ServiceNow has taken off from New York and landed in Orlando. While the New York release highlighted the Now Mobile application and features like the guided app creator and integration hub, ServiceNow Orlando release dives deeper into the world of AI and analytics.  

The most exciting part of the New York release was the Natural Language Understanding (NLU) model builder, a major boost to machine learning.  By feeding the system sample sentences and phrases specific to your organization and helping it understand word meanings and contexts, you can train the system to better recognize user statements in conversations. New York’s successor, ServiceNow Orlando, takes this a step further with features such as the ability to clone an NLU model and import common entities. And the best part is it requires no coding experience.  

Armed with ServiceNow Orlando release features, enterprises can harness the power of AI to work smarter and make informed business decisions. From updates to predictive intelligence, mobile onboarding and HR service delivery, here are the top Orlando release highlights that are set to revamp your business. 

1. Now Intelligence

The AI engine behind Now intelligence helps predict issues and automates action through analytics, which in turn improves speed and efficiency of the incident or problem cycle. Metrics and visualizations generated through this feature help enterprises make informed decisions. Now Intelligence analytics can understand and respond to employees’ questions in natural language but with limited access. 

2. Workspace at your fingertips 

Now Mobile application, a key feature of the New York release, is now further enhanced. The feature promises increased efficiency of on-the-go work with mobile dashboards and powerful new workspaces allowing agents to access everything they need simply with a tap on their phone screen.

ServiceNow has also updated its predictive intelligence, the AI/ML-based request processor, which reduces error rates and time taken for resolution. Among the updates is out-of-the-box machine learning, which automatically clusters groups to quickly understand what each group of record represents. These enhancements also help in improving outcomes in search results. ServiceNow Orlando release supports TF-IDF-based (term frequency-inverse document frequency) classification in addition to existing word embedding-based classification. TF-IDF-based classification would expedite time taken to resolve requests.
