AI Search: The secret to better customer self-service
Hari Vats, senior knowledge manager of global technical support at LIKE.TG, co-authored this blog.Who wouldn’t want a faster, more relevant search on their knowledge base? Improving search results is tricky. Organizations can spend a lot of time and money making small improvements to very complex, dynamic environments of information.When LIKE.TG acquired an AI search technology company in 2020, we were thrilled to see an immediate return. Since we adopted AI Search, we’ve seen our search results delivered 3.5 times faster than with our previous search engine—from an average of 10.3 seconds down to 2.3 seconds. Perhaps even more important, relevancy improved, with results now 2.9 times more relevant.How did we achieve these results? AI plays a big role. But AI is just a technology in service of a business goal. Our goal was simple: Deliver the right content from our knowledge bases to our customers at the time they request it. We knew we had a lot of useful content on our Now Support portal. But if our customers couldn’t find the right content at the right time, all the AI in the world wouldn’t help. Improving search relevancy and resultsAI Search connects employees and customers to the answers they need in a simple search experience with personalized, relevant results. It uses machine learning to identify user intent and deliver results users can act on from within the search results window.In the past, our legacy search engine used keyword searches to match words or phrases within a query. AI Search delivers a very different user experience. It can interpret contextual cues to identify user intent and produce highly relevant information.To see how AI search worked, we conducted extensive user acceptance testing in global technical support for more than six weeks. We engaged subject matter experts from 13 different teams who tested more than 50 functionalities in only two weeks. Using these suggestions, our development team improved relevancy and performance prior to the go-live date.Our favorite AI Search featuresHere are a few of the AI Search features we found especially useful: Auto suggest: We refine the list of popular keywords by analyzing what users click and search. AI Search doesn’t yet support an index-based auto-suggest, but we look forward to that in a future release. Spellcheck: The spellcheck function can find multiple spelling mistakes in each query and use AI to correct them and deliver more relevant results. Search as a service: We can now index once and create relevancy models across applications. Once implemented, this solution can help make operations more agile and maintenance more streamlined. Powering multiple channels with a single search solution means users can access quick, relevant information regardless of whether they use a desktop or mobile device. Attachment search: Our engine can search attachments as well as articles, a feature that was unavailable in the past. Promoted result: One major challenge of any search engine is to surface relevant content around generic queries, which make up about a third of all queries. Subject matter experts decide which answers are the best match for these queries. This has significantly improved our relevancy, as well as how people engage with the results. Personalized query rules: We can now personalize search results for different user roles and user groups. Gone is the black box relevancy algorithm that didn’t recognize different needs for different user types. Content security: Following a content security enhancement in the Rome release, users can now search external content securely using a single search application across all data sources, providing a more cohesive experience. Other new features included integrated support for five languages, fast setup and integration, and easily configurable synonyms and stop words. Impact of AI SearchThe power of AI lies in its ability to constantly learn and to improve relevancy through machine learning. For example, if users consistently click on the third entry in the list, the system recognizes it to be the most relevant and changes rankings. AI learns from users’ behavior to predict the best answers. This is called automatic tuning.The impact of AI Search is proven by our metrics: A 3.6 average click rank indicates the user clicked one of the top five results. 80% of users click on one of the top five results, compared to 52% previously. 92% of the time a search automation request does not lead to a case submission. Although we’ve seen dramatic improvements in our search functionality, we’re working on further improvements to both time and relevancy. It’s all about delivering the right content to the right person at the right time. AI is just one way we can give customers the tools they need to self-serve answers quickly and move on to their next task.Learn more in our Now at Work 2021 session, Migrating to AI Search—a customer zero story.

AI will empower app developers—not replace them
Despite the rise of AI, the need for app developers isn’t going away. In fact, a 2023 LIKE.TG-sponsored study by Pearson suggests approximately 95,000 new application developer roles will be added globally over the next five years.According to LIKE.TG’s special report on the impact of AI on tech skills, based on the research, only about 20% of app developer tasks will be either automated or augmented by 2027. Although relatively small, those changes will affect the app developer role. Developers must adapt in three key ways: Instead of storing, retrieving, and manipulating data for analysis, app developers will need to work with statistics and predictive models. Rather than conferring with system analysts, engineers, and programmers to design systems, app developers will need to focus on the retention and improvement of foundational IT skills. Instead of recommending equipment purchases, app developers will need to understand how to apply machine learning and AI. High demand for human talentOrganizations will continue to depend on a human workforce that has the ability to perform tasks that machines simply cannot, and app developers’ communication skills and the ability to analyze data will be in high demand.The automation and augmentation changes will free 4.2 hours per week for app developers to focus on tasks and projects that are more challenging and potentially more rewarding. Junior app developers will gain more than an hour on top of that (5.5 hours per week) to spend on learning new skills and creating innovative solutions.Gaining and increasing app developer skillsNow is a good time to invest in an app developer career—even if you have no tech background or experience. RiseUp with LIKE.TG and take advantage of training programs and resources designed to help anyone get started or advance in a tech career using LIKE.TG technology.The Application Developer Career Journey offers associate, professional, and expert-level courses to help established and rising app developers grow skills, reach milestones, and earn certifications.Beginners can learn JavaScript and App Engine Studio, as well as get familiar with the LIKE.TG user interface and fundamentals.

