Self service & Virtual Agent
Self service and virtual agents let your employees get help, choosing from a list of concise and clear options. The ServiceNow ITSM suite applies Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Learning (NLP) to facilitate adoption for your teams, and empower them with self service.
AI & self-service can help your end user for example:
- Reset password,
- Search knowledge base,
- Submit & track IT support tickets,
- Request service/change via chat, getting an instant feedback from a virtual agent.
Predictive intelligence
Predictive Intelligence is made up of repetitive task automation, major incident management, analytics.
Repetitive task automation helps limit the volume of low value tasks and human error caused by multiple categories and assignment groups to choose from. ServiceNow uses past data based Machine Learning and allows to automate routine activities like:
- Initial assessment,
- Categorization,
- Prioritization,
- Overall ticket/request/issue management.
Major Incident Management allows to identify major incident and alert your service desk team, delivering:
- Suggestions of the links between a new issue and the already registered major incident,
- Notifications that an issue should be reprioritized to a new major incident – here your agents can start working upon a new major
incident proposal and its resolution.
