CreatorCon is always a popular part of LIKE.TG’s Knowledge conference. The multi-day event is all-digital this year. It has attracted a record number of builders, makers, developers, and engineers, who all want to learn about the latest innovations in the Now Platform. As usual, the CreatorCon 2020 Hackathon was a highlight of the event.In a virtual event held over a weekend from May 1-3, nearly 200 teams competed to showcase their skills and build apps that use the Now Platform to solve real business problems. Each team competed in one of the following categories: healthcare, telecom, manufacturing, banking and social good. Five finalist teams made presentations for a panel of judges, and on May 13, judges announced the winning team, which received a prize of $5,000.Marcus Torres, VP of platform product management at LIKE.TG, served as one of the four Hackathon judges along with Karel van der Pol, VP of NowX future products Karel van der Poel, Abhijit Mitra, VP of industry products, and Chris Pope, VP of innovation Chris Pope.“I loved that we’re seeing the community in action,” Torres said. "We had multiple finalists showing this year that it's about people, which is what we really care about as a company." First place: Team: VolteoansApp: Clinical Care ManagementThe Clinical Care Management (CCM) app provides an end-to-end digital clinical care system that helps healthcare teams gather patient medical histories.

There were too many points of contact, multiple systems, and duplicate cases, resulting in increased cost for franchisees. Before 7-Eleven consolidated on the Now Platform, challenging questions used to come up: What’s the average cost of support for that store footprint? Is that profitable for us to run? Why do I have to call to get the status of my case? What does our combined caseload look like for the stores in my area? It had to stop.

One major highlight of Week 5 at Knowledge 2020 was CEO Bill McDermott’s “Dream” keynote presentation, in which he was joined by chief product officer CJ Desai and Amy Lokey, head of design and UX.McDermott led off by explaining how a “workflow revolution” is underway in global business. Powered increasingly by machine learning and artificial intelligence, digital workflows are dramatically improving work experiences for employees and customers, McDermott said.Desai and Lokey showed in different demos how these workflows function on the Now Platform—both in the front-end UX of employee apps and in back-end functions like equipment logistics and threat detection. You can watch the full session here or read a more detailed keynote recap.

The first five weeks of Knowledge 2020 covered a succession of core themes—Accelerate, Build, Succeed, Connect, and Dream. The theme of the sixth and final week of this epic virtual experience is an appropriate one: Act. As in, put all this Knowledge know-how to work with our employees, our customers, and in our jobs.Week 6 covered this ground in style. Kim Felix, president of enterprise technologies at UPS, showed how the global logistics giant pulled off a massive IT consolidation effort using ITOM, ITSM and the Now Platform. We also heard from another Fortune 100 company, Lowe’s, on how the retailer partnered with LIKE.TG to implement a mobile solution for hundreds of Lowes’ IT field technicians.

Each year, I look forward to Now at Work. When you’ve been doing this as long as I have, though, you look forward to some years more than others. Fortunately, this is one of those years, and the reason why is right there in its name.Has there ever been a more exciting time to explore what’s happening now at work?That’s what we are doing today, and it starts with our keynote where we discuss two sides of the same coin: how digital workflows, specifically those included in the Paris release of the Now Platform, enable a dispersed workforce while simultaneously guiding us back to the workplace safely.I’ll leave the latter story to LIKE.TG’s Head of Workplace Services, Robert Teed. To set the stage for Now at Work 2020, it’s interesting to consider the history of modern work.Decoupling “how” we work from “where”For more than 150 years, work patterns changed very little. Even as technology advanced, we maintained organizational designs—employees working the same hours from the same places—that first arose when the advent of steam power brought workers to centralized factories.Then, in the blink of an eye, that shifted. In this new world of work, “how” we work is decoupled from “where” we work. Today, we are simply working—wherever and whenever we choose. In my Now at Work keynote, I explore what that means and what’s required for it to continue.One thing has become clear during this global experiment: whether your employees remain remote or return to the workplace, digital workflows and technology are the key to success in the COVID economy and beyond.Together, they enable the agility and visibility organizations need to emerge from this pandemic bigger and better than before. And they play an important part in the new organizational structures replacing our old, often inflexible ways of working.Digital workflows deliver a 21st century organizationThe pandemic has opened everyone’s eyes to the value of digital transformation and the cost of manual, rigid processes.COVID-19 has forced companies to accelerate these transformations and become 21st century tech-enabled organizations. Most are more resilient as a result, with happier, more productive employees. We have the opportunity to fundamentally reimagine how work, works for every single person. There is no going back.That’s our role at ServiceNow. The Now Platform digitizes manual processes