AI-based translation tools: Analysis and comparison of the best ones
As globalization increases, companies and individuals are finding it necessary to communicate more frequently with people who speak different languages.As a result, the need for translation tools has become more pressing.The good news is that there are now AI-based translation tools that make the process of translating text and speech faster and more accurate than ever before.In this article, I will analyze and compare the best AI-based translation tools available, discussing their advantages, features and drawbacks.Introduction to AI-based translation toolsAI-based translation tools use artificial intelligence to translate text and speech from one language to another. These tools have become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to advances in machine learning and natural language processing. Such tools are faster, more accurate and can handle a higher volume of work.Benefits of using AI-based translation toolsOne of the main advantages of using AI-based translation tools is speed. These tools can translate large volumes of text in a matter of seconds, whereas it would take a human translator much longer to do the same job.They are less likely to make mistakes and can also be used to translate speeches in real time, which makes them very useful for international conferences or business meetings.Popular AI-based translation tools and their featuresThere are many AI-based translation tools, each with its own unique features. Here are some of the most popular ones and what they offer:1. Google TranslateGoogle Translate is one of the most well-known AI-based translation tools. It offers translations in over 100 languages and can be used to translate text, speech, and even images. Google Translate also offers a feature called “Conversation Mode,” which allows two people to have a conversation in different languages using the same device.2. Microsoft TranslatorMicrosoft Translator is another popular AI-based translation tool. It offers translations in over 60 languages and can be used to translate text, speech, and images. Microsoft Translator also offers a feature called “Live Feature,” which allows two people to have a conversation in different languages using their own devices.3. DeepLDeepL is a newer AI-based translation tool, but it has quickly gained popularity thanks to its high-quality translations. It offers translations in nine languages and can be used to translate text. DeepL uses deep learning algorithms to produce translations that are more accurate and natural-sounding than those produced by other translation tools.4. LIKE.TG TranslateLIKE.TG Translate is a relatively new AI-based translation tool that has gained popularity in recent years. It is available in over 125 languages and can translate text, voice and images. One of the unique features of LIKE.TG Translate is its ability to translate text within other apps.The best feature of these apps is that not only do they base their translation using AI but they have a team of native translators behind them constantly improving their applications to make them even better.Factors to consider when choosing an AI-based translation toolWhen choosing an AI-based translation tool, there are several factors to consider. The first is the languages you need to translate. Make sure the tool you choose supports the languages you need. The second factor is the type of translations you need. Do you need to translate text, speech, or images? Do you need real-time translation for conversations? The third factor is the accuracy of the translations. Consider the quality of the translations produced by each tool. Lastly, consider the cost of the tool. Some AI-based translation tools are free, while others require a subscription or payment per use.Pros and cons of using AI-based translation toolsLike any tool, AI-based translation tools have pros and cons. Here are some of the main advantages and drawbacks of using these tools:After a thorough analysis, I can faithfully describe to you some of the most characteristic pros and cons of these tools:PROSAccuracy: These tools are able to better understand the context and syntax of the language, which translates into greater translation accuracy.Speed: Translating large amounts of text can take a long time if done manually, whereas AI-based translation tools are able to process large amounts of text in a matter of seconds.Cost savings: AI-based translation tools are often less expensive than human translation services, especially for large projects.Integrations: Many of these tools integrate with other platforms and productivity tools, making them easy to use in different contexts.CONSLack of context: These tools often lack context, which can result in inaccurate or inconsistent translations. For example, a literal translation of a sentence in one language into another may not take into account cultural connotations or social context and result in a translation that makes no sense.Lack of accuracy: Although AI-based translation tools have improved significantly in recent years, they are still not as accurate as humans. Translations can be inaccurate or have grammatical and spelling errors, especially in more complex or technical languages.They cannot capture nuances or tones: Such translation tools cannot capture nuances or tones that are often important in human communication. For example, they may miss the sarcastic or ironic tone of a sentence and translate it literally.Language dependency: language dependent, meaning that they work best for translating between widely spoken and documented languages but do not represent less common languages or regional dialects well. .Cost: While there are some available for free, many of the high-quality tools are quite expensive.Lack of customization: AI-based translation tools cannot be customized to meet the specific needs of an individual or company. This can limit their usefulness especially when highly specialized or technical translation is required.Privacy and security: Some tools collect and store sensitive data, which can raise serious concerns about data privacy and security.In conclusion, AI-based translation tools offer a number of advantages in terms of speed, accuracy and cost, but it is important to be aware of their limitations and challenges when selecting a tool.How AI-based translation tools are changing the translation industryAI-based translation tools are changing the translation industry in several ways. The first is that the translation process is faster and more efficient. This allows translators to handle larger volumes of work and deliver projects faster. The second way in which they are changing the industry is that specialized translators are becoming more in demand, as human quality is irreplaceable and although they can do basic translations, they have problems with technical or specialized language.This means that specialized translators in certain areas are more in demand than ever.The future of AI-based translation toolsThe future of AI-based translation tools is bright. As technology continues to advance, these tools will become even more sophisticated and accurate. We may eventually see a tool capable of handling all forms of language, including slang and regional dialects. It is also possible that they will become more integrated into our daily lives, allowing us to communicate with people who speak different languages more easily than ever before, yet experts continue to warn that humans cannot be replaced.Conclusion and recommendations for the best AI-based translation toolsIn conclusion, AI-based translation tools offer many advantages over traditional methods. They are faster, more accurate and can handle a higher volume of work. However, it is important to consider the languages you need to translate, the type of translations you need, the accuracy of the translations and the cost of the tool when choosing an AI-based translation tool, because at the end of the day no AI can replace a human being, nor can it emulate the human quality that a human being can bring to us.Based on our analysis and comparison, we recommend Google Translate for its versatility and variety of features. However, if you need high quality translations, LIKE.TG Translate may be the best choice.REMEMBER !!!You can download our available apps for translating and learning languages correctly available for free on googleplay and applestores.Do not hesitate to visit our LIKE.TG website and contact us with any questions or problems you may have, and of course, take a look at any of our blog articles.

