ServiceNow Communities is a major new application in its Customer Service Management solution. With Communities, enterprises can now provide a personalized self-service experience for every customer, providing them real-time access to their profile, cases, products, services, and notifications. Now, companies can reduce case volumes, obtain new perspectives into product use or customer needs, and expand overall reach to new prospects. (Graphic: Business Wire)
Research shows that engaged customers are more loyal to businesses. Customers who engage in online communities have higher satisfaction and tend to buy more than those who do not.
“Communities are key to driving loyalty,” said
ServiceNow Communities includes core capabilities such as managed forums, curated topics, support for multiple content types, moderation and granular permissions. Additional features include:
- Personalized self-service experience is delivered through the integration of Communities with the ServiceNow Customer Service Portal. Customers can see or edit their profile details, cases, products, services, and notifications in the same place where they can engage in the community.
- Seamless contextual searching enables customers to get information or answers faster with a single search that works across ServiceNow Knowledge Management and Communities.
- Customer-specific activity stream provides content and updates customers desire from the community to reduce information overload and to ensure relevant information is in the forefront.
According to

Growing faster than the customer service software market overall,
Improving Customer Service Management with Field Service Management and Cost Transparency
In addition to Communities,
- Dynamic Scheduling for Field Service optimizes technician assignments to reduce travel times, cut costs, and to ensure the best utilization. Multiple tasks can be assigned to different agents at the same time, enabling prioritization while assigning and automatically moving work to an unassigned state due scheduling of a higher priority task.
- Cost Management helps customer service leaders to understand the true costs of the services their companies deliver. Customer Service Management is integrated with the ServiceNow ITBM Cost Transparency application enabling monitoring and analysis of service costs by customer account, channel, product version, product line, contracts and more.
This latest release further strengthens the ServiceNow Customer Service Management solution to enable companies to deliver effortless, connected, and proactive customer service. It’s built on a single platform that connects departments, workflows and systems, including field service, knowledge management and portals.
ServiceNow Communities will be available in the third quarter of 2017.
