Salesforce Challenges ServiceNow With Agentforce ITSM

Salesforce rolled out Agentforce IT Service, an AI agent-powered ITSM that debuted in October, company executives said on a recent earnings call. Early adopter PenFed projects a 30% operating-cost reduction and $2 million in savings; ServiceNow remains Gartner's ITSM leader and security prompt-injection issues required recent Salesforce patches. The launch could accelerate midmarket CRM customers' migration toward Salesforce's ITSM offering.