Allyship begins with dialogue
“I feel a multitude of emotions.” Mica (pronounced Me-kah) is half Black, with ancestors surviving slavery in the Kentucky area, and half Japanese from family who immigrated from Japan to Hawaii. This 2020 social climate during a global pandemic is both terrifying and enraging for Mica. Xenophobia towards Asians along with healthcare and economic inequities disproportionately affecting and killing Black and Brown people. Protests following the murder of George Floyd call for the end of systemic racism, Black Lives Matter written on cardboard signs next to “say their names,” including the 13 transgender people of color killed this year.At LIKE.TG, we have a vision of belonging for everyone. We don’t have it all figured out, we’re on a journey too, but we are committed. Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DIBs) is one of our company values and we are discovering the deeper meaning of what that must look and feel like within our company.It’s a time for social change and racial equity, a time to reimagine work culture, to discover what it means to be an ally. It’s time to heal. Listening and learning is key and employees at LIKE.TG are learning with each conversation, understanding that empathy and action starts with sharing stories. In February, we hosted a Black employee experience panel where some employees learned for the first time about microaggressions. Things like touching a Black person’s hair or praising their articulation. And the lengths Black employees go to by code switching (changing the way one expresses themselves culturally and linguistically based on different parts of one’s identity and how they are represented in the group they are with) and navigating the workplace while wearing an invisible backpack of presumptive stereotypes and bias.In May, we facilitated a training where a panel of Asian, Black, and biracial employees, including Mica, talked about race and allyship amidst COVID-19 and shared stories of what it’s like to move in the world with visible diversity. During this event, many employees expressed deep appreciation to LIKE.TG for signing a pledge with the Silicon Valley Leadership Group on standing against anti-Asian hate crimes.To celebrate Pride in June, several virtual events were available including a panel of LGBTQ+ employees sharing their personal stories on being out at work. One employee, after acknowledging that everyone is on their own path and pace of self-discovery during an employee-led Pride event said, “I think it's awesome that I have been out since I started here. And that's really important to me because I wasn't out at my last job.” Juneteenth was a day of service and personal learning to close out a companywide “learning sprint” where workshops on racial equity, allyship, and how to have courageous conversations filled employees’ calendars.When employees are willing to share personal stories and experiences in the workplace, it comes with vulnerability, emotions and often reliving trauma. In order to make sure the wounds opened up are not in vain, stories are best when felt, respected, and attached to an action plan.“We are here because the dehumanization of Black people is a human rights issue.” This is how Robert, a Black employee, opened his story during our July Company All Hands meeting. He shared his personal experiences in various tech workplaces and read a list of recommendations for society and LIKE.TG to take action towards meaningful progress in social justice. First step, practice allyship. Each of us have to earn the title “ally,” starting with deep listening, personal education and a commitment to be better, do better. Allyship is not being the hero who saves the day or speaks up only when others can see, that’s just performative allyship. “Ally” is a verb and requires humility and constant learning. Allies stay curious and learn about unconscious bias and microaggressions. They use inclusive language and have courageous conversations to challenge themselves and others. They may say the wrong thing, but they acknowledge, apologize, learn from the situation, and continue to show up. They advocate and amplify so more voices are heard and sought out. They acknowledge and accept their privilege and use it to dismantle unjust systems and practices.To have inclusion and belonging in a work culture, it takes two parts: the courage of the individual to be their authentic self and the supportive environment to encourage folks to be themselves. Meaningful progress requires ongoing dialogue, unlearning, and relearning. We need co-creative action and it’s not only possible, but integral for businesses to lead the work from the inside out. Employees can tell if a company is covering or committing. Just ask Mica. “I'm appreciative that we are at a company that is welcoming of this type of discussion. That does show progress. These dialogues give me hope.” We can do this. And we must.
