GenAI isn’t a new concept; it’s become an integral part of our daily lives, both personally and professionally. However, the current structure of AI solutions often lacks the crucial business context needed for driving real-world outcomes.

This is where ServiceNow truly shines. ServiceNow bridges the gap between human intelligence and artificial intelligence, unlocking a new level of simplicity to achieve better business results. This partnership enables us to streamline workflows, improve service delivery, enhance decision-making, personalize user experiences, and drive innovation.

ServiceNow’s Gen AI platform is changing the way businesses operate. From intelligent automation to personalised user experiences, generative AI promises to unlock a new level of efficiency and productivity. But before you dive into this exciting new frontier, there’s a crucial first step: ensuring your data is ready.

Think of Gen AI as a powerful engine.  Just like any engine, it needs clean, high-quality fuel to run smoothly. In this case, the fuel is your data. By investing time in data quality now, you’ll be well-positioned to reap the maximum benefits of Gen AI later.

Here’s what you can do to get your foundation data in place for ServiceNow’s Gen AI:

• Cleanse and Standardise:  Your data may contain inconsistencies, errors, and duplicates.  A data cleansing exercise will identify and rectify these issues.  Additionally, ensure all data formats are standardized across different systems for seamless integration.
• Completeness is Key:  Gen AI thrives on comprehensive data sets.  Identify and address any missing information within your existing data.
• Accessibility Matters:  Make sure your data is easily accessible by Gen AI.  Break down data silos and ensure all relevant data points are integrated into the ServiceNow platform.
• Focus on Relevance:  Not all data is created equal.  Identify the data sets most critical for the specific Gen AI functionalities you plan to utilize.
• Embrace Ongoing Data Governance:  Data quality is not a one-time fix. Establish a data governance framework to ensure the ongoing accuracy, consistency, and security of your information.

By following these steps, you’ll be laying a strong foundation for a successful Gen AI implementation.  Here’s the payoff:

• Improved Accuracy: Clean data leads to more accurate AI models, resulting in better decision-making and fewer errors.
