Bots and Assistants are perfectly needed in ITSM
Technology has changed the way employees work and the way companies do their business today. With the help of IT, now offices run faster, smoother and easier. IT has made inroads into each and every part of the business, be it Asset Management, HR Management, Business Development or Operations Management. So, when your workplace is dependent on IT to such an extent, IT Service Management (ITSM) becomes one of the most important area. With a proper ITSM, you can ensure that your workplace is functioning at its optimum productivity levels.
And when ITSM is empowered by Artificial Intelligence, through Chatbots or Virtual Assistants, any organization can achieve those levels.
Benefits of Bots and Assistants in ITSM:
-
1. Faster Service Request/ Reporting
Whenever your team encounters a system issue – be it a hardware, software or connectivity issue, they can report it to the concerned department through a service request. It could be reporting an incident such as software malfunction or Wi-Fi connectivity, or it could be a service request; ITSM becomes the platform where they can do it. When your ITSM is equipped with Chatbots or Virtual Assistant, it becomes so much easier for the team to register a detailed service request, and get it resolved quickly.

2. AI Based Automatic Processing
The request raised by your team, now needs to be resolved by IT department. However, it has become difficult to give a prompt response to all the requests in recent times. Your IT department can’t be everywhere at the same time, right? But you can use a Chatbot or an Assistant to communicate with the team and analyse the issue, without human intervention. Based on the existing patterns, the AI can analyse the issue & available data, and suggest steps to manage them. The number of calls and duration of the calls gets cut by 40% with the Chatbots and Assistants.
