Global IT services provider Cognizant is snapping up ServiceNow Elite channel partner Thirdera as part of a cunning plan to build one of the largest and most credentialed ServiceNow partners.
The acquisition is slated to close by January.
Cognizant wants to mix its team of 1,500 people focused on ServiceNow with 940 people from Thirdera into its ServiceNow business group, which Jason Wojahn, CEO and co-founder of Thirdera will run.
“We built Thirdera as the largest global pure-play partner to help customers achieve more value with ServiceNow,” he said. “And as we continue to explore the ‘third era,’ this digital transformation across the enterprise and across industries, it just became clearer and clearer to us that we needed more reach. We needed more scale,” Wojahn said.