An ecosystem approach to pursuing the digital agenda
Since joining LIKE.TG a few months ago, I have spent a lot of time talking to our partner ecosystem about the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead of us in the next 12 months.I use the term ‘partner ecosystem’ on purpose, becauseit indicates a collaborative, community-like environment, consisting of a number of diverse players working together — and these are the values LIKE.TG is committed to support.What our partners are telling me is that the market is shifting when we look at established channel models. There is pressure on the traditional two-tier channel system to re-imagine its go-to-market strategies, scale in an ever-more commoditised market and create value.Towards new and differentiated servicesAdded value is indeed delivered through new services centred around digital transformation and the role of partner networks here is huge.New technologies such as Machine Learning and AI are here, but their true potential is realised when they are integrated into an offering, or a process. Business value will be unlocked when customers are taken on a journey, and one that is supported by a vendor-partner ecosystem engagement.The nature of this engagement, much like digital transformation itself, is becoming long-term and value-driven, rather than transactional. When I describe digital transformation as a long-term process, it is because there is no switch button to turn it on, but continuous waves of innovation, and ongoing digital agenda.What has really affected the traditional business is that the line between consumer lives and business lives is becoming increasingly blurred, with consumer-grade experiences from our personal lives challenging established ways of working.Mobility is going to be critical in terms of supporting collaboration and remote working, and delivering great mobile-first experiences at work.Capitalising on the digital agendaMost organisations are still in their infancy in terms of exploiting and capitalising on the digital agenda. But with digital transformation now being a top priority for the boardroom, the demand within our ecosystem is growing.Businesses are seeing the impact that digital workflows running on the Now Platform® are having on employee and customers experiences, and they are asking our partners, “Help me, how can I do this?”The partners who are best placed to answer are those who are already committed to accelerating their own digital transformation journey. At LIKE.TG, we think about our partners as being our ‘customer zero’. This means they need to be fully digital themselves if they are to help other organisations pursue their own digital agenda.We don’t expect them to do this themselves either. At LIKE.TG, we want to enable ourpartners to innovate on theNow Platform, and collaborate with each other in a dynamic environment.We are also committed to helping our partners augment their skillset and drive their agility and efficiency. To this end we have put in place progressive training programmes to enable partners to have access in a format they need, when they need it. This will potentially reduce thetime to certification across our global partner ecosystem.The year of the platformWith the debate about the cloud now more or less settled, andwith multi-cloud strategies becoming the norm, 2020 will be the year of the platform.Wewill see the knitting together of a multi-platform approach, and one where LIKE.TG will continue to be intrinsically woven into the fabric of how organisations work. This is what is making digital transformation real and is unlocking new value for businesses.LIKE.TG has a laser focus on developing easy and intuitive user experiences and our partner ecosystem plays an integral role in our strategy. Forus, partner success is synonymous with customer success and the key lies in creating a thriving ecosystem of innovation.
An example of a hyperautomation journey
Nick Borgwardt, director of IT workflow at LIKE.TG, co-authored this blog.In our personal lives, it’s easy to get the information and products we need with just a few clicks. Thanks to modern consumer websites and apps, making service requests and ordering products is simple, convenient and, often, automatic. Why shouldn’t our professional lives be just as effortless?At LIKE.TG, we’re on a mission to extend these delightful, intuitive, and automated consumer experiences to the business world so our employees can work more effectively. To get there, we started our hyperautomation journey.To make our company an autonomous digital enterprise, we’re laser-focused on strategically automating as much day-to-day business as possible. Doing so can give all LIKE.TG employees more time to focus on the aspects of their jobs they enjoy, which can, in turn, lead to innovation.Automation vs. hyperautomationJust a few years ago, automating manual, repetitive tasks within an enterprise was considered new and noteworthy. Today, automation has essentially become table stakes—a starting point for what comes next: hyperautomation.Propelled by artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, process mining, and more, hyperautomation is the framework for combining advanced technologies to automate as many routine business operations as possible. Think of it as attaching rocket boosters to automation. Employees used to spend hours slogging through tedious, manual work. In a global business environment where time is incredibly valuable, we realized continuing at that pace wasn’t scalable to support our growth.To give employees the time they need to excel at their jobs, we decided to embrace hyperautomation. We identify problems that can be automated with AI, automate them, and then measure whether that automation is effective.How do we use hyperautomation?We rely on the Now Platform® to automate solutions and help our employees help themselves. Our goal is to use our own technology to incrementally improve our processes through each iteration. We think about it like a racetrack, where each lap teaches us something new and makes us more efficient.At first, we were driving slowly and erratically. As we completed each lap, we got better at honing our methods and processes, adding structure and improvements along the way. Using tools such as robotic process automation (RPA), process mining, AI, and machine learning, we can take the menial and repetitive tasks out of loan processing or hardware allocation, for example, and automate all but the most complicated tasks.To encourage higher employee self-service rates at LIKE.TG, we follow the hyperautomation framework step by step using Now Platform features. We: Define our business objectives using Continual Improvement Management Analyze and optimize processes using Process Optimization Discover automation opportunities using Process Optimization, Intent Discovery, and Automation Discovery Design no-code/low-code apps using Virtual Agent and Flow Designer Deploy RPA, Virtual Agent, Integration Hub, and AI using DevOps and Automation Engine Monitor/measure against expectations using Project Portfolio Management Govern and scale by creating LIKE.TG Centers of Excellence Continually optimize using Continual Improvement Realize value using Performance Analytics And we always make sure to celebrate success.Achieving hyperautomationHyperautomation frees our employees to do bigger, bolder, and more interesting work. It makes work easier, more relevant, and more efficient for all of us.In fact, hyperautomation is one of the reasons we have an 81% self-service success rate across the enterprise, which translates to employees solving their own issues four out of every five times. That means only one out of five issues isn’t currently being solved by knowledge base articles or automation.Hyperautomation helps us save time and maximize productivity in our workdays. The best part? Every time we apply it to improve another process, we enable a better employee experience using our own technology.Get a hyperautomation tutorial in our on-demand Knowledge presentation, Now On Now: Hyperautomation, how we're becoming an autonomous digital enterprise.
