He went on to say that integrating Atrinet's discovery and activation capabilities into ServiceNow's telecom industry products will enhance service providers' capacity to manage the entire network lifecycle, thus improving productivity and reducing expenses.
In line with the agreement, Atrinet has been officially recognized as a Consulting and Implementation Partner of ServiceNow. This furthers the relationship between the two companies, broadens their service range by offering implementation services to ServiceNow's clientele.
