Transforming ITSM with ServiceNow Now Assist for Faster Resolutions

As organizations grow, IT service management (ITSM) becomes increasingly complex. Handling incidents efficiently while maintaining high service quality is a critical challenge. zeb, a trusted ServiceNow partner, helps organizations leverage Now Assist for ITSM by embedding AI directly into IT support workflows. This integration reduces manual processes, accelerates issue resolution, and enhances the overall user experience.

Understanding Now Assist for ITSM with zeb

Now Assist integrates AI into ITSM to automate routine tasks, optimize workflows, and support intelligent decision-making. We ensure that the solution is configured to benefit both end-users (requesters) and IT agents, maximizing operational efficiency and minimizing manual intervention. This ensures that IT teams can focus on critical tasks rather than repetitive, low-value work.

Enhancing the self-service experience

End-users often face common IT issues such as VPN connectivity problems, password resets, or software access requests. Traditionally, resolving these issues required agent intervention, consuming time and resources. With zeb’s ready-to-use solutions and a wide range of use cases, users can independently resolve many common IT issues, improving first-contact resolution.

With Now Assist:

Intelligent Search Assistance: Queries like “How to configure VPN for Apple devices” provide step-by-step instructions and troubleshooting guidance, helping users resolve issues independently and preventing unnecessary ticket creation.
Virtual Agent Integration: Users can report issues or request hardware, software, and other services directly through the portal. For reported issues, the virtual agent leverages AI to suggest relevant knowledge articles and automatically raises a ticket if the issue is not resolved.

These AI-powered features, implemented with our expertise, reduce ticket volumes, improve first-contact resolution, and free IT teams to focus on more complex tasks.

Supporting agent efficiency

Now Assist equips agents with tools to handle incidents faster and more accurately. We help implement these tools, which include:

Chat Summarization: Condenses chat histories into concise summaries for immediate context, including during live agent transfers, ensuring continuity in conversations.
Reply Recommendations: Suggests AI-generated responses while allowing agents to adjust tone or content.
Task Summarization: Provides a snapshot of the current open task for quicker understanding, helping agents prioritize effectively.
Resolution Notes Generation: Automates documentation by generating consolidated resolution notes based on case discussions, allowing agents to elaborate, shorten, or adjust content as needed.
Knowledge Article Creation: Converts resolutions into knowledge articles for future reference, enhancing organizational knowledge.
Sentiment Analysis: AI evaluates the interaction to indicate whether the requester’s sentiment is positive or negative, helping agents understand and respond to customer moods.

With our guidance, agents leverage these capabilities efficiently, maintaining high-quality service while minimizing repetitive work.

Measurable impact on ITSM operations

Organizations integrating Now Assist with our support experience clear benefits: reduced manual effort, faster resolution times, improved agent productivity, higher self-service adoption, and consistent knowledge management. This proactive approach helps IT teams meet service-level expectations while delivering a seamless support experience.