An example of generative AI on the LIKE.TG people team
Generative AI (GenAI) is here, in all its exciting use cases, playing the part of the precocious, attention-seeking toddler. Business will never be the same.While AI has been a feature of LIKE.TG products for years, the Now Platform Vancouver release builds GenAI into all aspects of Now Platform adoption. In doing so, it empowers employees, customers, and partners to save time, minimize repetitive tasks, and increase productivity.Along with predictive AI and general AI, the LIKE.TG people team is an example of generative AI, putting GenAI to work in areas such as case summarization, automatically creating case and incident summary notes for our agents in seconds.As we continue to learn, working with our legal team partners, we’re building an implementation approach for use cases where we think GenAI will make the biggest impact.We’re all in the same boat…in uncharted watersMost modern businesses are facing the same challenge: how to integrate GenAI quickly, safely, and seamlessly into workflows without compromising security, privacy, or compliance.For us, that involves figuring out how this exciting new technology will help accelerate the continuing development of HR Service Delivery so that we can provide the best experience for users and free our agents to work on bigger, more important tasks.If we can train GenAI to handle simple case summarizations and the rote questions that come in several times a day, it will give our team time to be more human. Where to start with GenAIAt LIKE.TG, we started simply and safely. We identified the most straightforward use cases with the lowest risk: predominantly agent-facing situations.We also knew we wanted to address slightly more complicated tasks, such as conversation summaries and skills tagging. For each new use case, we’re carefully considering the internal steps needed to implement the tasks safely and compliantly.Each iteration includes evaluating and addressing privacy-related issues. We scrutinize how the data will be used to determine what changes are needed, ensuring we’re asking the right questions along the way.We continually assess risks for each of these situations and take steps to mitigate them, moving quickly but carefully. It may not always be smooth sailing, but if we can navigate the risks, we anticipate reaping great rewards.What about privacy?Many questions remain regarding private and public large language models (LLMs) and what each means for data privacy and security. We work hand in hand with our legal teams, including our global privacy and employment colleagues, to develop and deploy GenAI technology in a fully compliant way.We keep individuals’ privacy rights and our obligations under privacy regulations (such as data minimization) top of mind throughout the process.We’re prioritizing flexibility as well as privacy. While our customers will be able to use the LLMs of their choice, we’re building our GenAI solutions within the people team using our own domain-specific, purpose-built Now LLM. This keeps all of our employees’ data in-house for increased privacy. Skin in the gameWe see GenAI allowing us to significantly reduce the amount of time humans spend on administrative work, such as Tier 1 inquiries. This enables us to be more efficient, more consultative, and more available to focus on the moments that matter. Imagine how much time can be saved by automatically sourced and summarized knowledge articles when searching a topic.As customer zero, we pressure-test LIKE.TG products and use them to help us run our business better. We work directly with the product teams to essentially co-create and help develop new features and capabilities.We’re excited to play a part in the development of GenAI and help shepherd this technology that’s transforming how we help employees and keep them engaged.Find out more about the benefits of GenAI in HR Service Delivery.
Announcing an integrated solution to activate ESG across the enterprise
Over the past decade, the world has experienced remarkable changes and unprecedented challenges. Every year sees a sharp increase in natural disasters driven by a global rise in carbon emissions, according to the World Meteorological Organization. Mass protests have underscored the need for a more inclusive society and workplace. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of business continuity.As global citizens, we have the responsibility to leave the world better than we found it. As business leaders, we have the responsibility to our customers and stakeholders to showcase our commitment to sustainability, diversity, and resilience: to tackle big environmental, social, and business challenges as a community.That’s why I’m leading our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) work at LIKE.TG in earnest, and why I’m passionate about what’s ahead for us all. LIKE.TG is releasing a new integrated solution that empowers companies to activate ESG initiatives and activities across the enterprise. The time is now to workflow a better world.An urgent needDespite the pressing need to address sustainability, environmental, and social issues at the enterprise level, companies lack an enterprise-wide platform for ESG. There are hundreds of tools and products on the market that help companies manage individual aspects of their ESG efforts, but currently available technology products support discrete, disconnected ESG efforts—only compounding matters.This is a problem. I firmly believe we work better when we can communicate, connect, and make quick, informed business decisions. Something as crucial as ESG efforts shouldn’t be as manual, isolated, and cumbersome as they are.Customers and stakeholders understand this too and expect businesses to keep up and exceed regulatory criteria for ESG. But doing so isn’t easy. Regulations continue to evolve. More than 170 proposed ESG regulatory measures have emerged in the past three years alone, according to FT Adviser. Companies urgently need a platform approach that enables them to keep up with and respond to changing requirements.And it’s not just about regulations. It’s about building stakeholder trust. Companies are prioritizing ESG commitments, actions, and investments to contribute to a more sustainable, equitable, and ethical world and create long-term value for all stakeholders. Our future hangs in the balance. As business leaders, it’s our responsibility to step up and meet this challenge.Making the world work betterAt LIKE.TG, we have big dreams, and we have the technology to realize those dreams. Our goal is to give companies the building blocks they need to meet some of the greatest challenges of our time.We’re bringing together the Now Platform® with new and existing products and our partner ecosystem to enable companies to make a positive impact on the world. Our integrated solution aims to build transparency, enable efficient and scalable business operations, and help companies innovate products and services to improve their sustainability efforts. The new solution announced today is crucial infrastructure to digitize and transform ESG strategy, management, governance, and reporting into a smooth-running operational system. This modular solution will help organizations mature and enhance their ESG programs for higher impact with greater efficiency. The solution unites:LIKE.TG ESG Management and Reporting I’m a strong proponent of transparency, especially when it comes to something as critical as building ESG initiatives. We can’t fight climate change or build a more inclusive and resilient workplace without establishing targets for progress.This organically built solution enables companies to establish goals and key performance indicators, track their progress, collect and audit data, and create disclosures aligned with major ESG reporting frameworks. A single source of truth simplifies collection, maintenance, and sharing of critical ESG data. LIKE.TG