ServiceNow Reveals AI-Powered CRM Advancements
Home » Tech Value Chain » Global Brands » ServiceNow Reveals AI-Powered CRM Advancements ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) has announced a major upgrade to its CRM platform. The company revealed new AI-powered capabilities designed to transform the customer experience. The CRM enhancements aim to replace outdated systems. ServiceNow said it is unifying sales, fulfillment, and service on one platform. The goal is to provide seamless, end-to-end customer experiences. The company introduced AI agents for CRM. These agents can handle tasks autonomously, scale sales and support operations, and enable true self-service. This move marks a shift from reactive service to proactive engagement. According to ServiceNow, traditional CRMs end at the front office. This limits their ability to support the full customer lifecycle. The updated CRM is built for an AI-first world, with proactive and personalized experiences across all touchpoints. ServiceNow reported that its CRM business is growing rapidly. It reached an annual contract value (ACV) of $1.4 billion by the end of 2024. This reflects a 30% year-over-year growth, making it the company's fastest-growing workflow solution. John Ball, EVP and GM of CRM and Industry Workflows at ServiceNow, stated that the platform allows businesses to manage the full customer lifecycle more efficiently. He said the AI-powered platform enables workflow automation from order capture to fulfillment. ServiceNow's AI agents are already automating 37% of its own customer support cases. These agents: Start with conversational interactions to capture requests Automatically resolve issues or route them with full context The company said these agents can coordinate with live representatives when needed. This helps businesses increase efficiency and reduce response times. ServiceNow also reported a series of recent innovations. In April, it signed a definitive agreement to acquire an AI-powered CPQ provider. The acquisition is expected to expand ServiceNow's CRM capabilities and help sales teams close deals faster. Additionally, the company launched its Yokohama platform update. It introduced new features such as AI agents, self-service commerce portals, and turnkey CCaaS integrations. With these advancements, ServiceNow is positioning its platform as a complete solution to sell, fulfill, and service from the first customer contact to final resolution.

Nearly half of UAE consumers feel AI not meeting their customer service expectations
More than half (54 per cent) of UAE consumers say that failing to understand emotional cues is more of an AI trait than human, a study showed. According to research by ServiceNow, the AI platform for business transformation, Despite rapid advancements in AI and its widespread use in customer service, UAE consumers overwhelmingly (at least 68 per cent) prefer to interact with people for customer support. ServiceNow's Consumer Voice Report 2025 surveyed 17,000 adults across 13 countries in EMEA — including 1000 in the UAE — and explores consumer expectations when it comes to AI's role in customer experience (CX). Based on the findings of the research, the perceived lack of AI's general emotional intelligence (EQ) is a critical factor in shaping consumer sentiment in this regard. Fifty one per cent feel agents having a limited understanding of context is more likely to be AI; and an equal number say misunderstanding slang, idioms and informal language is more likely AI. Meanwhile, nearly two thirds (64 per cent) of UAE consumers feel repetitive or scripted responses are more of an AI trait. 'The key takeaway for business leaders is that AI can no longer be just another customer service tool – it has to be an essential partner to the human agent. The future of customer relationships now lies at the intersection of AI and emotional intelligence (EQ). Consumers no longer want AI that just gets the job done; they want AI that understands them,' commented William O'Neill, Area VP, UAE at ServiceNow. High stakes, low trust The report also highlights a clear AI trust gap, particularly for urgent or complex requests. UAE consumers embrace AI for speed and convenience in low-risk/routine tasks — 23 per cent of UAE consumers trust an AI chatbot for scheduling a car service appointment and 24 per cent say they are happy to use an AI chatbot for tracking a lost or delayed package. However, when it comes to more sensitive or urgent tasks, consumer confidence in AI drops. Only 13 per cent would trust AI to dispute a suspicious transaction on their bank account with 43 per cent instead preferring to handle this in-person. Similarly, when it comes to troubleshooting a home internet issue, only 20 per cent of consumers across the Emirates are happy to rely on an AI chatbot, with 50 per cent preferring to troubleshoot the issue with someone on the phone. Humans and AI For all the frustrations with AI — almost half (47 per cent) of UAE consumers say their customer service interactions with AI chatbots have not met their expectations — the research does suggest that consumers consider AI as crucial for organizations looking to deliver exceptional customer experiences. For one, in addition to seamless service (90 per cent), quick response times (89 per cent) and accurate information (88 per cent), more than three quarter (76 per cent) of UAE consumers expect the organizations they deal with to provide a good chatbot service. But perhaps more interestingly, 85 per cent of consumers across the Emirates expect the option for self-service problem solving, which does indicate the need for organizations to integrate AI insights and data analysis into service channels to anticipate customer needs before they arise. 'While AI in customer service is currently falling short of consumer expectations, it is not failing. Rather, it is evolving. There is an opportunity for businesses to refine AI by empowering it with the right information, making it more adaptive, emotionally aware, and seamlessly integrated with human agents to take/recommend the next best action and deliver unparalleled customer relationships,' added O'Neill. 'Consumers do not want less AI – they want AI that works smarter. By understanding the biggest pain points, companies can make AI a trusted ally rather than a frustrating barrier.'