and connects enterprise siloes so that work flows smoothly across your organization. In doing so, we deliver great experiences for employees and customers alike.The Paris release continues that story, but it’s also our furthest step yet towards becoming the workflow engine of the entire enterprise. With it, organizations can improve business continuity, enhance productivity, and pursue new growth opportunities.Automating business continuityAccording to an IDC survey of over 900 global IT leaders, business continuity is the number one priority for most IT leaders. The Paris release automates business continuity programs so employees can focus on closing gaps, addressing organizational changes, and working with stakeholders to increase resiliency.I’m particularly interested in our new Process Optimization feature, which looks beyond data in a system to the data around processes executed within that system. That helps identify bottlenecks and fix processes that aren’t obviously broken but could be significantly strengthened. It’s all automated so organizations can continuously improve their processes.Automation also defines our Advanced Risk Assessment and Business Continuity Management features. By continuously assessing risk, these tools help organizations anticipate and minimize disruptions.Enhancing productivityImproved business continuity tends to support business productivity, but the Paris release also introduces features that boost productivity directly. Here I’ll highlight three innovations that deliver smarter experiences through intelligent, cross-enterprise workflows.Process Automation Designer, for example, allows employees to easily create and manage cross-enterprise workflows, which makes it easy to handle processes like onboarding and customer complaints.Predictive Intelligence Workbench helps organizations add artificial intelligence to these workflows. IT can deploy machine learning models with zero coding skills that then guide employees and automate workflows.Lastly, Vulnerability and Assignment Recommendations uses AI to route software vulnerabilities to the right owners.Driving growthThe Paris release also includes features to help companies optimize their spending.Software Asset Management helps organizations do so by monitoring SaaS usage across applications accessed via Microsoft Azure. Our Hardware Asset Management tool performs a similar task for hardware assets. The new Cloud Insights solution generates advice on how to optimize Azure spend.These products are valuable in and of themselves, but the real message is not product specific. It’s the way smart organizations are using workflows to surface information, automate mundane tasks, and prepare for a world forever reshaped by COVID-19.

Week 4 at Knowledge 2020 expanded the virtual gathering’s breadth and depth, especially when it came to several IT Workflows sessions by top companies around the world. Here are a few highlights from key presentations. (Be sure to register or sign in to get access to everything below.)Streamlined risk management at UnisysGlobal solutions provider Unisys juggles more than 1,000 active projects with customers at any given time. Maintaining data security within each of those projects is a huge priority—and a complex workflow challenge. “We deliver secure digital solutions to the most demanding businesses around the globe,” explained Unisys senior director of GRC, Seshadri PS, in his session with Iceberg Network’s Andrew Vesay. “Security is the center of everything we do.”Unisys’s GRC processes, however, were bogged down by manual tasks, such as making updates and changes in Excel files. Managers lacked a standardized, digital process for risk review. “There was no clear visibility between risk and compliance,” said PS.Unisys worked with Iceberg to implement LIKE.TG’s GRC platform, which solved multiple issues, from automating data intake to installing real-time risk monitoring. While LIKE.TG technology enables that today, cultural change proved to be a critical success factor, said PS. The implementation team created webinars for customer project managers, built tutorials and FAQs, and coordinated internal launch communications.Those strategies “allowed them to learn so they’re able to carry out projects themselves,” he said. “You can do all these technical things, but if you don’t have organizational change, implementation isn’t going to be strong.”Watch the full session: Rapid security breach isolation with Unisys Stealth and LIKE.TG SecOps A first for third-party risk managementFinancial services companies today must manage a “massive volume of third parties,” explained Tobias Aabel, vendor security manager at DNB, Norway’s largest financial services group. For DNB, the list of third-party firms it manages runs into the thousands and includes distributors, partners, vendors, outsourcing firms, consultants, and others.Facing a steady stream of new regulatory requirements, such as the European Union’s GDPR regulations, which went into effect in 2018, DNB struggled to balance increasing dependence on third parties with the types of escalating risks they present—from supply chain cyberattacks and financial stability to money laundering. “Who’s in trouble when these third parties mess up?” asked Aabel. “That would be you.”Enter LIKE.TG Vendor Risk Management, which DNB worked to implement with digital integration firm Sopra Steria. Among other functions, the Now platform gives DNB a 360-type tool to digitally manage vendor contract management and signing, and allows risk managers to run multiple existing VRM processes through a new third-party risk portal.