The “New” ServiceNow® Knowledge18 Highlights and Key Takeaways

A record 20,000 attendees consisting of a vast array of enterprise IT professionals and leaders gathered at the Sands Expo Hall in Las Vegas last week to experience the future of work according to ServiceNow – and the company did not disappoint!

The massive 3-day event was packed with keynotes, analyst presentations, classroom sessions, developer labs and exhibits with over 100 ServiceNow partners, showcasing the latest technologies, trends and topics related to the future of ServiceNow, the ecosystem and how the company is empowering digital transformations and delivering great customer and employee experiences.

Read on to explore the top highlights from the show:

1. ServiceNow's New Look
   Definitely a big part of the buzz was the unveiling  of ServiceNow’s new logo and branding. No doubt emphasizing a desire to excite buyers and users beyond the IT department, the new logo replaces the on/off button that once served as the “o” in “Now” with a human-style form to suggest people, rather than technology, are at the center of the brand. 
2. Technology Focus
   A large dose of the buzz was also around the five ServiceNow suites: Customer Service Management (CSM), IT (including ITOM, ITBM, and ITSM), Security Operations, HR Service Delivery and Custom Apps. It is clear that the ServiceNow platform is expanding at an extraordinary rate, with the core suites increasing in depth, especially CSM. We also learned more about the new technology in upcoming releases, i.e. London in Q3 of this year, that ServiceNow has dropped all across Knowledge18 sessions. We also got a good lesson from keynotes on emerging technologies like AI, automation and machine learning.
3. 3CLogic Hackathon Win 
   

   On the topic of machine learning and AI, 3CLogic was named the overall winner of the CreatorCon Hackathon. “Team Vocalize”, consisting of developers Rahul Malhotra, Swati Malhotra, and Amar Singh, with executive sponsor Guillaume Seynhaeve, 3CLogic vice president of Business Development & Sales, beat out 28 other teams with its application that showcased the power of speech transcription with artificial intelligence and machine learning to translate the voice of the customer into actionable ServiceNow tasks. 
   
   The application solves a number of crucial challenges in today’s contact center landscape, including the ability to:

   • Capture customer engagements for analysis to drive key insights into the quality of the interaction
   • Improve responsiveness to exceed customer expectations, while giving supervisors an unbiased and real-time view of the emotion of clients being served.
   • Leverage a coaching platform for agent training and improvement.

   The team created the app using commercial off-the-shelf technology, including Amazon Web Services Transcribe, Lamda and Comprehend, together with the 3CLogic cloud-based IVR solution and the ServiceNow platform. Read more in our press release.

4. 3CLogic New Native Integration with ServiceNow
   3CLogic unveiled its new solution at Knowledge18 that features a fully-native integration within the ServiceNow® platform. Enterprises can now operate their call centers from a single, consolidated platform leveraging a unified agent and administrator experience to simplify the delivery of high quality customer engagement and support. Traffic at the booth was constant to see first-hand how agents and administrators can now work more effectively and efficiently with all customer data, workflow and enterprise resources in one place, without having to leave ServiceNow.

If you missed us at the show, view our new ServiceNow integration video here.

3CLogic is proud to be the only ISV Silver Technology Partner with a fully native telephony solution with ServiceNow. And like ServiceNow, 3CLogic’s platform will continue to evolve and address the emerging needs and requirements in today’s customer-centric organizations.

Trained and proficient agents translate into happy customers, with monitoring and coaching playing an important role in developing agents’ abilities.

Trained and proficient agents translate into happy customers, with monitoring and coaching playing an important role in developing agents’ abilities. Consilium UniRSM™ is a perfect solution for this, where supervisors can perform real-time quality monitoring and coaching by dialing in from any phone with secure, role-based access. Has your contact center moved to Cisco Jabber softphones for agents, moved to the Cisco Remote Agent over Broadband approach, or using a Cisco Unified Communications Mobile and Remote Access deployment (MRA), or perhaps enabled agents to use their mobile phones for the voice endpoint using Cisco Unified Mobile Agent (CUMA)? Consilium UniRSM™ has a real-time monitoring solution for all contact center deployment models, and works with Cisco UCCE, PCCE, HCS-CC, UCCX and even for CUCM-only collaboration environments. Apart from an IVR dial-in method, UniRSM™ also has a mobile and desktop-based WebViewer version. UniRSM™ is the preferred choice of contact centers globally who are seeking real-time monitoring and coaching functionality as a migration option for the end-of-sale Cisco Remote Silent Monitoring (RSM) product. The new UniRSM™ architecture achieves this with endpoint-based monitoring where built-in-bridge (BiB) is supported by the agent’s voice endpoint for silent monitoring, or with trunk-side monitoring where SIPREC is used for duplication of media at the Cisco CUBE (the latter applying for monitoring agents without BiB or when silent monitoring is not supported, such as when using Jabber over MRA.) Continuous improvement is only possible with effort, so monitoring and coaching are not really a nice-to-have, but a must-have. Call monitoring helps contact centers improve by helping new and struggling agents become better, and turning good agents into great agents. The agents improve, the contact center excels, the company grows, and customers see visible results and become net promoters. With UniRSM™, everyone wins.
