Two software-as-a-service vendors focused on business needs have announced a partnership that will result in their products working together, allowing clients to use the results of one product as input for the other. The companies are Apptio, which provides products, such as software to develop cost models, for what it calls Technology Business Management, and ServiceNow, which delivers service desk functionality in a SaaS model. Combined, users will be able to take the kinds of information gathered by ServiceNow and deliver it to the Apptio family of products, which the companies said will help it build cost models more accurately.
