When the Workflow Met watsonx: Two Giants Go Hunting for AI's Missing Foundation

On June 11, 2026, ServiceNow and IBM announced an expanded multi-year collaboration aimed at clearing two of the biggest obstacles to enterprise AI at scale: brittle legacy applications and ungoverned, AI-unready data. The companies will deliver joint solutions across three pillars — application modernization, enterprise data governance, and autonomous infrastructure operations — pairing the ServiceNow AI Platform with IBM tools including IBM Bob, watsonx.data, Red Hat Ansible, Instana, and HashiCorp Terraform and Vault. The solutions are expected in the second half of 2026.
