Enterprise Alert is the central hub for managing critical alerting, notifications, and remediation needs. It is a database-driven application and most of the time, once set up and configured, it just silently does its job in the background.

With our latest release 8.4.4, we included a number of changes to our 2-way smart connectors for the BMC product family to improve running scenarios as well as to ease the way for more integration to benefit from the reliable notifications and remote remediation capabilities Enterprise Alert offers.

Did you know that around 306 billion emails have been sent globally every day in 2020 and about 45 percent of all emails received are spam. Even more surprisingly, websites that are marked as spam on email portals lose 95 percent of their traffic. Email servers tend to blacklist certain IDs as spam based on their content. And for companies marketing their business via emails, 36 percent of the total spam messages across the globe are attributed to advertising content.

Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is a global security standard technology that is being adopted by a number of different organizations across the globe.

We measure a lot of our ITSM success through increments of time. But mean time to resolution, time on page in the knowledgebase, and cases-per-hour aren’t just go-to metrics. They set the cultural expectations for our service teams – that improving service times, without sacrificing quality, is paramount.

Look around your desk, and you probably see a variety of tools that make you more productive — an ergonomic chair, a mug of coffee or tea, a notepad, or a charger. As individuals, we put great thought into making our personal space productive, a habit that many organizations have yet to fully replicate in their digital workspaces.

Chatbots are rising in popularity, both in consumer and enterprises circles, because they are quick, sometimes clever, and ultimately help workers and customers get answers to common questions without bogging down your service team. As part of our ITSM Professional package, ServiceNow’s Virtual Agent far exceeds some of the chatbots you may have used in your personal life for one simple reason – access to information.
