Qualtrics and ServiceNow strengthen employee and customer service experiences

Qualtrics and ServiceNow have announced a new app to improve employee and customer service experiences .

Available in the ServiceNow Store , the new Qualtrics Embedded Insights ( QEI ) gives IT and customer service agents a unified view of employee and customer experience and operational data , enabling them to make informed decisions and take immediate action to respond to employee and customer needs .
QEI offers pre-built configurations that allow organizations to see their experience data and operational data in one centralized view within their ServiceNow Workspace .
QEI also helps IT and customer service teams identify opportunities to automate routine tasks through a few clicks , rather than code . Agents can then provide personalized service within ServiceNow for priority and complex issues . The app is the next step in Qualtrics and ServiceNow ’ s continued partnership , originally announced in April 2021 .
“ Technology has become central to employee and customer experiences . A single poor experience can have lasting impact as people decide where to work and which brands to do business with ,” said Jay
Choi , Qualtrics Executive Vice President and Chief Product Officer , EmployeeXM .
“ Our integration with ServiceNow makes it even easier for organizations to provide excellent experiences from the start , helping employees be more productive at work and customers feel more heard when issues arise .”