“You’ve placed significant values in the hands of your third parties,” Aabel said. “You have to make sure you can really trust them.”Watch the full session: DevOps and ITSM: From clash of cultures to happy coexistence Real-time threat intelligence at NCRThousands of companies today are challenged to make a critical shift in cybersecurity operations—from reactive processes to proactive ones, using digital threat intelligence to handle vulnerability management.That has been the focus of recent efforts at NCR, a top digital solutions provider to financial, retail, travel, telecom and technology companies around the world. NCR cyber threat intelligence lead Dusan Vignjevic, explained in an IT Workflow session how new, real-time threat intelligence, enabled by LIKE.TG, has helped NCR “to prioritize vulnerabilities, and find those needles in the haystack.”Before NCR implemented LIKE.TG, security teams struggled with manual processes for reporting and threat tracking, inconsistent data, and a rising volume of overall threats. The new system, by contrast, provides automated reporting that saves time, tracks false positives and exceptions, and gives managers a unified dashboard and easy visibility into key security metrics.Not only has the new system lowered overall risk for NCR, the real-time data helps security analysts succeed at higher-level tasks. As NCR IT consultant Rajanikanta Dash explained, LIKE.TG “helps analysts make good decisions to elevate patching of any important vulnerability.”Watch the full session: How NCR built a proactive security program leveraging automation and Threat Intelligence

Every executive follows trends in their industry to keep tabs on competitors. There’s often equal value in applying insights from innovators in other sectors.Knowledge 2021 attendees can do both. Presentations from companies in five major industries—manufacturing, financial services, healthcare, telecom, and government—will show digital transformation trends in each sector. Companies are putting LIKE.TG to work to help them redefine customer and employee experiences, streamline service delivery, and unlock the value of digital workflows.Here’s a quick look at what’s on tap in each sector:ManufacturingAs the challenges of 2020 showed, efficient supply chains can be a critical differentiator in many industries, especially manufacturing. One Knowledge session, Creating supply chain transparency in manufacturing, will show why better transparency can help organizations respond to many supply chain business challenges. It will also demonstrate how a central portal for vendors to submit issues can help businesses track and resolve vendor queries.Partnerships are also vital, especially if your business wants to compete on experience. The Create world-class partnerships session will explain the importance of building relationships with distributors, resellers, and other third parties.In another session, Delivering operational excellence in manufacturing, attendees will find out how to create a seamless experience for resellers, improve service quality, and reduce costs.Financial servicesWhat you do (or don’t do) on the operations level in financial services will influence customer experience. In the financial services keynote address, experts will discuss recent changes in the industry, now that customers have adopted digital services and workforces are accustomed to remote working.In Delivering the digital future of financial services, attendees will see how companies have responded to the pandemic with a stronger focus on improving agility, scalability, and time to innovation.The Transform customer journeys end to end with the Financial Services Operations Platform session will show how the Now Platform helps deliver better experiences, drive productivity, and streamline compliance.HealthcareThe pandemic disrupted every industry, but most acutely healthcare and life sciences. That’s the central focus of the Knowledge 2021 healthcare keynote. That disruption accelerated digital transformation for many organizations—at first, to deal with immediate challenges, and now to leverage that ability to transform care.As industry experts will share in sessions such as Unlocking the power of LIKE.TG for healthcare and life sciences, creating consumer-like experiences can have far-reaching impacts on staff, safety, and patients.In other sessions, attendees can learn how healthcare organizations are automating workflows, investing in self-service tools, and connecting cross-functional health teams and multiple clinical systems through personalized experiences.TelecomIn the telecom keynote, presenters will show how companies are redefining themselves in this ultra-competitive market. Some are embracing the shift by looking at internal challenges such as fragmented customer engagement points and service delivery processes. To delight customers, many are using LIKE.TG to connect service centers and network operations to re-imagine the customer experience.To launch new services that drive revenue, telecom businesses have to scale service and operations to increase efficiency and create next-generation experiences. In Streamlining service delivery at Deutsche Telekom, you’ll hear how the German service provider is streamlining its order management process, bringing solutions to market faster, and boosting productivity.GovernmentEven after investing billions in IT, many government agencies struggle to meet citizen expectations. In How to digitize a federal government agency, you’ll learn how the US General Services Administration (GSA) and others are meeting the challenge.By focusing on governance, common data models, and reusable solutions, GSA’s IT team has rapidly implemented new digital workflows.

