NVIDIA and ServiceNow collaborate to revolutionize enterprises with generative AI
Utilizing the ServiceNow Platform, NVIDIA AI Software, and DGX Infrastructure, custom large language models are being developed to introduce smart workflow automation to enterprises. A vast majority of companies are interested in using AI, but a hurdle exists in implementing generative AI within enterprises: AI models are proficient in learning from public data, but they don’t have access to enterprise-specific data. This means they can’t address company-specific queries, like setting up a VPN or explaining employee benefits. ServiceNow is crafting custom large language models using NVIDIA’s software, services, and accelerated infrastructure. These models are trained on data specifically for the ServiceNow Platform, a smart platform designed for comprehensive digital transformation.

How to optimize cloud operations in Microsoft Azure
https://www.servicenow.com/blogs/2023/how-to-optimize-cloud-operations.html
In an article on the ServiceNow blog, the firm’s senior director of digital technology for IT infrastructure explains how ServiceNow has embraced a three-zero strategy for its digital technology operations: zero unplanned outages, zero physical footprints, and zero user-reported incidents. He explains that ServiceNow adopted a cloud-first policy as part of its zero-physical-footprint strategy. This approach delivers the operational agility ServiceNow needs as a growing company—they can add capacity on demand. With a data-center approach, that would take weeks or months.
“By moving our business-critical applications to Microsoft Azure, we’ve improved the user experience, increased application performance, and added redundancy to help avoid unplanned outages,” he says. “But the migration story doesn’t end there. Just as crucial is how we optimize cloud operations after the migration is complete.”

ServiceNow Chief Innovation Officer Dave Wright announced the winners of the The Devvies App of the Year contest, which highlights how customers and partners use the Now Platform to create innovative apps that improve the quality of their organizations, transform user experiences, and even save lives.
To be considered for an award, apps could be built by professional or citizen developers, solo or as a team. The apps had to be complete and in use by an organization. This year we received 109 app entries from 182 contest participants.
The Citizen Development App of the Year Award goes to Universitat de Girona, which designed an app to streamline school improvement plans. It enables real-time sharing, tracking, and reporting with a centralized document repository. Automating manual processes saves time for 480 end users.
The App of the Year Award goes to University of Toronto Mississauga, whose app has changed the nature of remote service for students and staff at the university. Students receive a response to their questions in one to three days versus the prior timeline of 14 days minimum. Fast responses and limited follow-up have resulted in nearly $775,000 in savings in one year.
