ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) shares traded higher in Friday's premarket trading. The company announced a multi-year global partnership with Experian Plc (OTC:EXPGF) to expand AI-driven enterprise automation.
The partnership will integrate Experian's Ascend capabilities into ServiceNow workflows, enabling autonomous AI agents to make faster and more consistent decisions across business operations.
Initial use cases include employee onboarding, third-party risk management, and model lifecycle governance.
By connecting the Experian Ascend Platform with the ServiceNow AI Platform, businesses will gain direct access to Experian's data insights and decisioning tools within existing workflows.
The companies said the integration is designed to help organizations scale AI deployments beyond pilot programs. Industry research identified data limitations as the top barrier for eight in 10 organizations.
The partnership will support businesses in highly regulated industries. Use cases include fraud and identity verification, onboarding, and model risk management applications.
"We see agentic AI as a fundamental change in how intelligent services are delivered, and this partnership brings together complementary strengths and a shared vision for building them the right way," said Keith Little, President of Experian Software Solutions.
Cathy Mauzaize, President, EMEA at ServiceNow, said the partnership will help businesses "move beyond experimentation" by combining ServiceNow's AI Platform with Experian's analytics and decisioning capabilities to deliver faster and smarter AI-driven decisions in a secure environment.