We need digital workflows to connect departments, fill gaps we can’t see, and free people from routine process to do their best work. The world’s most trusted C-suite innovators are shaping the future of work by delivering digital workflows to solve these pressing challenges.At Knowledge 2021, we’re serving up two weeks of incredible customer stories, live experiences, visionary keynotes, and expert-led sessions straight to your screen, wherever you are.LIKE.TG’s Asia-Pacific community will receive world-first access to the digital experience on May 11, with a keynote by CEO Bill McDermott and other LIKE.TG leaders (10 am SGT; 12 pm AEST).A focus on peopleKnowledge 2021 kicks off in a very different place from last year. While many of us are still working from home or embracing hybrid life, our definition of work—where and how we get it done—has changed considerably. And these challenges shaped our Knowledge 2021 theme: “Workflow your world.”People’s experiences matter most as consumers and employees. Today, we’re measuring progress in experience, not process. The future of work will be fueled by workflows that find the most direct route to customers and employees—and make it simple for people.The unrelenting pace to match digital demands is only set to increase in this rapidly changing environment. Every company is racing to deliver great experiences in pursuit of the same outcomes: speed, agility, resilience, and productivity.At Knowledge 2021, you can attend bite-sized customer innovation sessions to learn how Toyota Motor Company Australia, Standard Chartered Bank, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, JG Summit Holdings, and NEC improved their customer and employee experience.How to participateFirst, register for Knowledge 2021.

The Knowledge 2021 Digital Experience, our annual user conference, includes sessions from LIKE.TG customers and partners about how they’re leveraging the Now Platform to grow their businesses and reshape their industries.In the opening keynote session, CEO Bill McDermott and other presenters showed how LIKE.TG helped “workflow the world” during the pandemic, using the Now Platform to help government agencies, health systems, schools, and other organizations deliver essential services when they were needed most.“We realized this was the time for exponential thinking,” said McDermott at the start of the event, broadcast from the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. “Go big or go home. But we were already home, so we went big.”“Our team dug deep to understand the needs of our customers and helped them use the Now Platform to navigate these new situations,” added Lara Caimi, chief customer and partner officer. “What we heard over and over was that the Now Platform enabled them to make a real difference in the world.” Workflow the challengeAt the top of the list was helping solve the biggest workflow challenge in modern history: distributing vaccines to hundreds of millions of people around the world in record time. In Scotland, LIKE.TG built an app for the national health service to schedule vaccine appointments and to better engage with patients, many of whom were locked in at home, fearful of venturing out even for routine medical visits.Digital workflows also helped the University of Michigan’s medical center, Michigan Medicine, pivot rapidly to support remote employees, allowing on-site medical personnel to maintain care for patients without missing a beat.In Los Angeles, city officials worked with LIKE.TG to develop a COVID-19 testing app early in the crisis. But new challenges soon emerged: Residents needed critical assistance to help feed their families, pay rent, and support other needs. Using the Now Platform, the city came up with a plan to help thousands of families during critical moments.“But they needed technology to action that plan,” Caimi said. “And they needed it to function across a diverse, multilingual population. So, they said, ‘Let’s workflow it.’”Officials with the National Basketball Association did the same thing for a different purpose. When the league needed to host NBA and WNBA playoff games at a single, safe venue during the height of the pandemic, LIKE.TG workflows helped make it happen without a hitch. In less than a week, the NBA implemented LIKE.TG workflows to bring together 2,600 players, journalists, and supporting staff (including coaches, trainers, vendors, and janitors) inside a special isolation zone, the “NBA Bubble,” at Orlando’s Disney World.LIKE.TG workflows helped people in other ways during the pandemic. State and federal agencies in the US battled more than 50,000 wildfires in 2020 that destroyed nearly twice as many acres as they did in 2019. Until LIKE.TG stepped in, dispatchers at one federal agency had to manually enter the geolocation coordinates of each fire into 26 separate systems. With digital workflows now powering those functions, the new system enables aircraft, equipment, crews, and supplies to be easily visible in the system, speeding response times and helping to save homes and lives.“We have the best engineering team who built workflows in days and weeks, like our Emergency Response apps and our Safe Workplace Suite of apps,” said McDermott.From desire to deliverableChief Innovation Officer Dave Wright pointed out that almost every type of human activity is a workflow—from family meal planning and yardwork to getting a home mortgage, which itself “is a mess of processes organized into a sequence,” he said. “That’s the power of a LIKE.TG workflow: It’s a repeatable pattern of activities and data that link a desire to a deliverable that offers the user a great experience.”Machine learning tools on the Now Platform are helping to create those experiences. They can produce topic recommendations for virtual agents to better assist customers, said Chief Product Officer CJ Desai. That has already helped boost customer satisfaction and validated the use of artificial intelligence in customer support.Next up, Desai added, is a concept called intelligent workflow automation, which combines machine learning, natural language understanding (NLU), and robotic process automation (RPA) and applies them to workflow solutions to make tasks happen faster.Looking back on the team’s accomplishments over the past year, McDermott closed the session by encouraging more workflow innovation in the years to come. “If you can dream it,” he said, “we can make it happen.”It’s not too late to register for Knowledge 2021 if you haven’t already.

