Fortune 500® national security technology leader is expanding its 10+ year relationship with ServiceNow – deploying the ServiceNow AI Platform to provide autonomous, AI-driven workflows designed to cut costs, improve employee experiences, and free employees for mission critical work.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. & RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the AI control tower for business reinvention, and Leidos (NYSE: LDOS), a Fortune 500 industry and technology leader serving government and commercial customers, today announced that Leidos is expanding its use of the ServiceNow AI Platform to power employee experiences and efficient operations with agentic AI. The collaboration is focused on deploying autonomous, AI-driven workflows designed to cut costs, improve employee experiences and satisfaction, scale IT self-service, and centralize AI agent governance with the ServiceNow AI Platform. The deployment runs across FedRAMP environments, supporting the use of AI within government-grade compliance guardrails.

Leidos delivers advanced technology solutions across defense, intelligence, civil, and health markets, supporting some of the most demanding national security programs in the world. With approximately 50,000 employees and $17B+ annual revenue, Leidos operates at a scale where efficient, secure employee services are key for program performance, compliance, and workforce onboarding.

The challenge: expanding the self-service IT experience

As a ServiceNow customer for over 10 years, Leidos was already driving efficiencies with ServiceNow IT, Creator, and Asset Management workflows. As it grew, however, it sought new opportunities to help address rising IT and HR tickets. Leidos turned to ServiceNow to give employees a seamless, AI-enabled self-service experience.

The solution: ServiceNow connects IT, HR, and shared services on a single AI platform

Leidos is expanding its relationship with ServiceNow and deploying the ServiceNow AI Platform across its enterprise – providing autonomous, AI-driven workflows designed to cut costs, improve employee experiences, and free employees for mission critical work.

Leidos is deploying Now Assist and embedding AI across all areas of the business, unifying its employee experience life cycle with ServiceNow EmployeeWorks and HR Service Delivery; the AI Control Tower will further the company’s automated governance and agent orchestration for secure enterprise management. The implementation is expected to significantly reduce manual work and tickets, and free up IT, HR, and shared services resources to help focus on mission-critical tasks. In addition, Leidos’ ServiceNow deployment runs across FedRAMP environments, allowing the company to securely manage data for sensitive digital workflows, IT services, and conversational AI.

Key projected outcomes include:

• $3M+ projected annual savings: As a result of AI-driven IT help desk automation, Level 1 incident resolution time is expected to be reduced from days to minutes.
• Up to 60% autonomous IT ticket resolution: AI agents are targeted to fully resolve the majority of IT support requests without human intervention, with the potential to eliminate approximately 80,000 tickets annually.
• Automated employee services for increased efficiency: ServiceNow EmployeeWorks to provide a fast, seamless conversational AI front door for everyday employee requests, helping accelerate productivity for Leidos employees and reduce ticket requests for service teams.
• Visibility and control of AI agents: AI Control Tower governs and orchestrates across the portfolio of AI agents and workflows, designed to help ensure that models and actions remain compliant, auditable, and aligned with Leidos’ security posture.
