ServiceNow Partner Guide

ServiceNow partner tiers: What Elite means and how to choose the right partner.

Choose on capability, not the badge.

Understand what the ServiceNow partner tiers tell you, then look beyond the badge at expertise, delivery experience and fit.

ServiceNow Partner Tiers

What are the ServiceNow partner tiers?

ServiceNow has five partner tiers: Registered, Select, Premier, Elite and Global Elite. The tiers reflect different levels of capability, experience and customer success, with Global Elite representing the highest tier.

Partner tier is useful context, but it should not be the only factor when choosing a partner. Product expertise, delivery experience, customer outcomes and fit matter too.

Registered

Entry-level partners with foundational ServiceNow capabilities.

Select

Partners with proven capabilities and a growing ServiceNow practice.

Premier

Partners with strong delivery experience, customer success and broader capabilities.

Elite

Top-tier partners with deep expertise, proven customer success and advanced platform capabilities.

Global Elite

The highest tier, with worldwide scale, strategic impact and exceptional customer outcomes.