COVID-19 accelerated many of the changes that were happening at work pre-pandemic, setting off a spike in innovation as companies developed new workflows to address these changes.According to LIKE.TG’s 2021 Employee Experience Imperative Study that surveyed 3,000 employees at large enterprise companies in North America and Europe, 62% of employees believe COVID-19 will have a significant impact on their work experience for years to come. In addition, 65% hope to have a hybrid approach to digital and in-person interactions when it’s safe to return to the office.In an increasingly distributed workplace, companies must better connect processes, reduce bottlenecks, and simplify and streamline the way work gets done across the enterprise.Introducing Employee Journey ManagementToday, we’re thrilled to introduce Employee Journey Management, a new package of enterprise-wide capabilities focused on improving the employee experience as they navigate the moments that matter most in their work lives, including returning to work, setting up remote workspaces, transferring departments, and being promoted.Employees are on their own unique career journeys with their organizations, and each path is fluid and dynamic. Employees should be supported with resources that are personalized to their needs and tools that connect all the departments they’ll interact with—from HR and IT to legal, procurement, and workplace services.With Employee Journey Management, HR teams can craft a complete workflow that spans the enterprise, connecting disparate processes and siloed systems, with no coding required. Managers can personalize these workflows with no-code tools to fit the unique needs of departments, teams, and even individuals.As a result, employees have access to all the resources they need in one place, so they don’t have to click through multiple systems to complete tasks such as adjusting benefits, participating in trainings, and getting help.Employee Journey Management capabilitiesThe capabilities in Employee Journey Management include: Journey Accelerator: An app that helps managers create customized role-based plans for employees. Managers can use Journey Accelerator to organize activities and tasks personalized to an employee’s specific role to help them be successful and productive through any stage of their career journey—such as a promotion or a transfer to a new team. Listening Posts: Capture employee feedback and enhance the employee experiences in the moment with pulse surveys across any service request or any stage in an employee’s journey. This real-time feedback enables organizations to make key modifications to further improve processes. Learning Posts: A successful employee journey should be supported with learning opportunities, and organizations need to be able to deliver these experiences to employees directly in the flow of their work. Learning Posts help employees upskill with relevant, contextual learning based on their interests and needs so they get the help when they need it. Lifecycle Events: While many requests an employee makes throughout their journey may be simple, others—such as remote onboarding, returning to the workplace post-COVID, and offboarding and reboarding furloughed employees—are more complex and require multiple actions across departments. Lifecycle Events, first launched in 2017, are workflows managed at the corporate level that enable organizations to automate complex processes across the company. This helps create great employee experiences during the moments that matter most. Experience Packs: Employee Experience Packs give HR a blueprint to deliver simplified journeys with prepackaged configurations, content, and workflows. They include sample knowledge articles and virtual agent conversations that employees can use for self-help and sample HR cases and tasks. Employee Experience Packs help teams leverage best practices from our customer design partners, accelerate time to value, and enable fast adoption of new, innovative employee experiences. Learning Posts are expected to be available in the LIKE.TG Store on May 20, 2021. All other capabilities are available today. Improving the employee experienceBristol Myers Squibb, a global biopharmaceutical company, has been collaborating with LIKE.TG for more than seven years. Together, the companies have built a digital onboarding tool powered by LIKE.TG® Lifecycle Events, and an employee service portal. These new tools give employees access to the resources they need to be successful even before their first day on the job and create a truly unified experience across the enterprise.The onboarding tool streamlines tasks and guidance across departments onto a single platform and creates an accelerated path to success with curated content and early access to information, while providing managers with tools to easily assign tasks, conduct trainings, and mentor employees. These resources were critical before the pandemic and proved even more essential amid COVID-19 as employees needed digital tools at their fingertips to overcome the challenges of remote work.