Confluent Announces New Cloud Capabilities For Data Streaming
Confluent has announced new Confluent Cloud capabilities that make it easier to process and secure data for faster insights and decision-making. Snapshot queries, new in Confluent Cloud for Apache Flink, bring together real-time and historic data processing to make artificial intelligence (AI) agents and analytics smarter. Confluent Cloud network (CCN) routing simplifies private networking for Apache Flink, and IP Filtering adds access controls for publicly accessible Flink pipelines, securing data for agentic AI and analytics. 'Agentic AI is moving from hype to enterprise adoption as organizations look to gain a competitive edge and win in today's market,' said Shaun Clowes, Chief Product Officer at Confluent. 'But without high-quality data, even the most advanced systems can't deliver real value. The new Confluent Cloud for Apache Flink features make it possible to blend real-time and batch data so that enterprises can trust their agentic AI to drive real change.' Bridging the Real-Time and Batch Divide 'The rise of agentic AI orchestration is expected to accelerate, and companies need to start preparing now,' said Stewart Bond, Vice President of Data Intelligence and Integration Software at IDC. 'To unlock agentic AI's full potential, companies should seek solutions that unify disparate data types, including structured, unstructured, real-time, and historical information, in a single environment. This allows AI to derive richer insights and drive more impactful outcomes.' Agentic AI is driving widespread change in business operations by increasing efficiency and powering faster decision-making by analyzing data to uncover valuable trends and insights. However, for AI agents to make the right decisions, they need historical context about what happened in the past and insight into what's happening right now. For example, for fraud detection, banks need real-time data to react in the moment and historical data to see if a transaction fits a customer's usual patterns. Hospitals need real-time vitals alongside patient medical history to make safe, informed treatment decisions. But to leverage both past and present data, teams often have to use separate tools and develop manual workarounds, resulting in time-consuming work and broken workflows. Additionally, it's important to secure the data that's used for analytics and agentic AI; this ensures trustworthy results and prevents sensitive data from being accessed. Snapshot Queries Unify Processing on One Platform In Confluent Cloud, snapshot queries let teams unify historical and streaming data with a single product and language, enabling consistent, intelligent experiences for both analytics and agentic AI. With seamless Tableflow integration, teams can easily gain context from past data. Snapshot queries allow teams to explore, test, and analyze data without spinning up new workloads. This makes it easier to supply agents with context from historic and real-time data or conduct an audit to understand key trends and patterns. Snapshot queries are now available in early access. CCN Routing Simplifies Private Networking for Flink Private networking is important for organizations that require an additional layer of security. Confluent offers a streamlined private networking solution by reusing existing CCNs that teams have already created for Apache Kafka clusters. Teams can use CCN to securely connect their data to any Flink workload, such as streaming pipelines, AI agents, or analytics. CCN routing is now generally available on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in all regions where Flink is supported. IP Filtering Protects Flink Workloads in Hybrid Environments Many organizations that operate in hybrid environments need more control over which data can be publicly accessed. IP Filtering for Flink helps teams restrict internet traffic to allowed IPs and improves visibility into unauthorized access attempts by making it easier to track the attempts. IP Filtering is generally available for all Confluent Cloud users. Now organizations can more easily turn the promise of agentic AI into a competitive advantage.

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.
