MHP named ServiceNow's Automotive Partner of the Year
ServiceNow has named MHP its Partner of the Year for the automotive sector, recognising the consultancy's work delivering projects for carmakers and suppliers on the ServiceNow platform.
The award is part of ServiceNow's annual partner programme, which spans multiple categories and regions. Selection is based on customer success, innovation and business impact.
MHP is a Porsche-owned management and IT consultancy that advises clients on strategy, digital transformation and performance improvement. It works across several sectors, including automotive, manufacturing and technology.
ServiceNow, based in Santa Clara, California, sells workflow software and positions its products around artificial intelligence capabilities. The partner awards sit within its broader ecosystem programme, which includes consultancies, systems integrators and technology providers.
Automotive focus
In the automotive category this year, ServiceNow has prominently highlighted the specialized sector expertise of MHP, specifically focusing on the deployment of sophisticated AI-based workflows within the platform's ecosystem.
The collaboration between these two entities underscores a strategic alignment aimed at optimizing automotive operations, a field where manufacturers are currently forced to strike a delicate balance between increasingly rigorous regulatory requirements and the inherent complexities of global supply chains. By integrating these automated solutions, the partnership aims to streamline the interface between industrial manufacturing and the rising expectations of a modern, digitally-driven customer base.
Furthermore, this announcement serves as a significant indicator of how dominant software vendors are becoming more reliant on dedicated service partners to provide the necessary industry tailoring and high-level implementation support. This trend is particularly visible as major automotive groups significantly ramp up their investments in IT modernization and digital transformation.
These organizations are currently reshaping their core manufacturing operations to be more agile, scaling their connected vehicle services to enhance user experience, and navigating a landscape of tightening data sovereignty and compliance rules that vary across international markets.
MHP said it supports automotive clients through large-scale changes affecting multiple business units. These programmes often span service operations, internal support functions, employee-facing tools and customer-related processes.
ServiceNow said the award recognises partners that combine industry expertise with its AI platform, and linked the category to "industry-specific solutions and measurable business results".
Markus Wambach, group COO at MHP, described the award as recognition of the company's focus on linking technology with business outcomes.
"The ServiceNow Partner of the Year Award confirms our commitment to making innovation measurable. In an increasingly AI-driven environment, strong partnerships are the key to success. Together with ServiceNow, we combine industry expertise and technology to translate AI into powerful workflows and create measurable added value for our customers - faster, more efficient, and scalable," said Markus Wambach, group COO, MHP.
Partner ecosystem
Michael Park, Senior Vice President of global partnerships and channels at ServiceNow, said partners help turn product strategy into deployments used in day-to-day operations.
"Our partners are essential to how ServiceNow wins. MHP is a great example of what makes our partner ecosystem so vibrant. Customers today are looking for the fastest path from AI ambition to real business results. That doesn't happen without partners who can turn platform potential into measurable outcomes," said Park.
The partner award winners will be recognised at a ceremony during ServiceNow's annual customer conference, Knowledge 2026, in Las Vegas.
