ServiceNow embroiled in DOJ probe of government contract award

snydeq writes: ServiceNow has reported potential compliance issues to the US Department of Justice “related to one of its government contracts” as well as the hiring of the then-CIO of the US Army to be its head of global public sector, the company said in regulatory filings on Wednesday. The DOJ is looking into the matter, CIO.com reports.

Following an internal investigation, ServiceNow said, its President and COO, CJ Desai, has resigned, while “the other individual has also departed the company.”

The probe also involves what ServiceNow said was the improper hiring of the Army CIO to serve as ServiceNow’s global head of public sector. That executive, Raj Iyer, told CIO.com, “I resigned because I didn’t want to be associated with this fiasco in any way. It’s not my fault.”
