ServiceNow Launches the Utah Release of the NOW Platform

ServiceNow today unveiled a major platform expansion with the Now Platform Utah release.

The latest version of the intelligent, end-to-end platform for digital transformation includes artificial intelligence-powered process mining with robotic process automation (RPA) capabilities, additional search enhancements, expanded workforce optimization, and health and safety incident management.

The new AI-powered features include the following:

• AI Search, now built into ServiceNow Next Experience, uses AI and natural language processing to help service delivery workers find information faster. AI Search also includes advanced features like auto-complete suggestions, exact match, and typo handling.
• Process Optimization has been expanded to support workflows beyond IT service management (ITSM) to other workflows within the Now Platform, such as field service management (FSM) and more. Improved, AI-powered visibility into hidden inefficiencies allow organizations to apply those recommendations with ServiceNow's RPA solution.
• Workforce Optimization capabilities have been enhanced and expanded to support workflows beyond ITSM and customer service management, into areas like HR.
• Document Intelligence allows customers to accelerate and automate AI-enabled text extraction from documents. The Utah release includes a more streamlined user experience. Document Intelligence also can automatically pull massive amounts of data from long tables in documents like invoices and purchase orders.

A new product experience is included, and a360-degree view of dependencies and resilience metrics provides contextual understanding of upstream and downstream impacts across the organization.
• Log Export Service simplifies security and performance monitoring for Now Platform implementations. Building on ServiceNow Vault, which protects business-critical applications, this solution seamlessly incorporates ServiceNow system and application logs into enterprise security analytics tools.
• Theme Builder allows users to create and manage branded themes via an intuitive interface.