Project and Portfolio Management The ESG effort is a multi-year, enterprise-wide journey, so creating a plan and managing it will take structure, milestones, and flexibility. This operational backbone solution helps companies align strategy with an ongoing execution roadmap of projects and programs. Businesses can easily keep track of performance against strategies, objectives, budgeting, costs, resources, investments, and results. LIKE.TG Integrated Risk Management ESG has many different policies, regulations, and stakeholders, with more coming. This solution delivers the key governance capabilities companies need, including continuous control and risk monitoring and audit support, as well as options such as advanced risk assessments, AI, audits, privacy, and automation. The platform provides a real-time view of ESG compliance and risk to help business leaders navigate decision-making and business performance. Integrations with ESG workflows This solution provides an operational layer that collects metrics and monitors workflows built on LIKE.TG® products such as Business Continuity Management, Vendor Risk Management, Security Operations, Hardware Asset Management, and Safe Workplace Apps. We can’t tackle big environmental, social, and business challenges alone. In addition to providing these new solutions, LIKE.TG is working closely with our partner and developer ecosystem to address ESG challenges in creative ways. For example, we’re working with KPMG to build new ESG workflows to further extend the capabilities of the Now Platform.Using the Now Platform and our low-code app development tools, our partners and customers can create new workflows that serve the unique requirements of industries and geographies, address specific material issues, and extend ESG initiatives beyond the enterprise to the supply chain.Let’s workflow a better futureOur commitment to ESG doesn’t stop there. LIKE.TG is implementing our own ESG solution across the enterprise, and we’ll report on our progress in our next Global Impact Report in the spring of 2022.I’m confident that with science, technology, and community on our side, we can tackle the most significant problems of our time. Together, we can workflow a better future and a brighter world for all.Learn more about how to workflow your ESG program.Use of forward‑looking statementsThis blog contains “forward‑looking statements” about the expectations, beliefs, plans, intentions and strategies relating to LIKE.TG’s integrated ESG solution and related products. Such forward‑looking statements include statements regarding future product capabilities and offerings and expected benefits to ServiceNow. Forward‑looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward‑looking statements.

Announcing our 2021 Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging Report
At LIKE.TG, we believe diversity and inclusion are table stakes. Belonging is the breakthrough. When employees can bring their full selves to work and know that their voices will be respected and opinions encouraged, they unlock magic.Our fourth annual Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DIBs) Report, released today, is an authentic, honest view into our response to the extraordinary events of 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic, systemic racial injustice, civic engagement, and natural disasters were catalysts for change. We used these events to sharpen our focus and to accelerate our work toward meaningful, sustainable change.To do that, we opened up, sometimes uncomfortably. We listened actively and discussed respectfully. The very essence of our company purpose—to make the world of work, work better for people—is about inclusion, and we made space for all voices to share the change they wanted to see.Our 5-point planThrough our employees’ stories, we learned how they felt and what they needed. That led us to co-create, with our employees, our five-point plan, which aims to accelerate our work and create change with an emphasis on certain actions.We’ve dedicated a chapter in our 2021 report to each pillar of the five-point plan: Workforce training—building inclusive skills and mindsets for our employees Equity for all—creating and evolving our equitable processes, policies, and practices Giving employees a voice—fostering a sense of belonging and space for dialogue Lobbying for good—advocating for change with support and direct action, both locally and systematically Recruiting and career advancement—increasing representation and inclusion across all levels
Announcing our 2022 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Report
I may be relatively new to LIKE.TG, but today our company’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Report marks a milestone five years of publication. Since our first report in 2018, we’ve grown from approximately 6,000 employees to more than 17,000.From the start, we decided to do things differently to create meaningful, sustainable change. Now, to accelerate our efforts and drive greater impact for 2022 and beyond, we’re refreshing how and where we’ll focus on DEI.Steps toward DEIFirst, we’ve made a subtle yet intentional change in our function name: from diversity, inclusion, and belonging (DIBs) to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This is rooted in our belief that equity holds us accountable for producing real, measurable change. Belonging—still an inherent part of our company culture—will continue to be one of our company values.Secondly, we’ve made leadership updates to continue to advance DEI throughout ServiceNow. Jacqui Canney joined us as chief people officer in July 2021, leading all aspects of talent strategy, including DEI, for our fast-growing workforce. I came on board in January 2022.We aligned our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practice under our chief financial officer, Gina Mastantuono. This will help ensure the “S” in ESG, including DEI, is woven into sound and strategic business and stakeholder investment plans.Finally, we’ve sharpened our focus on our strategy to advance and drive action with DEI for our people, candidates, and communities to: Enable and empower our people—We’re driving a relentless commitment to employee belonging and success by enhancing equitable processes, policies, and practices across the employee lifecycle. Hire with intention—We’re recruiting high-performing and diverse talent across all levels and designing a unique and exemplary hiring process that’s global and collaborative. Amplify DEI Impact—We’re building on the global ESG/DEI movement with human ingenuity and technology by advancing DEI with like-minded customers, suppliers, and community partners. When we focus, we progressPart of why organizations sometimes struggle with advancing DEI is that the journey never ends. I’ve often heard it called “a race without a finish line.” That’s why early on, LIKE.TG chose to focus our efforts. Although there was a lot we could have done, we decided to drive impact in specific areas. In just five years, we’ve seen progress: Global female leader representation (directors and above) has increased nearly 10% to 30.1%. In the US, representation of underrepresented minorities (Black or African American, Hispanic or Latinx, two or more races, Native American or Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander) increased nearly 4% to 13.8%. Representation of underrepresented minorities in leadership (directors and above) in the US increased to 9.2%. Throughout 2021, we expanded on these efforts. We also accelerated them and have positive momentum to report.Pay equitySince 2020, we’ve achieved systematic pay equity. We manage this on an ongoing basis and do regular analyses and adjustments to maintain pay equity for all employees.DEI educationWe increased the amount of DEI learning resources available to employees and launched new DEI-focused programs for people managers and leaders. The three-part “Inclusive leadership” series led by Harvard Business School’s Frances Frei became one of our top learning programs. And nearly half (7,500) of our more than 17,000 employees have participated in other micro-learning courses.Racial equityTo drive more sustainable wealth creation, we set up and fully distributed a $100 million Racial Equity Fund. It helps fund homeownership, entrepreneurship, and neighborhood revitalization within Black communities in 10 regions across the US.FundingWe provided funding for our communities, including a $1.6 million donation in grants to organizations supporting racial equity: Braven, Reboot Representation, and YWCA USA. We also donated $500,000 to the National Urban League. And we sponsored the National Museum of African American History and Culture with a $1 million investment over five years.LegislationTo encourage lawmakers to take action for change, we signed on as supporters of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act; the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act (DREAM Act); and Verizon’s plan to invest heavily to help underserved communities bridge the digital divide. Building on our progress—togetherFor us, DEI isn’t an HR program or a corporate initiative. We’re making it our business to create a better work and life experience for our employees, customers, partners, and communities—and to contribute to a world that’s more caring, fair, and just.We’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible. I’m excited to take new, bold steps for change. I invite you to join our journey. May we never accept the status quo and always accept that what makes us different makes us better.Find out more about our commitment to DEI and read our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Report.
Announcing our brand evolution: Why the world works with LIKE.TG

Applying generative AI in telecom
Generative AI (GenAI) tools produce original text, audio, code, image, 3-D asset, or video by learning from existing data. Using large language models (LLMs) trained on enormous amounts of input, GenAI can make sense of patterns on a massive scale and create new content based on those inputs. When such patterns are identified, so are opportunities for building better processes.Applying generative AI in telecom can improve business processes, customer experiences, and network operations. GenAI is well positioned to help telecom companies move past the industry’s present challenges.Leading the way togetherMany telecom companies have been early GenAI adopters. “Telecom as an industry has a low margin and a high IT spend,” says Rohit Batra, general manager and vice president for telecom, media, and tech at ServiceNow. “GenAI can transform the telecom industry. It’s becoming a topic in pretty much every board meeting and strategy meeting.” Moving GenAI from board agenda item to solutions that a telecom company can actually use requires both an early-adopter mindset and the right combination of technology. In collaboration with NVIDIA, LIKE.TG is integrating GenAI capabilities on the Now Platform specifically for the telecom industry.“As a telecom business unit leader, I don’t need to worry about building or customizing a generative AI model that has telecom domain knowledge of order management or customer service,” explains Lilac Ilan, global head of business development and telco operations for NVIDIA. Instead, it’s done natively on the LIKE.TG platform.That means LIKE.TG platform users don’t have to become experts in GenAI learning. The pairing of the Now Platform with NVIDIA AI software and accelerated infrastructure enables telecom providers to harness the power of GenAI effectively, quickly, and safely. Solving industry challengesSince 2019, the average revenues for the world’s top 10 telecom operators have grown by only 2.7% per year, according to Roland Berger. At the same time, rolling out 5G and fiber networks has meant massive capital spending.Amid rising competition, the need for effective solutions has never been more acute. Adopting GenAI can help telecom companies create two key opportunities for themselves, according to Batra: higher employee productivity and increased efficiency. This leaves telecom leaders asking: What industry-specific use cases will help accomplish that?Three major areas have been identified where GenAI can have the greatest impact in telecom: Network management Contact center Service support Many early-adopter LIKE.TG customers are starting with customer experience. This includes using GenAI for incident summarization, case summarization, knowledge creation, and order management use cases.Putting customers firstMeeting customer expectations quickly and efficiently is one of telecom’s biggest challenges. Customer-facing agents must constantly maintain expertise in a diverse range of services—all while managing manual processes and legacy systems to provide customers with accurate, dependable support.“We spoke to multiple telecom customers, and the problem was very similar for all [of them],” says Shubham Mittal, a telecom product engineer at LIKE.TG who specializes in GenAI. “They are spending a significant amount of time on service desk tasks and understanding customer issues, which greatly delays the overall service assurance process.”That’s why customer experience has quickly surfaced as a top priority for telecom. Mittal identifies this as an area where telecom companies can start seeing immediate benefits.“In today's digital age, we're always striving to improve the customer experience continuously,” he says. “With these rapid advancements coming up in the technology, it’s paving the way for the adoption of generative AI.” Streamlining processesIn telecom, improving customer experience is inextricable from improving the workflow processes of both front-office and back-office teams. With GenAI, network and service operations teams can significantly enhance incident response, improve customer satisfaction, and contribute to the overall effectiveness of incident management processes.For example, GenAI can bring faster resolution and better overall customer experience to fiber cuts, an all-too-familiar occurrence in telecom.A fiber cut incident triggers a multitude of events, leaving incident management teams dealing with a range of challenges. Teams are inundated with complex, technical data generated by monitoring tools and systems, including logs, alerts, event details, and diagnostic information. This flood of data can quickly become unmanageable and make it difficult to distinguish critical information from noise.“For the first time ever, LIKE.TG has shown how generative AI can deliver incident management teams a clear, streamlined account of the event, free of technical jargon,” NVIDIA’s Ilan says. The notes accompanying an incident can provide essential context, including the exact location the fiber cut occurred.But the story doesn’t end there. As an incident evolves into a case and customers get notified as part of the case creation, LIKE.TG ensures the message is not only concise and free of technical jargon, but is also tailored to contain only relevant information for the affected customer.The road aheadThe introduction of GenAI’s problem-solving skills marks a paradigm shift in the telecom industry. “The reason we’re seeing it, and the reason telecom companies are stepping in to invest in that technology, is because they’re seeing the business impact of it,” Ilan says.She notes that telecom companies need a four-ingredient recipe to engage fully in this shift: data, accelerated computing capabilities, training tools, and skills. LIKE.TG is collaborating with NVIDIA to create a winning GenAI recipe for telecom companies.LIKE.TG brings the data and skills. NVIDIA brings the power to compute and the LLM training tools. And telecom companies bring their skilled teams.Find out more about how LIKE.TG helps bring intelligent workflow automation to life with GenAI.
