ow will offer 40-70% off software for the US Government Its AI platform 
promises 30% better efficiency across workflows The White House already uses 
ServiceNow tools 

ServiceNow has joined the list of tech firms offering the US Government hefty 
discounts on its software to both support federal savings and land a big deal 
at the same time. 

An announcement from the  General Services Administration (GSA) noted 
workflow efficiency boosts of up to 30% were promised via the ServiceNow AI 
Platform, but the federal discounts are set to be even bigger. 

The cloud computing company is offering up to 70% off upgrades to a new 
Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) Pro and Pro Plus Bundle, or 
up to 40% off upgrades to a standalone version of ITSM Pro. GSA secure even 
more software discounts 

GSA Acting Administrator Michael Rigas welcomed the discount, which aligns 
with the White Houses AI push: The Trump Administration is committed to 
leveraging the power of AI to transform government operations and enhance 
citizen services, ensuring we operate with efficiency and agility, while 
leveraging innovative technology. 

ServiceNow has also promised to honor the discounts for three years, until 
September 2028, with standalone upgrade option available for one year. 

The deal doesnt serve as an effort to entice the US Government to migrate, 
though  ServiceNow AI products already handle more than 200 million 
government tasks annually. 

Analysts also estimate 10% of ServiceNows revenue comes from the public 
sector  securing a bigger deal with the White House could boost growth here. 

Our AI platform and solutions will help every federal agency consolidate the 
past, strengthen security, and deliver better outcomes for the American 
people, ServiceNow CEO Bill McDermott added. 

Other short-term discounts under the OneGov centralized IT procurement scheme 
have secured the US Government billions in savings, including a recently 
announced multi-product deal from Microsoft . 

Looking further ahead, its unclear what happens when the discount terms come 
to an end  be it renegotiation of discounts or a reversion to higher prices. 
Sceptics are also concerned that todays huge discounts could lead to pricy 
vendor lock-in later on down the line. You might also like AWS is giving the
