DXC Pushes For ServiceNow Dominance With TESM, BusinessNow Acquisitions

DXC Technology wants to take its ServiceNow business up another two notches. The solution provider on Monday announced it has acquired TESM and BusinessNow, two leading ServiceNow partners.

The two deals are the latest in a string of recent ServiceNow-related partner acquisitions. Solution provider Champion Solutions Group last month announced the acquisition of enterprise solution provider systemiC to expand its ServiceNow capabilities. NTT Data Services in October also revealed plans to buy Canadian IT consulting company Sierra Systems to boost its expertise in areas including Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle and ServiceNow.

Terms of DXC Technology's TESM and BusinessNow acquisitions were not disclosed.