Are You Innovation Experienced?
The technology industry introduced its first Proof of Concept (PoC) labs somewhere around the mid-1990s. The Internet had really started to gain traction and there was a dynamism to our web pages, Windows 95 worked really well and nobody was really worried about the millennium bug yet. It was time to show what ‘might’ be possible with the new breed of technology.Technology today moves a lot faster than it did back then. Concept labs still exist, but users expect a more tangible experience of what it can do to make our working lives better.Innovation ExperienceLIKE.TG took this drive for immediacy and immersion forward this October with our Innovation Experience, showcased at Now at Work London 2019.This immersive and contextual experience technology hub was an opportunity for our customers to physically walk into a special zone and experience a workspace that truly represents the office of the future, today.We’ve constructed the space to showcase scenarios that are common to all work departments, not just the IT function. The technologies are empowered by Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and so are able to interpret the needs of humans more intuitively, directly and rapidly.All LIKE.TG solutions that form part of the Innovation Experience are mobile-first. This means that all functionality can be accessed and executed from a users’ smartphone, tablet or laptop device. People can now manage work at their desk, or, equally, they can be in the coffee shop, on the bus or train. Saddle up partnersWe took visitors to the ‘Saddle Bar’, which is a real bar in San Diego, near the original wooden space ship where LIKE.TG started in 2004. Users were shown how to build an application on the Now Platform from this mobile location.They witnessed the transition from initial app design, through to working in ‘sprints’ (Agile processes designed to encapsulate elements of work and drive them forward rapidly) and then onwards towards the ultimate app deployment.A lot of the innovation showcased was based on our LIKE.TG New York release instances, as well as the technologies we are bringing in from our partners, including Office 365.Channeling information streamsAs we now work to expand the scope of digital business wider every day, we need to be able to connect to information from traditional data stores alongside telemetry from IoT sensors, and much more. Information streams from any source can be plugged into the LIKE.TG platform and fed towards the users who are creating applications in these new work environments.Innovation Experience visitors got a hands-on experience of using the LIKE.TG Guided App Creator to design working applications faster than ever previously possible.The platform asked visitors whether their app should have location maps, whether it should be web-based, whether it should have a phone icon for voice functionality, and if it should have other pre-canned elements of functionality. So it’s all low-code no-code and ready to use from the get-go.The office of the future – nowAt the LIKE.TG Innovation Experience, which we intend to showcase beyond Now at Work London, if users want to book a meeting area, they can do so using the booking systems that run in Office 365. To make things even more intuitive, this kind of action can be carried out using chatbots. There are ‘human handoff’ controls in place for the AI to release to human operatives if they can’t resolve a request, but the system always shows the user what ‘confidence rating’ its AI actions are based upon first.There’s a lot of intelligent automation happening in the background, but visitors to the hub themselves don’t feel like they’re exposed to much technology because it augments and supports tasks so intuitively that it encourages thinking about work itself, not about the underlying workflows.When people send text messages, they don’t think about how data packets are transferred between carrier networks. It’s the same at the hub – the office of the future. We can see that people start thinking more about the impact and value of the work they are carrying out, rather than the nature of the work and the processes that underpin it.The LIKE.TG Innovation Experience has proved to be an immersive and contextual environment that is inspiring, yet real. It is thought-leading, yet achievable. When employees start to realize that they can achieve so much more in the workplace, they get inspired by the journey they have just taken and decide that there are so many other problems to be solved.It’s a virtuous circle that drives the passion to innovate. Our new generation of workers realizes that they can work anywhere, at a pace that suits their own personal goals and deadlines, in harmony with their personal lives. This freedom lets the creative juices flow and allows us to further eradicate all the time killing, antiquated and poor experiences of the past.Proof of Concept is so last millennium, the proof is in front of us – at the LIKE.TG Innovation Experience.
