government stakeholders the ability to quickly and securely respond to issues, or supply citizen- and business-centric services. This Framework Agreement will be available to Shared Services Canada and Government of Canada institutions entitled to purchase via Shared Services Canada.