“When we began working with LIKE.TG, we knew we needed to create tools that instilled a sense of belonging, fostered engagement, and accelerated new hire integration even before day one,” said Lori Moser, head of experience and engagement at Bristol Myers Squibb.“Our collaboration with LIKE.TG has allowed us to build innovative, unified experiences for employees working from anywhere, enabling us to drive the employee experience forward.”Leaders are leveraging lessons learned during COVID-19 and applying digital workflows to create even greater employee experiences for the new era of work.Learn more about simplifying and streamlining the employee experience at Knowledge 2021.LIKE.TG, the LIKE.TG logo, Now, and other LIKE.TG marks are trademarks and/or registered trademarks of LIKE.TG, Inc. in the United States and/or other countries.

CreatorCon, the developer conference within Knowledge 2021, is the place where new and experienced programmers gather to chat about code, If statements, and the intricacies of Java versus Linux.But you don’t have to be a coder to attend. Anyone who uses enterprise software can learn something valuable and create workflow apps that transform business. Plus, CreatorCon is just plain fun. Here are three reasons you should attend CreatorCon, even if you don’t live and breathe code:1. There’s something for everyoneAlthough full-stack developers and architects attend CreatorCon, the conference also offers learnings and activities for citizen developers, or builders—those with little or no experience writing code. For example, builders can find the necessary tools to build apps without having to know how to code.Builders understand the business and can help build custom applications from scratch or use out-of-the-box software, without relying on developers for the basics. With a reduced app backlog, developers are free to work on complex app features and capabilities that require code.Architects—those tasked with writing software standards—can link up with developers to make sure their apps comply with corporate governance policies. Because architects normally report to CIOs and CTOs, their input is crucial to ensure developers don’t waste time creating software that companies ultimately can’t use.Whether you’re in retail, healthcare, manufacturing, or entertainment, every industry (and the world) runs on bits of code. Every employee in the digital economy should have at least some working knowledge of these algorithms.2. You’ll be inspiredAs the name suggests, CreatorCon is about creativity, innovation, and inspiration. Instead of paintbrushes and violins, developers use code to bring awesome ideas to life.You can watch this creativity unfold in real time at the CreaterCon Hackathon event, where teams of all types go head-to-head in a weekend-long quest for fun, prizes, and glory. This is an excellent opportunity to get a firsthand look at how people build apps to solve real business problems. See the CreatorCon Hacakthon Finale to find out who prevails as the ultimate winner.3. You can let looseTalking code and designing apps is serious business. But that doesn’t mean developers can’t have some fun.At CreatorCon, you can watch Chuck Tomasi, LIKE.TG’s bespectacled senior developer advocate, headline a virtual karaoke party. You pick from hundreds of songs, and Tomasi will do his best to sing them using the LIKE.TG karaoke app. The longer he goes, the more LIKE.TG donates to code.org.At our live coding happy hour, you can enjoy a drink as our experts develop and enhance real applications with unscripted and unprepared examples. You’ll learn problem-solving techniques live on the Now Platform.Get ready for CreatorConFinally, here’s a handy cheat sheet to help decode lingo you’re likely to hear: App Engine – the tool you need to build custom apps on the Now Platform. App Engine is one of the products within Creator Workflows. The App Engine SKU unlocks tools such as AES and more table capacity to build custom apps on the Now Platform. Builder – a low-code, no-code, citizen developer Creator – anyone who builds and works on the Now Platform Creator Workflows – the top-level pillar for all things custom app development Now Creator – LIKE.TG online user profile; creators get badges for mastering various Now Platform skills Now Platform – the platform on which all LIKE.TG apps run We hope to see you at CreatorCon.
